About

The Botanical Cake Studio was founded by cake artist Clare Margary. An ex-chef trained in Professional Cookery and Patisserie & Confectionery. In 2012 Clare created her own side-line venture, Little Bear Cakery. Having baked from a young age, the move into cakes was a natural progression for Clare. After growing the business alongside her pastry chef position, she finally quit the day job in 2015 to go full-time with Little Bear Cakery.

A Passion For Sugar Flowers

Over the past 10 years, Clare has found her true passion in creating incredibly lifelike sugar flowers.  During this time she has developed her own unique techniques which she now teaches as part of The Botanical Cake Studio. 2020 saw the launch of her brand new garden studio where students can learn from Clare in person in either one-to-one or group classes. She also has a series of online tutorials and courses to make her teaching accessible to all.

Accessibility For All

Clare is a firm believer in providing free content for her followers alongside the paid classes in the online school. She runs a closed Facebook group with weekly tips and support to a worldwide following as well as an ever-growing YouTube channel which features regular tutorials and tips. Keep an eye on the blog too for longer articles with more tips, tutorials and product recommendations.

A Warm Welcome!

Whether you are a complete novice, or a cake designer in your own right looking to develop your skills, The Botanical Cake Studio is a space where all levels are welcome. Clare looks forward joining you on your sugar flower journey.
