Sugarcraft Classes

SPRING 2010

Classes will start on the 16^th and 17^th February. There will be two basic classes held on Wednesday evenings, and, if there are enough students, there will be two classes on Tuesday mornings. Each course will be made up of 6 lessons. The tutors are Jenny and Barry Jones who, between them, have over 90 years of teaching experience. They are expected to last the course!!

LOCATION

The classes will be held at Little Paxton Village Hall in the Committee Room. There is ample free parking.

REGISTRATION AND PAYMENT

Registration. You must register at Sugar Daddy's by the 30^th January to guarantee a place on the course of your choice.

Cost and Payment. The cost of each 6-lesson course is £80. Payment of a £40 deposit (or the full amount, if you wish) is due at the time of registration, and the balance must be paid by the 8^th February. Refunds will be made only in exceptional circumstances, and if the course place can be filled. There is sometimes a small charge for consumable items, such as royal icing or petal paste, which will be notified in advance and collected by the tutors during the lesson concerned. No other payments should be made to the tutors.

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

You will need your own equipment. When you register, you will be given a list of things needed for the course, and we can advise on what is essential and what you can probably find in your kitchen - or grandma's!

BASIC COURSES

Learning how to prepare a fruit cake and cover it with marzipan and sugarpaste (roll-out icing). Includes the making of royal icing and icing bags, basic piping skills and an introduction to sugarcraft techniques, eg colouring, frilling, crimping, embossing, and the use of modelling paste. The end product will be a celebration cake on an iced board made to the design of your choice, eg christening, birthday, anniversary, or something just for fun.
