Subscriber Zone!

We love hearing- from our subscribers from all over the world. This issue we catch up with Dmytrii Puga from Ukraine, who started his business (’Dmytrii Puga Cake Design’) in 2015. Her motto is short but sweet: cake is art! We couldn’t agree more

CHEERS, POPS!

“I wanted to make something fun for Father’s Day and let’s be fair, a lot of dads enjoy a pint! You can personalise this with different colours depending on the type of beer they like - go darker with the paint if they like Guinness for example. You could really push the boat out and use beer in the buttercream or the cake itself!” Lisa
