Cakes by Carol | Award Winning Cake Maker Peterborough

In the historic cathedral city of Peterborough, where Roman heritage meets modern Cambridgeshire life, Carol operates her cake decorating studio from the nearby village of Stilton. This specialist school focuses exclusively on Fondant & Sugarcraft techniques, offering both newcomers and experienced decorators the chance to master the precise art of cake decoration. The studio runs a comprehensive range of sugarcraft classes that cover fundamental through to advanced techniques. Beginners can start with essential skills like fondant covering and royal icing piping, while more experienced decorators can tackle sophisticated methods including flower making, character sculpting, and figure modelling. The curriculum also includes modern finishing techniques such as achieving sharp edges with ganache, ensuring students learn both traditional and contemporary approaches to cake decoration. The signature "Sugarcraft Master The Basics" workshop exemplifies the thorough teaching approach, running as an intensive 24-hour course priced from £260. This comprehensive session covers ganache application alongside sharp edge techniques, providing students with the foundation skills needed for professional-looking results. Classes operate in small groups to ensure personalised attention, though one-to-one sessions are also available for those seeking focused instruction. Most essential materials are provided during workshops, allowing students to concentrate on learning rather than sourcing supplies. The studio's location in Stilton offers convenient access from both the A1 and Peterborough train station, making it accessible for students across the East of England region. Gift vouchers and private hire options are available, making this a suitable choice for serious cake decorating students seeking structured, skill-building instruction in sugarcraft techniques.
