letter from the editor
Well it has been a busy start
to the year as usual and we
can't believe it is May already!
This week we'll be travelling
to Melbourne for our 2017
VIC Cake Camp with a group
of amazing teachers and
students in the gorgeous
Yarra Valley. It is always
such a fun weekend, a great
opportunity to catch up with
cake friends, learn some new
skills and even to catch some
time to relax in the gorgeous
surroundings.
Thankyou to everyone who is
able to join us on Cake Camp
and to the rest of the team at
ACDN who have helped to
ensure that everyone has an
amazing time.
Our May 2017 issue is about
centered on one of our
favourite topics... Food!
What could be better than
cake than cake that is created
to look like other food! There
is so much work that goes
in to creating life-like cake
art, and we hope you enjoy
the tutorials and images
in this issue and that they
inspire you to create your
own edible cake-food-art!
We're also SO excited to
announce the release of
UK Cake Crawl tickets! At
the end of October 2017 a
group of 30 of us will spend
a week in the UK, touring
London's best cake shops
and studios, attending the
Cake International Show
in Birmingham, and then
heading to Liverpool to visit the
fabulous Renshaw academy.
It's going to eb amazing and
we hope you can join us!
