About the course

For years, this class was my best-kept secret—taught only face-to-face, with a handmade kit that was as exclusive as it was expensive. But now, I’m opening the vault. In this online version, you’ll learn how to create a jaw-dropping, rotating record player or DJ deck cake using just a few everyday ingredients, basic tools, and one clever high street item. Inside the course, you’ll discover: 💿 How to safely insert simple mechanics into your cake 💿 Techniques for layering, ganaching, and smoothing like a pro 💿 Tips for neat covering and realistic, retro-inspired finishes The kit is not included in this course.

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!
