Bake & Decorate - December 2022

From a meringue wreath to little festive jellies, we also have some sweet gifts ideas in the form of candy cane brownies, hot chocolate truffles, and even reindeer peppermint bark on page 103. Plus bakers will enjoy perusing the array of seasonal flavours in our Cake Heaven section starting on page 26, like sumptuous chocolate orange, apple and ginger, and pistachio and honey.

For those who enjoyed carving and creating Mrs Gonk last issue, turn to page 86 and you can make a standing Mr Gonk – complete with a simple wire internal structure. If you came to our stand at Cake International you will have seen how wonderfully striking they are! Cake decorators who love modelling and would like to make something more traditional this year, should check out Vicky Teather’s Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus on page 108 – an adorable set of edible toppers to sit on top of a simple covered Christmas cake.
All this and so much more, including hand painted cookies, stenciling on cake with royal icing, savoury party ideas plus business advice, shopping and all the latest product news – what a way to end 2022!
