Cake Decorating

Cake Icing Classes given by Mrs. J. Dinsdale from Carperby.

These cakes were the result of three cake icing lessons
given by Mrs. J. Dinsdale featured below

Everyone worked extremely hard and some very professional cakes were produced.

Wrapped and ready.

This is Lizs' very first cake. The eggs came from her own chickens.
The sponge was as light as a feather in spite of a very temperamental oven.
