With Kirstie Allsopp inspiring even the youngest bakers to have a go at cake decorating, ICHF Events, together with the Cake Craft and Decoration Magazine and the British Sugarcraft Guild, will inspire you, at the biggest and best Cake International show to date. Taking place at the NEC, Birmingham from the 5-6-7 November, this newly extended three-day event will offer advice, materials and ideas for creating your very own masterpieces.

With over 90 exhibitors selling all the latest cake decorating supplies and products it will be the biggest show ever staged. Whether a beginner or an expert sugarcraft artist, there is something for everyone with an array of cutters, moulds, hand tools, stencils, sugarpaste, ribbons and much more!

Demonstrations will be available throughout each day of the show (full booking details at www.ichf.co.uk) with demonstrators from both home and abroad offering advice and ideas.

This year’s international demonstrators include Jem Cutters from South Africa, MS Products from Brazil; Fiesta Cakes, Cakes n Supplies by Ximena and Cake Connection, all from the USA; CI Rosgar EU from Columbia and Marcela Capo from Argentina.

This year’s international guest, Alan Tetreault from the USA, will show how you can create your own fantasy ‘mixed media’ flowers in his ‘Sparkling Flowers’ demonstration. Make flowers out of gelatine or traditional gumpaste petals and create your very own Garden of Eden!

With cakes fit for a King, Paul Bradford from Truly Scrumptious, one of the many brilliant demonstrators from the UK, will reveal why his cakes are loved by royalty and celebrities alike. Paul will exhibit his Dragon Cake creation that epitomises the detail in his work and includes sparkle candles coming out of the nostrils!

Other UK demonstrators include Ann Pickard, who will show beginners how to use simple modelling techniques; Steven Kirkby will let your imagination run wild with his class on making Faberge style sugar eggs; Lindy Smith will demonstrate the art of contemporary cupcake decorating and Georgie Godbold will teach you how to create your very own Christmas ‘Wobblies’!
