The British Sugarcraft Guild

The British Sugarcraft Guild is a group of people who share a common interest in Sugarcraft and Cake Decorating. They now have their own web site www.bsguk.org. Their aims and objectives are to:

promote and stimulate interest in Sugarcraft as an art form

share knowledge

develop talent

improve standards

The BSG was formed in 1981. A Swan and it's reflection was chosen as the logo and "My craft is my Art" as a motto. Branches were formed all over the country, and now number around 280. Branch meetings are usually held once a month and a demonstrator is normally invited to share their skills and pass on their knowledge. Some Branches are able to encourage children to become involved in the art, they are known as "Cygnets" and they attend classes given by volunteers from the Branch.

Exhibitions, of varying sizes, are held by Branches all over the country and a National Exhibition is held every four years.

For those people unable to attend Branch meetings Individual Membership is available and includes the growing numbers of members from all over the world.

Membership of the BSG is open to anyone with an interest in Sugarcraft whatever their skills, from complete novices to those who are professionals in their field.

If you are interested in joining the British Sugarcraft Guild the address of the National Office is under contact addresses. They can provide details of your nearest Branch and the cost of Individual Membership. International Membership is currently available for a yearly subscription of £23.00 sterling (April 1st to March 31st). Members receive a quarterly magazine and newsletter.
