WelcomeIt is amazing to see how much our cakes are influenced by the modern day
trends. Sometimes it’s just a different twist and other times a completely
new direction but whatever the inspiration it’s always exciting to see.
We begin by looking to the stars, a simple Galaxy themed cake that with
the help of PME Edible Lustre Spray is so easy to achieve. So don’t be
afraid this is definitely a fun time cake
Homemade cookies are our featured family bake. They not only taste great
but with a little imagination can also create an amazing decorated cake.
Now that’s a WOW!
Retro is back with a bang and what better way to embrace all of those
Hollywood movies than with an American Diner cake. I’m sure like me you
have a favourite film in mind and maybe even a song or two to go with it.
Last but not least some simple Cactus themed cupcakes, now that’s a trend
with a difference.
We all take inspiration from everything around us so don’t forget that we
would love to see pictures of your cakes and who knows that may even
feature in a future issue.
