Bake & Decorate - February 2023

We begin with an abundance of sumptuous chocolate-y makes that will be perfect for Valentine’s Day, including a gateau adorned with raspberries, brownies, lava cake, fondue, and using modelling chocolate for sweet little heart decoration. We don’t forget the simple chocolate cake, ideal for satisfying your favourite chocoholics!

Alongside the best biscuit, cupcake, cake and pudding recipes, you’ll find super cake decorating tutorials for you to try your hand at. To celebrate Pancake Day, Zoe Burmester has created an incredibly realistic pancake illusion cake, with ‘syrup’, ‘whipped cream’ and modelled fruit! It is a must-make for this month! Elsewhere, Emma Stewart shows how to stencil onto your cake using lustre dusts, Vicky Teather uses sugarpaste to model the cutest love bug cake toppers, and Veronica Seta helps you to improve your sugar flowers with her latest tutorial, geraniums.

If you enjoy creating the perfect bake plus the decorating too, Dani Brazier provides the recipe for a delicious pink velvet cake and she shows how to adorn the cake with a simple yet effective hand painted silhouette – taking you from the sight to the bite!
