Sugar Figures with Lorraine McKay!



What a fabulous last few days at Flour Confections!


We had the privilege to host the extremely talented & funny Lorraine McKay of The Icing on the Cake. Students were treated to two classes, the famous "Bride & Groom" and "Claire" AKA "Girl's Best Friend". Lorraine took us through the step by step process of creating her fabulous & charming characters, and all the while she kept us laughing.


On the Sunday, students were welcome to coffee, tea & juice before settling in to learn how to create a stunning bride & groom topper. As always, all tools were supplied, students were only asked to bring a willingness to learn!

Lorraine took us through the step by step process of creating a standing bride and a sitting groom -it was wonderful seeing each character come to life!

On the Tuesday, students learned how to create a charming topper called "Girls best friend" - a sitting girl complete with a pair of cute little dogs.

And like all good things, the fun ended way too soon! Lorraine is now safely back in Scotland, but has plans to return in 2012!!


Thank you Lorraine for some wonderful classes!
