The most beautiful Weyr of Dragons in the land
November saw me back at the wonderful HQ of Sugar and Crumbs, where I'd been invited to give an online class tutorial of Pearl the Dragon. We welcomed our students to join us online during the day, to sculpt along with us in real time, or to create in their own time -...
Because no-one can resist that look…
Receiving cake requests from clients feels like Christmas morning - what will I get asked to make? How big will it be? How many techniques, twists and turns will I need to use and take in the whole process? What will the next masterpiece be that I add to my portfolio?...
The Standing Shar-Pei
I love the feeling of that first email from a customer, who gets in touch because they have a visionary image they would like to see.. in cake form. I mean - it's something pretty special. A wonderful lady contacted me, to tell me of her beloved pooch, a Shar-Pei -...
Don’t get splashed!

Student work – there’s nothing greater

Woman’s Own Lockdown rebels…
Lockdown 2020 is/was a strange time for us all. During which - *pinch me now* - Woman's Own magazine got in touch to feature me as one of their 'Lockdown Rebels'! The team at Woman's Own is just amazing - they put together this wonderful article all about the launch...
Pick Me Up!
When Pick Me Up magazine got in touch to ask if they could write a feature on me and my business, I instantly said 'yes please!' That feeling; that people out there are interested in me; my skills, creations and journey on how I got to where I am now is something that...
And then galloped the Carousel Horse…
What a weekend. This time travelling south, I made my way to Sweet Majic in Sittingbourne, Kent, to deliver my Carousel Horse Advanced Structure Class, hosted by my gorgeous friend Natalie. These student creations speak for themselves. It was so wonderful to spend two...
