Recognised for her exquisite attention to detail and eye for colour Lindy has been translating her designs into sugarcraft for many years.

In 1998 she started writing regular features for "Cakes and Sugarcraft Magazine". Her first cake decorating book was published in 2000. She has continued to write books ever since, loving the freedom it gives her to be highly creative and original.

Lindy runs a successful company, Lindy's Cakes Ltd, based in Shropshire, UK. She teaches sugarcraft at regular workshops throughout the year and continues to write about sugarcraft on a regular basis.
