  Michelle marked the release of the record "English-American" with a sweet twist by creating an edible vinyl record player entirely made out of chocolate sponge cake.  The piece was complete with a rotating mechanism and even featured edible vinyl records made of chocolate. To add an extra touch of realism, Michelle added a Bluetooth speaker to play the actual record. A sweet tribute to music and confectionery art.

 Emmerdale, one of the long-running British soap operas, is celebrating its 50th anniversary this October with a dramatic teaser trailer incorporating the latest in 3D printing technology, motion-control camera shots and a real cake by Michelle of Michelle Sugar Art. The brief from the art director was to create an edible miniature set of the drama series including the famous Woolpack pub, the woods and many iconic scenes. This giant set was sculpted out of slabs of vanilla sponge cake covered with fondant and then applied colour. To really capture the scene Michelle's got pretty creative by using chocolate flakes for the trees, rice crispies cereals to create texture, and shredded wheat to replicate a stack of hay bales.

  Wicked Themed Birthday Cake Celebrating Christine's 40th Birthday, Michelle drew inspiration from the Wicked The Musical main stage. She started by sculpting the victorian sponge cake in the shape of the grandfather clock. Later, the dragon sugar figurine is added at the top and decorated with edible mechanical cogs out of sugar paste. Michelle also created two sugar models from the show's main characters Elphaba and Glinda. This 'wicked' cake is illuminated using colour-changing LED lights behind the translucent clock facias.

Normandy Food Tour is coming to Hastings, Windsor, Colchester, Norwich and Canterbury from 28th April to  1st May 2022. These are key towns in southern England that hold particular resonance for Normandy, they all have a Norman cathedral or castle and are within easy reach of transport links to Normandy.  The aim of the tour is to remind people of our shared history with Normandy, showcase Normandy’s amazing food and drink with the local public, and remind people how easy it is to get to the lovely region of Normandy.  The PR team asked Michelle to create a show-stopping Instagrammable moment for this tour. The concept is to recreate the famous Bayeux Tapestry made out of the delicatessen from Normandy such as butter and jams. @michellesugarart Recreating historic Bayeux Tapestry from of butter and jam celebrating festival of food from Normandy in Hastings. ♬ La Vie en rose - Edith Piaf
