When I first started becoming interested in cake design there was one thing that became apparent to me very quickly on. I love sharp edges on cakes. This super clean look is quite popular in Australia and New Zealand but I hadn't seen it being done here in Ireland until I came across the Facebook page of Cove Cake Design. 

Cove Cake Design is owned by Suzanne Brady and all of Suzanne's designing and baking happens in her own home kitchen in the south of Dublin. 

Contemporary and elegant wedding cake design is how Suzanne describes Cove Cake Design and I couldn't agree more.

I was invited by Decobake to participate in Suzanne's first class earlier this week and couldn't believe my luck. Someone who's work I have admired so much over the last few months and by complete coincidence I got offered a spot on her class. It was also my first ever class so I was delighted my teacher was someone who's work I adore.

The class was run over two days and I can't speak highly enough of it. Suzanne is a fabulous teacher. Her attention to detail is really something to be admired. I learned so much in the class, various tips and tricks that the internet just doesn't tell you. Not only is Suzanne extremely talented at what she does she is also a genuinely lovely person. 

The staff at Decobake couldn't have been nicer too. I was never without a cup of tea in my hand, which can be quite difficult when you're trying to decorate a cake! Alongside the copious amounts of tea they also provided us with a beautiful lunch from their neighbours The Bakehouse and cupcakes they themselves sell.

If you don't already know Cove Cake Design I highly recommend you pay Suzanne's page a visit. Your eyes will thank you! 

As you can see from the photos I liked the cake I made in the class so much that I had to bring it to the park for a quick photo shoot. 

Thanks so much for everything Suzanne.
