Last Thursday, 10 aspiring Ballet Figurine Sugar Artists welcomed Grace Stevens to Johannesburg where she presented her Ballerina Figurine Class.  It is always a pleasure to be taught by Grace as she fills every moment of her classes with her remarkable talent, which she shares with carefree abandon, as well as her wacky sense of  humour and her genuine passion for her craft. I must be honest I did have a sense of trepidation when I saw Grace’s beautifully balanced ballerina in her advert for her class and I was nervous that my figurine might end up a rather a dying sugar creation crying into her tutu rather than the sweet graceful sugar figurine pretty enough to grace a cake!  We need not have worried as Grace patiently and expertly showed us how to create a standing sugar figurine in this class and we all went home rather proud of our petite creations.

Thank you Grace once again for travelling to Johannesburg to share your invaluable skills with us, we can’t wait to see you again!
