New classes announced

I have two new dates for classes.  Another basics course on 15th May and an advanced class on 26th June.  And here are some new advertising shots for the advanced class where I am trying to channel a shabby chic theme.  If you want to attend one of our classes, get in touch with me at info@cakesbycat.co.uk for more details.

Some advertising cakes and a photography experiment

As we are running a course on 6th March, I thought I would make some cakes to show people what they are going to learn.  Then it became a study in tilt shift photography.  Mr Cakes by Cat discovered this marvellous technique that blurs one edge of the photo.  So after some playing around we ended up with a fabulous set of photos.  If anyone is interested, the photos were taken using an app on the iphone 4.  It seems the need for a separate camera is diminishing!  We are going to keep playing with it and see what happens next time.

Oh, and the cakes, I thought they turned out pretty well too and even got blogged at Cupcakes Take the Cake, the biggest and most well known cupcake blog: http://cupcakestakethecake.blogspot.com/2011/02/variety-of-flower-cupcakes.html

Here's hoping that we met the goal of advertising the next course.

Cupcake class

I love teaching people how to decorate cakes. People are always surprised by the professional results they can get if they just have the know how.  I have run a couple of "at home" classes but here is a flyer for our first class open to all!  Hope someone comes!

Cakey pictures

If you want to see all my cake pictures go to www.facebook.com/cakesbycat.ely or http://www.flickr.com/photos/thecupcakedivine/ (yes, I know it is the wrong name but I haven't got round to reloading all my photos to a new acccount).  In the meantime, here is one to keep you going.  These were for a 1st birthday and you guessed it, based on a print on my fabulous Cath Kidston purse.  More photos to be added soon!

A new blog

Hello, here is the first post on my new blog.  I won't repeat the description about me that is already on here but I will direct you to my facebook page at www.facebook.com/cakesbycat.ely where I store most of my photos.  You can also find us on twitter as cakesbycat.
