About the course
My legendary “pick up and wear” guitar cake has helped countless decorators create jaw-droppingly realistic edible instruments—but times (and budgets) have changed. So I’ve designed a one-off, more accessible class that still delivers serious wow-factor: a sculpted amp cake with a hyper-realistic guitar resting on top. This class is taught through pre-recorded videos, so you can learn at your own pace. And if you book before 31st October, you’ll unlock exclusive access to a live Zoom Q&A the week after launch. That means you can: 🎥 Watch the videos and ask Dawn your questions afterward 🎸 Make along with the class and get real-time feedback You’ll choose from three guitar shapes, and while the kit is included free with your booking, shipping costs are separate. This is a one-time opportunity to learn how to sculpt, stack, and style a cake that truly rocks—without breaking the bank.
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!
