Hi Tanya,
Thanks for the welcome. You have a great website - I'm pretty sure I've seen some of your amazing work on cakes on the BSG :o)
We chose Canada as we both are huge ice hockey fans plus we really like the cold winters and hot summers that they have. It took over 3 years to get our permanent residency visas through as its such a popular country to move to. Still, we feel very lucky to finally be here and are enjoying every minute of it. The cake world over here is quite different to the UK - very Wilton based here so I'm glad that I shipped all of my cake tools & equipment over with me.
Have a lovely weekend everyone.
Hi Tanya,
BSG is the British Sugarcraft Guild. I've been a member for 3 years and their forum is huge! I noticed that one of your crowns was in an article in the recent Squires 'cakes & sugarcraft' magazine. Did you know it was going to be in there? It was used as a topper for a cake and looked amazing.
The truth is I can hardly skate. Been trying for years and bought some new skates before Christmas to try out on the outdoor rinks here but ended up not going much as it was so cold, lol. We live in a city called Barrie which is 45 mins north of Toronto. Beautiful part of Ontario with lots of lakes and countryside. I'm really looking forward to our first summer here. Spring has been lovely so far.
Have a great week everyone,
Ang
hey Lilly,
"american" Ann here... For the roses, you might want to check into Carol Haycox's (from FMM) short DVD called "Rose and Carnation spray". She uses a five petal cutter and her instruction is really easy follow and very helpful. The DVD is only about 20 minutes long and is sold on FMMsugarcraft.com for only 2.81gbp. Look under their miscellaneous products, page two to find it.

Well I managed to survive my brothers wedding cake! In the end I gave up on doing realistic flowerpaste roses and just made them from modelling paste but it still took me three days to make them all. I made them in advance because I didn't want to bake the cakes that early and I was worried about how long they'd take to make. I found them quite hard to arrange because they were hard and there was no give - felt a bit like doing a jigsaw, trying to find roses that would fit around all the others without leaving too big a hole! Now I just have to wait and see what they think of it...
