About the Author

In 2000, Sandra Monger left her job as a Registered Nurse to follow her life-long passion for baking and cake decoration. She undertook the NVQ Level 2 City and Guilds Catering and Hospitality course at the City of Bath College in 2000, which lead on to studying the Awarding Body Consortium Pastry Cook and Patissiers Level 3 (Advanced) course the following year. Subsequently she studied an array of sugarcraft courses under the tutelage of sugarcraft guru Stephen Benison, and in 2002 established her own business, called Sandra Monger Exquisite Wedding and Occasion Cakes. Sandra went on to become the City of Bath's leading wedding and celebration cake designer and the recommended supplier to some of the leading venues in the South West.

Not content to keep her skills to herself, Sandra gained a number of teaching qualifications and began teaching sugarcraft at Wiltshire College in 2007. Since 2008 she has designed and run a range of popular sugarcraft and cake decoration courses at the City of Bath College as well as running her own successful business. In 2012, Sandra was named Celebration Cake Maker of the Year at the British Baking Industry Awards.
