Jubilee treats
SUBTLE SYMBOLS • At first glance this cake looks a simple, crisp white design adorned with sugar flowers and foliage. Take a closer look… you’ll find each floral piece represents each country’s emblem in the United Kingdom; thistle, shamrock, leek and a rose. A beautifully subtle way of commemorating the Platinum Jubilee this year.
INSPIRED BY ART NOUVEAU • Learn how to make this beautiful art nouveau inspired cake using cake lace, with a stylised dragonfly.
ROYAL CAKESICLES • If you’re having a garden party, bbq or even a street party to commemorate the historical event of the Platinum Jubilee this summer, these ornate cakesicles are a definite winner.
The Cake Professionals 3 MORE secrets of successful cake consultations: Part 2 • We continue our monthly slice of honest and (hopefully!) helpful cake business discussion. At The Cake Professionals, we want to see cake businesses (and their owners!) flourishing. It’s a challenging time, so take this time to brush up on any elements you are unsure of…
OCEAN WAVES • As a top trend for this year, the oceanic theme for this beauty is created by wrapping textured sugarpaste around the cake and additional rice paper petals to represent the ocean spray. For those who love the feeling of being by the sea, this one’s for you.

Weddings can be expensive, but there are lots you can do to keep the cost down if you need to. Here, Jacqui Kelly shows how to combine name place cards and wedding favours – a great 2-4-1!
OMBRE RUFFLES • When simple is exactly what you need, pipe buttercream ruffles around a cake tier for the prettiest effect – especially in ombre. Instead of the fresh flowers used here, why not practise your sugar flower skills to add some edible blooms.
Mmm… add lots of flavour to your cakes! • Foodie Flavours are high strength, natural flavourings for baking, cooking, desserts and more!
