‘My craft is my art’
Established in 1981 by sugarcrafters for cake decorating enthusiasts everywhere…
The British Sugarcraft Guild is a non-profit organisation dedicated to the promotion of cake decorating and sugarcraft. Members include hobby cake makers, home bakers, specialist retailers, manufacturers, and renowned sugarcraft professionals.
With the motto “my craft is my art”, the Guild’s aims are to:
Promote and stimulate interest in sugarcraft
Develop talent
Share knowledge
Improve standards
Our SouthwestcornwallBsg branch held a fab, just for fun, challenge - decorate a cake for Mother’s Day in an hour…
The cakes were judged by the manager of a local nursing home and the cakes donated to the residents! Such a lovely idea, it&rsq#mothersdayt#SundayShareersD#mycraftismyart!

Celebrating my grandsons 20th (5th) birthday. Did make top hat cakes for home. 🎂
We’ve been looking through the chats in our private members group The Sugarcraft Lounge*over the last month and this one stood out. It definitely made us go “wow”!
How many of us have a well thumbed recipe book with pages stuck together, food splashed all over and falling apart at the seams?**This book has been in regular use for 40 years and its lovely owner was looking to see if anyone had a spare copy🤞🏻she finds one!
*To join us in the lounge for cake chat you’ll need to be a member of the guild. You can find your nearest branch or join as an individual members online at www.bsguk.org
**hmmm… those last two points could describe quite a few cake makers too!

Today is #LoveYourPetDay - hands up if you’ve ever tried to make your pet out of cake? Here’s one attempt, show us yours! 🐾 ... See MoreSee Less
Not my pet but a friend asked me to reproduce her Guinea pig in cake, then she couldn’t eat it. 🤣
I did make a Tess took me hours, sadly damp finally got to her, a project to do maybe. xx
💕Julia Child’s said it best, “romance is the icing, but love is the cake”. 💕
What’s your go to cake that symbolises love the most to you? We like a rich chocolate fudge cake… mainly because the smell of it baking brings everyone in the house racing down to the kitchen in the hope of licking the bowl clean!

Thank you so much for sharing. Happy Valentine's 🥰💖
Today is all about the pancake... sweet or savoury? American or British? Traditional sugar and lemon or lashings of chocolate sauce? To flip or not to flip? Do you go all out and create cool designs in them? Should you eat them for every meal? Choose wisely dear friends...
If you've ever made a real cake look like a stack of pancakes we'd love to see! And in answer to the age old question “What's the best pancake topping?" it's simple... MORE pancakes!

Who is toady?!! 🤷🏼♀️
We love our members and the support they give each other. One of our aims is to “share knowledge” and sometimes it’s not about swapping recipes or sugarcraft skills but the little things.
Over in our private member’s group The Sugarcraft Lounge this was a top tip ⬇️ and it got better, with others adding that wiping tubes with a damp cloth will leach the colour and that vanish soap is the best for cleaning colouring off hands!

What a brilliant idea 🤗
Hi everyone. In South Africa we have a bath soap by Lux. (Brand name) that removes colouring ftom hands too. It is also gentler than Vanish. The Vanish we get here is rather harsh on the hands.
#SundayShare and a big shout out to 4 year old Cygnet 🦢 member, Chloe who has shared her first decorated cake! Well done Chloe, it’s beautiful 😍
We have Cygnet groups across the country for under 18’s. Check out our website for more info www.bsguk.orgSo proud of her first decorated cake…and so she should be! She only joined The British Sugarcraft Guild a few months ago and at 4yrs of age she’s most certainly got a talent! Well done Chloe on your first masterpiece! 👏 🌟

Such sad news from a fantastic cake supplier. We wish everyone involved all the best with whatever the future holds.Its with a very heavy heart that we announce that our beloved business Windsor Craft has gone into liquidation as of 31st January 2024.
We are absolutely heartbroken that we were unable to ride the storm of the current climate and have put everything we possibly could into the business to try and protect it.
Unfortunately it does seem to be a sad sign of the times with small businesses struggling to make ends meet with constant rises in costs from suppliers and overheads just being too much to cover with such small margins. Any business owner will know that struggling with your business is financially, mentally and emotionally draining and we really have been through a rough time which has ultimately led to us closing the doors.
Over the years we have had so many happy times and I will carry the memories that i've had with this company, and all of the staff involved, for the rest of my life.
I would like to personally thank our loyal customers that have been shopping with us over the years and our amazing team of staff who I have literally grown up with over the past 14 years. Today was one of the hardest days that i've ever experienced.
At the moment, im going to take a breath and have some time to look after my two young girls who need their mum.
Please keep an eye on our page for any further updates, if you have a collection order with us we will be in touch to arrange delivery or collection of your order.
If you have any enquiries at all please message us on here and I will answer the best I can. Our shop will remain closed and our phones and website will be offline.
Thank you again,
Olivia x

To celebrate #chocolatecakeday we want to know what the perfect filling for a luscious rich chocolate cake is, and who better to ask than our fabulous @followers.
If the choice is yours, do you layer up your cake with light and fluffy chocolate buttercream (hit ‘like’ to vote) or a smooth, silky, chocolate ganache (hit ‘love’ to vo#mycraftismyartg#sugar

I've always been a 'both' girl.... each layer gets a coating of chocolate ganache ( which fortifies the chocolatey-ness of the cake) topped with a Swiss meringue buttercream that be infused with whatever puree, toasted nut, liquor etc desired.
I usually go for a salted caramel buttercream or chocolate coffee ganache 😋😋
