The Sugarcraft Box

Are you decorating a cake or do you have a cake disaster? If so, you HAVE to come here!
I enjoy cake decorating but I’m no expert. I think my rookie creations get compliments from my husband just because he doesn’t want to upset me and he wants to eat the cake.
When I first visited this shop the smell of sweet icing hit me, lifted me up and floated me through the door. I felt like a big kid in a sweety shop and I didn’t know what to look at first. The walls are full of everything cakey! Iced butterflies, cake wire, piping heads, piping bags, cake toppers… I could keep going. My cake decorating collection is only small yet had a massive boost after I’d left as the prices here were better than reasonable!
I’ve always known that cake decorating is an art form but to see the weirdly shaped utensils and fun looking gadgets used, brought on severe cake making urges I didn’t know I had. The entire shop oozes cake decorating inspirations and ideas. I’ve always been creative and arty but even I know it’s not just about having the tools, it’s about knowing how to use them. I’d noticed a sugarcraft class poster in the window so I spoke to Lorna — the manageress — and she told me they offer 10 week sugarcraft courses in which you learn skills such as flower making, covering cakes and piping for £150! Each class lasts 2 hours and all the equipment is there for you to use.
The Sugarcraft Box specialises in last minute cakes. I asked Lorna how last minute was last minute and she told me she had made a cake during the day for a party taking place that night!!! So if your cake is dropped or your delivery doesn’t turn up get yourself down here asap.
If you are more of a cake eater rather than a cake decorator this shop is still worth a visit, you never know you may get a new hobby.
