And you know what that means... It's our Christmas edition! Christmas is by far my favourite time of the year. Seeing all of the beautiful lights, hearing Christmas music and baking lots of yummy Christmas treats truly makes my heart happy! I love working on our November issue of Cake! magazine each year as we get closer to the festive season. In this issue we share tutorials for you to create for your Christmas centrepiece, or to give as a gift to a loved one. We also interview the magnificent Shannon Bond in this issue, one of the leaders of cake decorating trends in the industry at the moment. The USA based Chef Benny Rivera features in this interview with a tutorial and decorator profile. We have recently returned from the UK where we attended Cake International as part of our UK Cake Crawl. You can read all about our UK adventure on page 68. Wishing you all a very happy, safe and relaxing Christmas & New Year break. Liz Liz Wright editor Liz is the editor of Cake! magazine and founder and owner of the Australian Cake Decorating Network.
