Wedding cake tips - wedding tip video

Tuesday, 23 June 2009

Earlier this year I was delighted to be asked to interview renowned cake-maker and sugarcraft guru, Lindy Smith, for her new DVD. We had such a fun morning and I am still in awe of the utterly fantastic works of art that Lindy produces - it just doesn't seem to do them justice to call them 'cakes'! Here is a clip from the DVD where Lindy shares some wedding cake tips with me.



Do visit Lindy's Cakes website where you'll find inspiration for your own wedding cake along with a wonderfully well-stocked online shop that sells everything from cookie cutters to (my favourite!) cupcake covers if you fancy having a go yourself. You can also order Lindy's Wonky Cake & Cake Jewellery DVDs if this week's Wedding Tip Wednesday has whet your appetite!
