Q&A – Week 2
As most of our members will be aware, we have a Q&A section on our website, where you can search and ask any cake related questions which may have been troubling you. It is also a place for people who may know a thing or two about cakes, and can offer your own advice, tips and answers to any of your fellow cake decorating members. Sharing is caring of course!
Within the Q&A we have noticed similar questions cropping up here and there, so we thought it would be a good idea to clear some of these questions by asking the experts – Paul and David!
If you have any cake related questions, feel free to pop them onto the Q&A and if you can think of any questions that you would like Paul and David to answer, then feel free to drop us an email at [email protected] and hopefully your question will appear in one of our Q&A videos in the near future!
