letter from the editor
It ' s that time of year again - our favourite season ! After a long and difficult year for many of us we are welcoming the warm weather and a break to celebrate and share time with family and friends . Welcome to the 4th issue of Cake ! Magazine for 2021 !
We are looking forward to our Virtual Awards Night on Saturday 5th December . Although we can ' t have the event in person this year , we ' re looking forward to gathering online to celebrate the achievements of individuals and businesses within our cake decorating & baking industry . We ' d love you to join us ! See our finalists and event information on page 88 !
This year we launched our new membership - the Business Lounge - which provides support , knowledge and mentoring for members to grow their own baking businesses . We have welcomed many baking business owners from across Australia and internationally , and it has been so rewarding watching their businesses grow with the support of our monthly workshops , guest experts and other members . Doors to the Business Lounge will be opening again on the 1st February . We look forward to welcoming you then ! ( See page 32 for more details )
In this issue of Cake ! Magazine we celebrate our favourite time of the year - Christmas - with a range of Cakes & Bakes from Australian decorators .
We wish you all a very safe , relaxing and enjoyable Christmas & New Year break with your friends and family !!
