The PET Project's sugarcraft students have come to the end of their term with some newly-acquired skills, friendship and the creation of 55 individually decorated Christmas cakes that will be the pride of many Pembrokeshire homes this festive season. The sugarcraft courses, made available by Pembrokeshire College's PET Project, aim to teach the art of designing and making cake decorations. When tutor Gill Pearce set the task this autumn term to produce Christmas themed cakes, she didn't envisage the degree of class enthusiasm. It led to an astounding 30 kilos of sugar paste and 30 kilos of marzipan being used through the nine courses in Pembrokeshire - that's almost nine stone of materials - to create 55 cakes. "The true versatility of the course is evident as designs ranging from reindeers to robins, and sleighs to Santa have been made," commented PET Project co-ordinator, Janet Davies. The PET Project is funded by the European Social Fund under Objective One and provides free courses around the county. This term, sugarcraft courses have been held in Manorbier Parish Hall, Cosheston Village Hall, Llangwm Village Hall and the Jugglers Family Centre. "All that remains now is for someone to start eating all of those cakes," added Janet Davies. New sugarcraft courses focusing on the art of creating flowers will begin around the county in January.
