Surf's Up - take an online class. What about cake decorating?
If you were inspired by our last blog, perhaps you should have a go yourself. And you can do it all from the comfort of your own home by taking online classes.
If you want to get a handle on designing handbag cakes, complete with divots and pleats or genuine looking zippers, rivets and buckles from sugar paste you could try Elisa Strauss.
Or perhaps sugar flowers are your thing. No, these are not real flowers!
Then Nicholas Lodge is your man. He'll soon have you crafting tulips, anemones and peonies.
But then again, you may prefer characters showcasing someone's career or hobby.
Then Anne Heap runs an online class just for you. You'll learn how to colour and work with gum paste, model human figures and position them, as well as accessorising their hair and clothes.
So what are you waiting for? And of course, if the worst comes to the worst, you can at least console yourself with some cake!
Do let us know how you get on if you decide to have a go and of course post your photos of the finished article. We'd love to see them.
What a fabulous idea for all of us out there who would love to learn a new craft in their homes. I'll definitely be checking out one of these courses to learn some new skills, even if it's just for making cakes for family and friends.
