Hi Jonathan, what a bittersweet story!!! Sorry to hear about your loss!! Losing a parent is always very difficult and heartbreaking, but I am sure your dad is keeping an eye on you and is very proud of all your achievements!!!
You are right, there are not a lot of course in Malta for aspiring Cake Decorators. Edward Calleja used to give courses on cake decorating. He learned the cake decorating art when he was living in England. I took a basic, intermediate and advanced course with him a long long time ago, (in the 1990’s) but I don’t think he is teaching any more as he is retired now. I learned the basics from him and them with the help of books and later internet and a lot of practice I started widening my techniques. I am still very green where modelling is concerned and I still have to make my first human 3d figure (I am afraid to try it), but tutorials on the internet are a great help.
Have you checked ITS maybe they have some courses on cake decorating if you are interested. Mind you , not that you need much help, you cakes are lovely and you painting on cakes is superb!!
