The third and final demonstrator for the Gala Day on the 16th September at 2pm is Barbara Luraschi, AKA Sweet Janis, she was born and lives in Como, Italy. She discovered her passion for the sugar art about 9 years ago, her creations have pastel colours and modelling is what she loves most. Her work has been featured in many international magazines, she mainly travels the world teaching face to face modelling classes and entering competitions, wining multiple gold awards for her models.
Have not received any correspondence after joining over 2 months ago as an international member and have not received badges I ordered.
Such a cute model! This would be a fabulous cake topper for anyone currently studying for GCSE’s and A-levels…
