The Big Cake Calendar

Sad News

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 20:35:16 +0000

Lorraine and I are deeply saddened to inform you that we decided to cancel her Seattle classes. Unfortunately not enough people have signed up for the classes and we just can’t afford to bring her over from Scotland for just a couple of students.

We plan to reschedule for 2013 and we will let you know as soon as we have settled on a date.

We apologize for this inconvenience and please know that no one is more disappointed than Lorraine, herself! She loves Seattle and is looking forward to a visit soon.

Classes for Lauren will continue as scheduled. Please click here to register.

The Big Cake Calendar is happy to announce that Seattle classes with Lauren Kitchens and Lorraine McKay are open for registration. Classes will be held at the studio of Mike’s Amazing Cakes in Redmond, WA. Lorraine is happy to be returning and Lauren is looking forward to her first classes in the big, beautiful Pacific Northwest! We plan to stuff her so full of delicious seafood that she’ll want to return often.

Lauren will be teaching her signature Character Sculpting 101 class as well as her new Waffle Time class. Lauren is an expert at creating incredible structures and making modeling chocolate do her bidding.

Lorraine is an international superstar who makes the best figures in the business. Join her for her Bride and Groom class and learn to make custom cake toppers that will amaze your customers. She’ll also be teaching a special class on how to do her famous head and hands.

Seal Beach Classes

Mon, 24 Jan 2011 23:32:01 +0000

I know you are all eagerly awaiting more information on the location of the Seal Beach classes. I’m working very hard to negotiate a classroom space at this time and hope to have that information available soon. For those of you looking to book your flights I would recommend you fly into the John Wayne International airport (SNA) or the Long Beach Airport (LGB) for an easier drive. Lorraine and I will be staying in Seal Beach so we will be holding the classes as close to Seal Beach as possible so if you want to make hotel reservations now one of our previous students recommends the Hampton Inn on Seal Beach. Please stay tuned for more information!
