Get arty with an Airbrush

Airbrushing cakes was once only used by professionals, however as time has gone on the tool has become much more popular with home decorators. The airbrush can be used to colour cakes and sugar flowers and can be used with stencils, the set can be used with a range of edible colours which our team in store will be happy to give you advice on the best type for you. The airbrush pictured can be purchased in stores for £60.00, other airbrush and compressors can be ordered in store too.

Sugar & Ice cake decorating courses include, cupcake decorating, basic cake decorating, making sugar flowers, modelling and much more. The courses are open to any level of experience, we also run children’s cake decorating courses in stores. Whether you would like to book a specific course day, a 1-to-1 class or purchase course gift vouchers, you can see more information here or pop in store to book your places.

Superb Cake Steamer

OK, so we’ll admit, steaming cakes sound’s a little strange, but the handy lightweight steamer can add a little extra shine to your creations and in particular bring black fondant back to life! It’s an easy to use tool, just be careful not to over steam as you icing can melt under the heat. The steamer can be used to steam both cakes and sugar flowers to bring out the colours from dusting the edges. We’ve popped in a quick video of our team steaming flowers within this blog too. The steamer is available in both stores for you to purchase at just £27.75, you can see the video here.

Give the Gift of Vouchers

If you’re not too sure what you’d like to buy from this list or have far too many options to choose from, you can purchase Sugar & Ice gift vouchers in store and online, they’re available in multiples of £5 and can be used against anything in store, including course bookings, icing, and equipment!

Handmade by You

Christmas cakes make such wonderful gifts, especially when you’ve taken the time to decorate it yourself, at Sugar & Ice you can buy everything you need to create your own Christmas cake, including fruitcake bases, marzipan, icing and a wide range of edible and non-edible decorations. If you don’t fancy decorating the cake yourself, you can ask our team to create a Christmas cake for you. Pop in store or send us a message for more information.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas from all at Sugar & Ice, we look forward to seeing you soon!
