THE Wits South Sugar Guild, Mulbarton, might as well be the cousin of our own Cake Decorating Guild, Gladiola-Botha branch.
Mulbarton residents can have just as much fun decorating cakes as Albertonians! Here people can learn how to make all kinds of icing decorations for cakes, and it doesn’t require any special talent to participate.

CAKE DECORATORS: The room was filled with eager cake decoration enthusiasts.
On Saturday, May 20, another fun workshop was held at Wits South Sugar Guild. About 40 ladies turned up and Helen Pepperel taught them how to make finger filler flowers with “flower paste” (otherwise referred to as sugar paste). Finger filler flowers are edible flowers made by hand to give new life and beauty to an empty cake. Of course, it doesn’t have to be cakes that you decorate – you can use them to beautify whatever your heart desires!
