In 2013, I was twelve years into my nursing career and had recently left the Royal Air Force. I needed a change, but I didn’t know what that change was.

Enquiries: [email protected] I enjoyed my work, but I wasn’t very good at being told what to do and could never handle the stress of a busy ward. Until I signed up for a cupcake decorating workshop one Saturday afternoon just for fun, and it exploded in to a passion. Over the next few years I spent a small fortune on cake decorating tools, baked cupcakes for my housemate, and spent hours searching Youtube videos to learn new techniques. Four years later I completed a PME Professional Diploma in Cake Decorating, training under the expert tutelage of Leigh Muschette. I started making celebration cakes for friends and family, and then started juggling the odd cake order with the chaos of raising two children. Now, twelve years on - with my nursing career well and truly behind me, and the kids nearly in full-time education – I can finally return to the workshop. Only this time, I'm on the other side of the table, sharing everything I've learned along the way. Spark your creativity and discover your inner cake artist at one of my hands-on cake decorating workshops. Or order a bespoke, freshly baked cake handcrafted for your special celebration.

To make these mini sugar Carrots (which I just adore!) I just used some modelling paste, food colouring and a cocktail stick. On small, light areas like this you can even use a dab of water instead of edible glue.

So if you're just starting out, don't go and spend fortunes on equipment. Start small and simple.

Follow me for more beginners tips, and join me on one of my workshops.

I LOVE an Amazon bargain! 🤩 I stumbled across these the other day and thought I'd top up my stash of cutters. Who wouldn't at that price!

They're not super-professional quality, but for beginner bakers, they work brilliantly, and it's a great starter pack at a really great price.

Join me on one of my workshops, and I'll teach you how to use plunge cutters effectively to get a really sharp finish.

Just to be clear, I LOVE the creaming method for most cakes, but for cupcakes it just doesn't do it for me.

When I've got 50 cupcakes to make for a workshop I want to get them DONE!

The all-in-one method is a quick alternative but it can result in dense shallow cupcakes which is an absolute no no.

But there is a method that gives you the speed and convenience of the all-in-one method with results more like the creaming method. It's known as:

✨️Reverse Creaming✨️

Instead of adding your wet ingredients to the butter and sugar, you mix your wet ingredients into your dry ingredients.

The idea is that the flour is coated in butter before any liquid is added which helps prevent gluten from developing when you mix in your wet ingredients.

Its so quick and easy and the result is beautiful, light, moist cupcakes.

The Method:
🧁Measure your flour and sugar in to a mixing bowl and gently mix together.
🧁Add your softened butter and mix at the lowest speed on your mixer until it starts to look like wet sand. (Mixing by hand is sometimes easier here. You DON'T want to over-mix until it starts coming together like a dough. 😬)
🧁Add all your wet ingredients, eggs, milk, vanilla extract etc. All at once. Just chuck it all in there! Trust the process!
🧁Mix on a low speed until just combined, then scrape the bowl.
🧁Mix on a medium speed until everything is fully combined.

And your done! 🙌

This is just one of the tips I talk about on my Cupcakes for Beginners workshop. Want to learn more? Get in touch! Or click the link in my bio.

Which method do you use? Would you try the reverse creaming method?
