Cake Decoration & Sugarcraft Magazine January 2017 Vorige editie

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with friends and family, and indulged all your festive cake crafting desires. Here at Cake HQ we are all feeling truly blessed and a little over indulgent, so the glamourous antidote to the excesses of the season is to herald the light and work in white.

In this issue we show you white with rose gold with a fabulous  amingo from Zoe Smith that can also be made for a trendy tropical multi-tier design on page 10.

Our cover star this month from Karen Keaney is inspired by traditional pastel confetti. Wedding white complete with the sweetest fondant macarons and a blousy wafer  ower, we know you’ll be recreating elements of this cake for many seasons to come! Turn to page 24
and be prepared to fall in love.

I love all things Italian, especially food! So I was thrilled when Veronica
Seta agreed to make a celebration cake featuring adorable ‘pizzelle’ wa e
biscuits, as they look just like snow akes. Grazie mille Veronica, for always
inspiring us with old school Italian romance – I can’t wait to see more from you this year.

English baker down under, Jackie Thompson, demonstrates quick and
easy elegance with white  owers embellished with diamanté…beautiful
and addictive, you can adorn so many designs with this simple idea on
page 52. They would be brilliant with our reader cake tutorial on page 71,
elegant rules! For royal icing fans and those of you who have been practicing with Ceri Griffiths series which returns next issue, we have a stunning white and pastel carousel design from Sally Owens on page 44. For novelty cake ideas, Carol Deacon gives us a stork ‘surprise inside’ cake with a white exterior and you decide the colour on the inside – pink or blue? Perfect for birth announcements on page 34.
