Absolutely love this video. I was asked to do a Lambeth style birthday cake. This video was an absolute godsend, without this I would not have been able to achieve the finish that I did. Full of lots of hints and tips to make things easier especially piping tips and what to use for each pattern. Annabelle explained everything in a way that simplified what seemed so daunting . A great reference to have in the kitchen with you. Great value for money . Thank you

This is definitely one of my top three videos and I am so looking forward to getting my apron on to try out all the tips and techniques which Annabelle presents so expertly! The video gives really clear step-by-step instructions on how to achieve the vintage look, with advice on everything from the best type of icing, colour schemes and essential equipment. As always, Annabelle’s encouraging and engaging style of presentation makes me think I can achieve a Lambeth style cake to be proud of by following her guidance. I have the equipment, so it’s time to start practising!
