A Sharing Site for the Sugar Enthusiast
Information on Candy Making & Cake Decorating
in a Variety of Techniques & Mediums



This website is being revised due to issues with the present program.  A new program is going to be used.  Many changes need to be made in the different articles and pages of this website.  I am trying to have this site up and running by February 1, 2012.



Certification Class to Teach the
Shavkin Style of Puffed Embroidery and Decorating with Tools


I do not want to travel long distances to teach especially to travel by plane.
Therefore, I am teaching courses in this technique so that others will know all the rules and be qualified to teach.
Students receive a diploma/certificate and the initials CSPET (Certified Shavkin Puffed Embroidery Teacher).
I developed and innovated this "Puffed Embroidery" technique in 1984.

Since one of the main problems is uploading pics using this present, messed-up, computer program that used to work beautifully prior to getting this new computer, I am unable to show you pics of what the class contains.  For updated information and pictures, please email me at dshavkin@optonline.net

There will be a course the weekend of:
     December 16, 17 and 18
January 6, 7, and 8 - FULL
February 10, 11 and 12

The January class is now full.

This class is jammed-packed with lots of rules and information on the Shavkin style of decorating and on Diane Shavkin's innovated "Puffed Embroidery" techniques that she developed in 1984. Please check out her website: www.shavkin.com for pictures and/or email Diane for pictures and more detailed information of this class.
.
The class is ideal for future teaching as each student will receive a certification to teach this style and a diploma. The methods are good for decorating cakes, cupcake decorating and cookie decorating. Fondant cutouts using these methods may be used for cake decorations. Tooth picks may be put inside of the fondant cutouts in order for the decorative pieces to be stuck into cakes and cupcakes so they stand in an upright position. Ideal for enhancing your cookie bouquets. Just contact Diane for cookie bouquet pictures.
