…to your October issue! With autumn upon us, not only are the colours around us in nature changing, but the colours we use in cake too! Things go a little darker, or a lot in the case of Emma Stewart’s bold design on page 12, where she showcases the use of black tiers with a gold base tier, teamed with black stencilling over the top –a stunning finish perfect for celebrations this time of year! Elsewhere, our cover star Molly Robbins shows how to use her Creature Creator to make an adorable squirrel, lovingly named Cyril, and you can make so many other animals with this mould too!
October also sees the eeriest time of the year… Halloween… so get your boys and ghouls ready to take on some marvellous modelling creations! Will you try Karen Keaney’s Mrs Pumpkin to help with your carving skills on page 8, Julie Rogerson’s Frankenstein’s monster loot bag on page 20 made entirely of cake and filled with modelled sweeties, or Marie McGrath’s little bears on page 36 who each have a Halloween costume ready for trick or treating?!
