letter from the editor
Finally, one of the things that continues to impress me most about this community is the way difficult topics are handled with maturity and generosity. In this issue we share highlights from a recent Chat with Amber discussion sparked by a thoughtful question from member Lisa Spratling on the topic of copying in the cake industry. What followed was one of those conversations that reminds you why communities like ACDN matter— experienced decorators sharing wisdom, offering practical suggestions, and supporting one another through challenges many of us have faced.
Editor’ s Tip: Somewhere in this issue we’ ve hidden a small reward for readers who make it all the way through. If you spot it, follow the instructions— we love rewarding attentive decorators.
That spirit of generosity, creativity and quiet encouragement is what makes this community special.
So whether you’ re here to try your hand at a mirror ball cake, learn a new technique, or simply enjoy the beautiful work shared by fellow decorators, I hope this issue leaves you inspired— and perhaps just a little more sparkly.
Emma
Happy decorating,
Emma Holliday Director & Editor Australian Cake Decorating Network
