We know piping and working with royal is time consuming, what advice do you have for people when it comes to decorating with this technique? Stay calm. It may seem like it is taking forever at first but you will get a flow going and the end result is more than worth it What are your most favourite tools and why? Piping tips… They have given me so much joy and opened up so much opportunity for me. What’s your favourite cake flavour? White chocolate with raspberry. People often struggle to price cakes especially time consuming ones, for beginners out there what do you believe people should factor in when pricing a cake with this kind of work? in New South Wales. There will be beginners classes along with sculpting and piping classes throughout the year. http://www. internationalcelebrationcakegalleria. com/67.html https://www.facebook.com/pages/ Sallys-Cakes-Special-cakes-for-alloccasions/124999550912026?ref=hl Do you experiment with unique flavours in your kitchen? Yes I recently invented a salted caramel with a salted caramel ganache at the request of a special bride and groom. Work out your value per hour. Charge what it takes to do it. If you are taking a little longer than an experienced decorator you need to take this into account. You can’t charge for your inexperience, put that down to a good learning opportunity and you will get faster the more practice you get. Cake orders, teaching and hopefully a book. Apart from royal icing what other techniques do you enjoy using on cakes? Where will you be teaching classes this year? Silver Leaf!It gives an instant WOW factor. What does Sally’s Cakes, Special cakes for all Occasions have in store for the rest of this year? My icing school opens in March with classes running monthly or on demand at the Bee Keepers Inn which is located between Orange and Bathurst Connect with us! f www.acdn.me [email protected] To see more of Sally’s stunning work, check out her class schedules or to purchase her latest tutorials visit the links below. more information www.internationalcelebrationcakegalleria.com/67.html www.facebook.com/pages/Sallys-Cakes-Special-cakes-for-alloccasions/124999550912026?ref=hl click here to join our mailing list!
