I dont know very much about making them other than books I get from library and wondering if there anyone can show me a few things. I cant afford to go to a class as have looked into it. , not that i like going to class situations.

My mum used to belong to the Tauranga Cake Decorators Club (not sure if that was the exact name) they might still be going, someone should know but that was quite a few years ago. She used to make the most amazing sugar flowers, unfortunately she is too old now or she would've been able to help you. There must be a list of all the Tauranga clubs somewhere.

Elsa and Ray can make cakes for you in many flavours and we can supply handmade icing flowers, silk or fresh flowers. We stock a full range of cake decorations, fondant, cake boards, ribbons, candles, etc. For the home decorator we stock cutters, crimpers, chocolate wraps and moulds and embossing and modelling tools. We hire cake tins, cake stands and designer table and floor stands. We offer a mail-order service and accept most bankcards.

I belong to the NZ cake decorating guild, there is a club in Tauranga. If you go along to a meeting you are definitly going to find someone to teach you, I have learnt so much from our meetings, things that no book can teach and the people are always really friendly. Here is the link to the Guild page, scroll down til you find Tauranga. http://www.nzcakeguild.org.nz/branches/branches.htm

Know what you mean by seeing it done in the 'flesh' as it were. Would be only to happy to show and help you, free of charge as I am glad to pass on what I have learnt and yes I do make my own flowers. I am in Te Puke so will have to work out how best to contact you.

hi, when I was first starting out I found the wilton website really good for tips! No- I dont think Elsa teaches how to do the roses- I think she just sells them, and supplies to make them- although i found I bought bunches of supplies when I first started out, and now I use good old ball of fondant or gum paste and glad wrap! hehe. Best of luck- but if you still cant find someone- give me a yell on one of my auctions (I'll be loading more after this weekend) we may be able to meet up- I love showing how to do cake stuff! :-) Fi
