Cakes & Sugarcraft  |  September/October 2020
The nights are drawing in, the temperature is beginning to drop and a peppering of oranges, reds and golden browns can be seen everywhere. That’s right, autumn is officially here! With that in mind, we’ve lined up some seasonal baking and creative sugarcraft projects, which are perfect for this time of year.
We’ve got plenty of beginner-friendly projects, including a flirty floral buttercream cake, an autumnal centrepiece featuring meringue kisses, honeycomb and gold leaf decorations, and a red velvet recipe that will introduce you to mirror glaze work.
Once you’re ready to step it up a level, you can create your own shopping girl with accompanying accessories using simple modelling techniques. You can even have a go at cake carving with a fun 3D hedgehog cake that's perfect for autumn.
If you’re looking for something spooky for Halloween this year, why not have a go at our Day of the Dead showstopper? Or, if cupcakes are more your thing, there are cute pumpkins that have personalities of their own and are super easy to make.
There are also plenty of opportunities to try out your sugarcraft skills on some celebration cakes this season. Recreate an elegant golden anniversary cake, featuring a gorgeous gold leaf tier and stunning sugar flower arrangement. Or check out the tutorial for a personalised hand-painted celebration cake with shimmery pink fantasy flowers climbing up the striking dark blue base.
Whether you’re just starting out or have been baking and decorating for a long time now, we hope you enjoy learning some new techniques this autumn.
We have also just launched a new magazine, Mini Bakers, which is full of baking fun for children of all ages! Mini Bakers is the place to find lots of delicious recipes and fun projects for the little ones to get creative with. You can get a copy on the Squires Kitchen Shop or check us out on Instagram @minibakersmag.
