OUR BIRTHDAY!

We are proud to announce that on Wednesday 29th May 2013, it will be our 2nd Anniversary!

 

Although we have been in the cake business for over 13 years, Sugar and Ice of Shaw was created back in 2011.

 

Since it's conception, the business has grown and gone from strength to strength.  This is purely down to experimentation and lots of practice! We are extremely proud of it's success and would like to take this opportunity to thank all our customers, old and new.

 

Originally, Sugar and Ice of Shaw was created to offer just celebration cakes and cupcakes, but six months into the business, we started offering Children's Cupcake Parties.  Twelve months after that, we commenced Cupcake Classes in Shaw town centre.  We are very passionate about our parties and classes, please click on the tabs at the top of this page to see what we have to offer.  They are so much fun and excellent value for money.

 

We are having an "Open Day" on our birthday to celebrate - there will be free tea/coffee and cupcakes to try.  We will also be offering free pens and sticky note pads! If you would like to come along, please feel free. We are opening our doors 11am - 2pm, Wednesday 29th May.  For enquiries relating to our Open Day or any other matter, please call or text 07761 501214.  You can also reach us on Facebook:

Easter Cupcake Class

We held our legendary CUPCAKE CLASS at Lucia's Coffee Shop and Ice-Cream Parlour today, Saturday 30th March 2013.

 

Our classes cover the basics on covering your cupcakes with fondant and buttercream, along with instructions on how to craft flowers and models using coloured sugarpaste.

 

Today's class had an "Easter" theme, so our buttercream was chocolate and lime flavour.  Delicious! We also included Cadbury mini-eggs to sprinkle and Easter paper banners!

 

Our classes are open to everyone from age 6 and over.  Tickets are just £15 per person and include 4 cupcakes to decorate and keep.  There is free car parking just minutes away and also free refreshments in the cafe downstairs.

 

Today, in our 2 hour class, we taught:

 

Effective buttercream techniques

Hatching Chick designs

Bunny Rabbit designs

Painting edible easter eggs

Flower designs

Class member, Megan tries out our chick design

 

Next, we move onto the bunny rabbit escaping into his warren

 

We add the finishing touches to our bunny face on another design

 

 





And finally add a carrot!

Professional Photography

We were recently contacted by a local business, Sharon Graham Photography.

Sharon wanted to know if we would be interested in having a photoshoot!

Her rates were very reasonable, so we jumped at the opportunity.

Here are some of the beautiful images which Sharon created last weekend.  Please "double click" each image to see them in greater detail.

 

We think they are incredible and we will certainly be contacting Sharon again in the future.

Children's Cupcake Parties

Our legendary "Children's Cupcake Parties" catering for ages 5 upwards.  We accept parties of as little as 3 children or a maximum of 10!  We will travel to areas within Oldham, Rochdale and Tameside. 

What could be better than a party in the comfort of your own home - you need to do nothing as we do EVERYTHING and look after your little ones for over 2 hours!  We also have a "NO MESS GUARANTEED" promise; we use tablecloths, mats, aprons and we even bring cleaning utensils with us!

Please contact us to book - but hurry, spaces are limited and we tend to book up very quickly!  Even if your child's birthday is later this year or even next year, it's wise to book your slot TODAY!

Valentine's Cupcake Class

Our class held on Saturday 2nd February was a great success :-)

Tickets were sold very quickly and we have also sold out for next Saturday (9th February).

We arrived early to set up ready for our customers.  We laid out the boxes of cupcakes, sprinkles, tools and aprons.

We had 9 ladies and 1 gentleman to teach on the day itself.  We commenced by demonstrating how to pipe buttercream swirls.  Then we taught how to make simple roses and hearts.  The group then enjoyed a refreshment break downstairs, after which we taught (in depth) how to make a professional rose from sugarpaste.

The feedback received were excellent and some of the class are already enquiring about our next one!

The cupcakes shown above, are examples of the style and type of decoration taught on the class.
