Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

I can no longer see the shop link on the page, is anyone else having same problem?

Just to give some clarity to the online shop ….

We had been experiencing some site downtime and the problem was eventually traced back to the shop stock updates. The shop has been taken off while we investigate, but we are happy to deal with any questions at all surrounding orders that have been placed so all the customer support that was in place is still provided.

In the meantime we suggest you use:
The Cake Decorating Company or Squires Kitchen

Kind regards
David

Hi jgibb

Shop has been taken down for some technical reasons. Andy will let us know the final decision in due course.

Hi Madeitwithlove, many thanks for your fast answer. Hope all is well for you x

Hi jgibb

You’re very welcome! all is well apart from being knocked over by flu, now recovering!! I want to try the Claire Bowman lace, love that tutorial (love ’em all). I did the carousel cake last week, now trying to learn a wedding cake for a friend’s wedding in September, has to be something simple and the lace cake looks spectacular.
I wish I had the physical stamina to make some of Paul’s other stunning designs. Hope you’re well. x

Hi Madeitwithlove,
you should try the Claire Bowman cake lace, it is a fabulous product and so much cheaper than the first one. It is so easy, you can colour it or you can now buy it coloured. You can buy the kit which has 2 parts a wet and a dry and it is easy to mix or you can buy tubs of ready made.

Her mats are stunning and big enough for one full cake I would think. Some of them are strips such as the lace ones. I bought her snowflake one for Christmas and coloured it red on a white background it was stunning to say the least.

If you look at my business page www.bijou-cakes.co.uk and select the cakes tab then the Christmas cakes you will see it.

As for the flu I would have thought you were eligible for the flu jab, I get mine (asthma) every year and have not had flu once. I hope you take the time to recover properly and get plenty of rest. xx

I’ve has a look at your cakes, they’re stunning! Love the candy cart. You and I have been doing similar Christmas cakes. I see you made the white out, I did the fire place but used the real one to copy. I do have some lace mats, not Bowman but same designs?? they’re pink, very soft and kindda sticky, not the real deal. I’m ordering this week from Cake Decorating company and can’t wait for it all to come. I was hoping they would put out some promo vouchers but nothing doing. I had a look at the Claire Bowman video on youtube and I think I may be able to manage the lace cake. Plenty of time to practice, I would like this to be really nice for her. Ideally would like to do a one to one with Paul, sadly can’t manage it physically.
Can’t do injections for flu, I’m a coward!!

I was also wondering why I can’t find the shop anymore.

Hi MetJewl

All the equipment used in the tutorials can be purchased here http://www.thecakedecoratingcompany.co.uk/catalog/# As mentioned above Andy will inform us with what’s happening.
