Dawn Butler Dinkydoodle Cake Academy and assistant Lynette Caseabeir

Meet the Creators

So whilst Dawn is the face behind the camera on the tutorials -  the Dinkydoodle Advent wouldn't be what it is without the Amazing Lynette behind the scenes making all of the magic happen.  From creating and sending the daily emails to writing quizzes and competitions.  She even makes sure all of the videos are uploaded in time for you to watch them!  ( Did you know that she does all of this with a specific Christmas play list every year! and work starts on the advent as early as August! )   The Christmas advent was originally started as a fun way for Dawn to publish lots of tutorials that she had in the vault and had never gotten around to publishing, but its now become a firm favourite with everyone who look forward to watching the daily tutorials to joining in the quizzes and competitions.  I hope you enjoy watching it as much as Lynette and Dawn enjoy creating it for you.

What People Are Saying

Join the merry band of cake makers who are loving the Dinkydoodle Advent Calendar experience.

”
Honestly I had an absolute ball taking part in the Christmas advent last year. It was my first time taking part and I really didn’t expect there to be so much content. Dawn just has a natural talent for this stuff, she genuinely wants to help everyone and she does. If you love baking and you love Christmas then you’ll definitely love the Christmas Advent x
Debbie

 

”
I highly recommend purchasing the 2025 Dinkydoodle Christmas Advent Calendar course. I have purchased past Dinkydoodle Christmas Advent Calendars and have loved every one of them. You will be taught by one of the world's best cake decorators, Dawn Butler, who makes cake decorating easy. So take the plunge and purchase this reasonably priced Christmas Advent Calendar; you won’t be disappointed.

”
What more could you ask for from Santa in the lead up to Christmas than a tutorial from the amazing Dawn every day of December. Why is advent only 24 days?
Dale 

 

”
I love the Christmas advent the most. It is always fun loaded to the brim with information and tutorials. My Christmas cake is always one from the Chris adventure and my family are always super impressed
Maria

This is my first year with Dawn, I joined the cake academy after attending Magic Month. I couldn’t let go of all the knowledge, wisdom, skill & talent and all delivered in such a friendly, helpful understanding way and always with a smile plus lots of laughs. I can’t wait for Dawn’s Advent, I just know it will be amazing. Christmas is my favourite time, I love the clothes that make me look like a human glitter ball & hopefully this year, with Dawn’s Advent, I’ll have edible cakes & treats to match. Join up & lets bring out our inner Christmas divas 🤩x
