Cake Decoration & Sugarcraft Magazine December 2019 Edizione posteriore

Welcome... to the last issue issue of 2019! We are now in full flow of the festivities, enjoying all of the extra edible glitter and sprinkles this time of the year brings! This issue, we bring you an abundance of ideas to enjoy with your family – as that’s what it’s all about, bringing people together!

If modelling is your bag, take a look at Marie McGrath’s modelling
masterclass on page 16, these adorable Nordic gnomes work well in a cluster on top of a single tier as well as on smaller cakes as toppers! Plus, Zoe Smith allows you to work on those diffi cult to master facial features with her magical Mrs Claus on page 62.

One of my absolute favourites this issue is Emma Stewart’s design on page
28 – three techniques but each so simple to emulate! Metallic painting using a template, sugar berries and leaves, and making a wood effect – all so beautiful and on trend too!

Throughout this edition we’ve taken a look at techniques we think are going to see you through not only the festive season but into the winter months next year, with Julie Rogerson’s steps on making the perfect knitted effect on page 36 (such a sweet penguin too!) along with Sarah Lou Smith’s advice on airbrushing in blue for an ombre look – which can be adapted for any colour – plus many more too!

I’d like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to all those who have contributed to the fantastic issues 2019 has seen and I can’t wait to see what 2020 has in store!
