Inspiration from our u3a Members
Val, Ashby u3a
Val created this two tier cake for Ashby u3a.
"I'm a happy amateur, with a "I will give it a go" mentality. I love all things hand crafting, so this seemed a good idea to me."
Jenny, Croydon u3a
Jenny has created many different cakes over the years.
"I can make lots of cake toppers, flowers – all sorts." You can see the variety of skills Jenny has honed on display below.
Jenny also took part in our #GenerationWOW collaboration with Specsavers, showing us how to cover a cake in fondant and buttercream, as well as how to pipe with buttercream and decorate iced cakes. Perhaps you can take some inspiration from Jenny's video!
