About the course

Whether you're just starting out or already sculpting showpieces, this class is designed to meet you where you are—and take your skills to the next level. From beginner bakers to seasoned cake artists, everyone will walk away with new techniques, confidence, and a gravity-defying golf bag cake that turns heads. You’ll begin by assembling a sturdy internal structure, learning how to support the unique shape with ease. Then, you’ll stack, fill, and ganache your cake with precision—setting the stage for smooth coverage and clean lines. As the design unfolds, you’ll master how to cover complex curves and add realistic details like zippered pockets, seams, and stitching. To finish, you’ll craft edible golf clubs that fit perfectly into your sculpted bag, adding that final touch of sporty sophistication. With step-by-step guidance from Dawn Butler and the magic of Dinkydoodle kits, you’ll gain the skills to create bold, professional-looking cakes—whether it’s your first time working with structure or your hundredth. This is more than a cake class—it’s a creative adventure for every level of decorator. So grab your kit, bring your imagination, and let’s build something unforgettable.

Meet your Mentor

Hello, I’m Dawn Butler, the name behind Dinkydoodle. As a world-renowned cake artist and teacher, I’ve dedicated my career to inspiring and supporting cake makers of all levels. Over the years, I’ve earned multiple gold medals in cake competitions, and in 2016, I proudly took home the highly coveted “Best in Show” prize at Cake International. I was also honoured as International “Cake Artist of the Year,” named one of the UK’s “Top Ten Cake Artists.”   More recently in 2024, I was inducted into the DMA’s Hall of Fame for my contributions to the sugar industry. But what I’m most proud of is the community we’ve built inside the Dinkydoodle Cake Academy.   Here’s something you might not know about me: I have dyslexia and ADHD. While some might see these as obstacles, I use them as superpowers. They help me break down complex techniques into their simplest forms, making it easier for anyone to follow along and achieve amazing results. You may spot the occasional spelling mistake, but I believe in being upfront and honest, and my students are always wonderfully supportive. If you’ve ever doubted your own abilities, or worried that learning something new might be out of reach, you’re in the right place. The Academy is a safe, encouraging space for everyone, myself included! I share my skills, expertise, and a good dose of fun, helping you build your confidence and creativity, one cake at a time. I can’t wait to see what you create!
