letter from the editor
Thankyou for reading our November
issue of Cake!
This issue we're celebrating Spring
weddings, with a collection of stunning
spring
wedding
cakes
featuring
sugarflowers, bright colours, and even
a touch of metallic!
We have tutorials for all styles of wedding
and engagement cakes, perfect for any
couple saying 'I do'.
Don't miss our new 'back to basics'
feature with foundation tutorials to
perfect those important basic skills- this
issue includes stencilling secrets with
Janet O'Sullivan.
In this issue we also feature interviews
with some of the best wedding cake
decorators in the world- Mrs Weinstock,
Peggy Porschen and Zoe Clark, just to
name a few.
Interviewing these ladies for this issue
was even more special than usual, as
I had the pleasure of visiting Peggy
Porschen Parlour and Zoe Clark's The
Cake Parlour on my recent trip to London.

Unfortunately for my family our holiday
quickly became a 'cake tour of London'
as I travelled the city interviewing my
cake idols!
We had an absolutely brilliant time at the
Melbourne Cake Bake & Sweets Show
at the start of October. Despite the sore
feet by the end of the weekend, I loved
every second of the show weekend. My
favourite part of the show, of course,
was seeing our Cake Chapel project
come to life.

Liz Wright editor

The amazing Verusca Walker and our
team of 30 ACDN member volunteers
came together to create an edible Cake
Chapel in less than 48 hours- ready for
the wedding of Stef and Dave, which
happened live at the show!
