Back to About Us

Rhianydd was self-taught from the many sugarcraft and cake-decorating books available and entered a few competitions in 2000, gaining Commended, Highly Commended, Bronze and Silver but since then has been largely occupied with the wedding cakes. Between 2001 and 2004, she has attended courses in Neath Port Talbot College and other venues to study cake decoration and sugar flowers.  She holds certificates in Sugar Modelling; Confectionary; C & G Sugarcraft; Intermediate Sugarcraft (Distinction), Sugar Flowers (Distinction) and Professional Chocolate Work.   Rhianydd has also achieved Level 2 flower arranging. Rhianydd now teaches at Tonyrefail and Porth Comprehensives, demonstrates for the British Sugarcraft Guild and holds classes at the Studio. Her favourite sugar authors are: Alan Dunn for sugar flowers.  He is a specialist in this field, and all of his books are excellent. Debbie Brown for novelty cakes.  Be prepared to work hard when you make one of her designs, but the end result is stunning.  Or use her many techniques to design your own.  More personal that way. Other favourites and inspirations include: The British Sugarcraft Guild, Alison Proctor (my first ever cake book); Tombi Peck; the International Sugarcraft Guild books; Emma Slatter (modelled figures); Lindy Smith (novelty cakes), and John Slattery (for his chocolate cakes)
