The Christmas Table: Christmas recipes and tutorials A celebration of all things Christmas! | Page 3

Letter from the editor Christmas is by far my favourite time of year. Last week I pulled out the Christmas tree and put it up with the help of my boys. The squeals of excitement as they wrapped themselves (not the tree) in tinsel and fairy lights made me smile, and reminded me of why I love Christmas so much. To me, the best parts about the Christmas period are spending time with my family, laughing, eating lots of yummy food and generally relaxing and winding down after a busy year. It’s wonderful to be able to share the Christmas spirit not only with my children, but also with cake decorators and bakers worldwide with our first ebook; The Christmas Table. We have brought together many of Australia and the world’s most talented decorators and asked them to share with us their favourite Christmas recipe and what makes Christmas special to them. Our contributors have amazed us with pages and pages of tutorial inspiration for you to make as gifts, share with colleagues or wow your guests on Christmas day. So read, create, enjoy and share the Christmas spirit this year. I can’t wait to see what you make from this book and wish you and your family a very safe and happy Christmas period.
