re: What skills would you like to improve?

Many thanks Carol, I do enjoy painting and have already done a couple of classes and another couple coming up. How wonderful about your talented aunt. Yes you must ask her and get practising onto old boards covered in left over fondant. It’s all about being inspired, looking closely at what you are painting and also lots and lots of practise. Xxxx
This is a great discussion and one things for sure we all are on a continuous learning curve as new styles and trends come into the confectionery arena. I’m constantly inspired by all the styles, techniques, designs and trends from everyone. That’s why I love coming here.
I would very much like to learn how to work with royal icing (like stringwork etc) and also buttercream designing (flowers etc).

You must never limit your challenges, instead you must challenge your limits
