What a wet week it’s been but there’s light at the end - maybe not from the sun but all those in our England North region get the opportunity to meet tomorrow, catch up with cakey friends, shape their region and they even get a demo thrown in for good measure!

#ThrowbackThursday Have you heard of kanzashi? Japanese hair ornaments made from layers of folded cloth used to form flowers. Kanzashi were first used in Japan during the Jōmon period c. 14,000 and 300 BC! We’re not going back that far though - just a mere six years to when the Milton Keynes branch were taught kanzashi in sugar by Margaret Baldry.
It’s got us thinking about what other crafting skills have been adapted to work #mycraftismyartC#sugarcraft #sugarc#cake#Sugar #Cake

I wish I could, fantastic class.
We've hundreds of members across GB&I and overseas - some make a living from their sugarcraft skills, others work in the industry but many are "just hobby cakers" (we think there's no, "just" about it, it's the best hobby ever!)
We're run by our members, for our members with lots of brilliant people donating a little (or a lot!) of their time.
This #MembershipMonday we thought it would be good to show the faces that make a difference and what better place to start than with our Honorary President, Cecilia Young - a member of our Edinburgh branch she's also our Caledonia Area Coordinator and is a fantastic advocate for the guild. Her two year term as President will come to an end at our AMM in a few weeks. Thank you for all you do Cecilia! 🥰

I’ve recently moved to Worcester and previously saw a BSG group in Droitwich. Now I can’t find it. Is there a group near Worcester?
