…to your August 2022 issue! As I currently type, the UK is experiencing a heat wave and boy it is a scorcher! I hope everyone who is struggling to bake and decorate in this heat has managed to somehow come out on top – what are your top tips for caking in hot weather?! Let me know!
Our cover star this issue celebrates the summer sport of cricket, a stunner by Lindy Smith incorporating bas relief work, a painted background on the cake tier and a modelled cricket ball from rice krispie treats. This can all be adapted into your chosen sport – imagine a footballer kicking a football or a rugby player throwing a rugby ball. Follow the steps to learn the skills then set off on your own journey! This is a good cake to have in the bank for any upcoming birthdays you may know of!
