The British Sugarcraft Guild was inaugurated officially on 17th March 1981 with the first meeting of the steering committee. Their backgrounds varied but these enthusiastic cake decorators were united firmly by their love of the art of sugarcraft.
With a swan and its reflection as a logo a Newsletter for new members and its motto 'My Craft is my Art' the British Sugarcraft Guild was born.
The aims and objectives of the Guild are to:
* Promote and stimulate interest in sugarcraft;
* Share knowledge;
* Develop talent;
* Improve standards.
There are 136 branches throughout the country. Most meet on a regular basis and it's a way to meet new and old friends. In addition to meeting people, most branches invite a demonstrator to come along and demonstrate a number of skills or tasks. It's a great way to learn new skills and techniques and learn tips and tricks to make your hobby more enjoyable. Who knows you may even want to get up and do a demonstration yourself - you could be that inspired!
