Why Our Members Love the Christmas Cake Club

I’ve done several online courses with Carol and her standard of teaching is outstanding. Carol explains everything in an easy to understand way and always goes into great detail, ensuring that all of your questions are answered.

I wanted to improve my cake decorating skills and I knew Carol was the right person to help me. I was initially nervous and felt out of my depth working with Carol, however, her experience and teaching methods put me at ease and grew my confidence very quickly.

I’ve already taken a few courses with Carol, who is a genuine artist.

Carol is very patient, respected in her field, and a visibly passionate teacher. I genuinely believe that spending time with Carol has prevented me wasting years of my own time on trial and error.

If you’re on the fence about taking one of Carol’s courses then please don’t be, I highly recommend them. I’m now able to offer my customers a much more premium service which they are very happy to pay for.

HI! I’M CAROL

I’ve been making cakes since I was a teenager, whilst at Catering college training to be chef before joining the Army. Whilst in the army I used to compete in the annual Christmas cake competition that most of the chefs took part in.

When we moved back to England I carried on working as a civilian Chef for the Army, as well as making the odd cake here and there. I remember the very last cake I made before my husband left the Army was a wedding cake for his boss. The idea of setting up a business never crossed my mind until hubby said ‘why don’t you make cakes for a living?’ So that’s what I did when we settled in Peterborough.    

Whilst working as a part time chef I was also making cakes for the business. The orders started to rush in so I decided to quit my job and focus on the business full time. I did this at the beginning of the recession back in 2008 and it was the best thing I ever did!  

With the business growing I wanted to expand my skill set, this led me to Cake International. I entered the following year and won Silver in the Wedding cake category.

Since then I’ve won many Gold awards in the Wedding, Celebration, and Sculpted cake categories. I have also won Regional business awards and had many of my cakes featured in well known cake magazines including Saracino Magazine, Cake Masters, The Wedding Cake Magazine and The American Cake Decorating Magazine.I have demonstrated for The British Sugarcraft Guild, Cake International, Saracino, and Global Cake Artists Unite. Teaching is one of the things I really enjoy, passing on my years of knowledge and experience with lots of handy hints and tips.

Covering square cakes with sugarpaste had always been my nemesis. I tried over and over again without success and I needed help.

I had a 1:1 with Carol and covered everything from ganaching to covering a square cake.  Carol was very patient and showed me where I was going wrong.

The day was very informative and I learnt a lot of new techniques. I wouldn’t hesitate in booking another course with Carol

As a cake baker I have ‘followed’ Cakes by Carol for a few years and been in awe of her wonderful cakes.  

The day was amazing, full of information, some of which I think I’ve forgotten until I am undertaking bits that she taught, and I then can hear her in my head.

The cost was higher than I initially thought of paying, but boy was it worth it……. The time and attention to detail were so impressive.  My cakes have improved to another level.  She is still my point of contact for advice.

I would not hesitate to have another 121 with Carol, I just love her enthusiasm for all things cake, it is infectious.
