letter from the editor It's that time of year again - our favourite season! The warm weather is back and it's time to CELEBRATE! Welcome to the 4th issue of Cake! Magazine for 2020. We have had a very busy year, with our Cake Camp in Blue Mountains in August and our 2019 Cake Decorating & Baking Industry Awards Night on 9th November 2019, as well as working on several new events and exciting plans for 2020! Our 2019 Awards Night was a huge success, we had a room full of cake decorators and bakers from across Australia and several international guests. Congratulations to all of our finalists and winners! Read our event wrapup on page 82 to see winners of our 2019 Awards. We are busy planning our next big event, LA Cake Crawl (May 2020) and we have just 5 spots remaining! Get your passport ready... this will be a cake trip of a lifetime! (See page 78 for details) In this issue of Cake! Magazine we celebrate our favourite time of the year - Christmas - with a range of Cakes & Bakes from Australian and international decorators. We interview Prachi Dhabal Deb about her new product and catch up with Amber Comadira-Smith with her regular column for Cake! Magazine - Business Basics. Enjoy!
