Exciting times at The Cake Workshop
The Cake Workshop is where our classes are held in Cumbria and it really is a workshop as we are busy creating fabulous cake designs and classes for all of our new students.
Since launching the classes in May we've run a number of our old tried and tested classes but we've also been working hard on writing even more classes to add to our calendar. We're also busy arranging guest teachers to join us at the Workshop so that we have a class to offer everyone.
After a quiet summer we're very exciting to launch in to our September classes this week. First off is our most popular class the Cupcake Basics Class. This class is the first class that we ever ran back in 2009. It has remained popular and we haven't ever changed to format because our students have always created stunning results.
The beginners buttercream class will also be making 2 more appearances in September which we're really looking forward to after the success of the first class.
Most exciting though is the 4 days we have booked with Dawn from Dinkydoodle Designs. Dawn is travelling up from Nottingham to spend 4 days with us to share her amazing skills and knowledge. Dawn is a leading expert in airbrushing, cake carving and sugarveil and she has agreed to run a class on all 3!!
So far we have students travelling from Sheffield and Glasgow for her courses and we're sure that it will be worth the trip.
If you are thinking of travelling for any of our classes we're always happy to help you out with finding accommodation. Cumbria is a beautiful county and our little piece of it is no exception.
To book any of our classes you can go online, visit us on our Facebook page or email us via the website.

Hello Cumbria
Well, we finally launched in Cumbria in May 2012..we have stunning new premises at Warwick Mill near Carlisle and we are starting to feel at home in the new office.
Our classes started in May and, as before in Milton Keynes, we are delighted that we are meeting some fabulous students who not only have loads of talent but are lovely people to spend time with. We were so lucky in MK and weren't sure it would happen again so thank you Cumbria for the warm welcome.
With the launch of the new website and the new name for our class venue - The Cake Workshop we have also launched some new classes. It's been an exciting time and we have so much more planned.
The first of our new classes was launched today with 5 lovely ladies attending our beginners piping class. We wanted to introduce people to the wonders of piping and show them what is achievable in a relatively short space of time.
These ladies all had very limited experience of piping (some none at all) and their results were simply stunning. In 4 hours they covered their cakes, piped starts, dots, roses and a beautiful petal design around the edge of their cakes. Take a look at the piccies and see what you think.

Well it's all change at MWB
We've been a bit quiet for a while and for that we can only apologise....in December 2011 the business was relocated from Milton Keynes to the beautiful countryside of Cumbria (we'll be opening a new venue for our classes at Warwick Bridge near Carlisle in April 2012).
We were very sad to leave Milton Keynes behind us because over the years we've had so many fabulous students on our classes, many of whom we classed as new friends. We are hoping though to keep some classes going in the area but this will take a bit of time to organise from a distance.
Mums Who Bake is really not just a brand name - Vicki really is a Mum Who Bakes and so sometimes things may take a little longer due to the demands of a busy family (3 children and 1 on the way...next week!!). We are very excited though about relaunching the business and can't wait to have the new online shop, class timetable and, hopefully, retail outlet up and running this spring.
We're also looking forward to meeting our new customers in the North West. We're going to be located less than an hour from Carlisle & Newcastle and only an hour and a half from Edinburgh and Glasgow. Our class prices will remain competitive and we hope to be adding even more classes including a full day class that incorporates baking the cupcakes aswell as decorating them.
In the meantime we've been busy researching new ideas and products and look forward to making more announcements over the next few weeks.

Cupcake Madness
Well, it's been a while since we lasted posted about our classes and for that we can only apologise!! It seems that, despite the prediction that cupcakes were last years news, cupcakes are still going strong and are classes are busier than ever.
We've had some fabulous classes this year and met some more wonderful people all keen to learn how to decorate cupcakes.
Although we've noticed that there is more competition popping up teaching cupcake decorating we're delighted that our reputation has spread far and wide and people are still coming to us as they know that they are guaranteed a great morning (or afternoon) out, some good company, to learn some new skills and 12 delicious cupcakes to eat and all at a very reasonable price. Last weeks class had 6 people attending and all 6 had booked a place based on personal recommendation!! Now you can't get much better than that!
We firmly believe that these classes should be accessible to everyone and we try to keep out costs down so that it's great value for money.
Although our standard cupcake class is still the most popular class that we run we do still offer the Cupcakes for Kids (for the parents) class which takes a look at making some more fun cupcakes that both kids and adults will love. Our next class is running on Saturday 25th June at our office near Milton Keynes. You will find details on our website - Mums Who Bake
We're off to bake now but we'll be back to let you know how this weeks classes go :o)

Christmas Courses - HO HO HO!!
We held our first Christmas Cupcakes Class of 2010 on Saturday. What fun!! Everyone got into the spirit by wearing a Christmas hat and Christmas tunes were softly playing in the background.
Although it's still a little bit early to be getting into the full Christmas spirit I have to say that the course did feel quite special. Everyone decorated some wonderful cupcakes and I can only imagine the delight on the faces of their families when they got home.
Cupcakes are so quick and easy to make (we'll give you a recipe on the course and as much help as we can!!) and they make such a wonderful gift.
There are always people at Christmas who you would really like to give a gift to but struggle to know what to buy. A box of homemade seasonal cupcakes not only looks great and tastes divine but also shows that you care enough to take the time to make something special.
So why not book on to one of the remaining courses and come along and learn a new skill or just gather some new ideas!!
At the moment we have places left on the following classes;
Saturday 27th November 9.30-12.30pm - available for a group booking
Saturday 4th December 3-6pm - available for a group booking
We look forward to seeing you
Vicki @ MWB x
ps Here's a sneak preview of some of the cakes the students made on Saturday!! Amazing aren't they?
