New for May
 
Many of you have asked, both on the forum and in personal emails to me, what equipment is needed to get you up and started decorating cakes. 
 
Each month, I will be offering a piece of equipment for one month, on special offer, just to get you started.
 
This month our equipment offer is the PME Easyflow Smoother/Polisher, normally £4.75, but for May it is £4.25!

Hello Readers,  
 
Another month has passed and we are already in May.  It will be Christmas soon!
 
I have been busy this month sifting through all the new products that we have on the website.  If you haven't already checked out our full range of coloured cupcake cases, then please have a look as they really are quite spectacular.  I use them for all my cupcakes.
 
My last newsletter was well received by you all and yet again, you haven't disappointed me with the fantastic photographs that I have received.  There really are some very good cake decorators out there amongst you all!  Have a look at this month's Hall of Fame and see if you have been included.  I'm so sorry that I can't use all the photographs you send me in the newsletter but every single one will get included into our cake gallery section (coming soon) of the website so that everyone can have a little look!
 
I have included some lovely First Holy Communion ideas in this edition and, as Fathers Day is on 20th June, I have also shown some of our new models that would be perfect for good old Dad's special cake.
 
If you have any requests or ideas for inclusion in the newsletter then please do not hesitate to contact me at louise@cakecraftworld.com.

  

Until next month, happy baking!

Happy Fathers Day

We have some wonderful Fathers Day ideas.  The cake below uses our new resting man model and our fantastic 'Best Dad' candles will really make him feel special. 
 
Best Dad
 
There are some fabulous
new edible pens in store now. 
They really are very good and so easy to use,
 even the children can have a go!
 
Have a look on www.cakecraftworld.co.uk
for some of our 'in-house artist' Mel's
amazing works of art with them!

pens

 If cupcakes are your thing, why not make Dad some lovely ones with this set of Karen Davies face moulds.  The set comes with 5 different faces and, as you can see, they are fantastic quality.  Why not match the icing with the cupcake cases like I have?

 If Dad is a golf fan, then this golf buggy cake set with golfer is all you need to make this fantastic cake.  It includes the golf buggy, 18 flag, 3 fir trees, pop-up scenery and golfer.  The set is £8.22.

First Holy Communion

 

Purple commuion cake

 I really love this purple First Holy Communion cake.  The top comes as a complete set of a gold challice, grapes and netting.  I have complemented the topper here with a purple satin ribbon and thin gold ribbon.  This cake is unisex and could also be used as a confirmation cake. 
 
 
***TOP TIP*** 
 
Apply a tiny dot of royal icing to the ribbon joins to fix them together and whilst they are drying, hold together with a pin until set.  Don't forget to take it out before eating though!
 
 
 Flower communion cake
 
If you are looking for something pretty for your First Holy Communion cake, then this is just the ticket.  I used our lovely white icing flowers with silver centres but they are also available in gold. The goblet and bible are available in both silver and gold and the ribbon is only 65p per metre.  
  
communion candle cake
 
 We have thought of everything and that includes 'First Holy Communion candles'!  These beauties are £3.50 and are great fun.  The clear irridescent diamond trim on the cake is £1.25 per metre and it really sparkles!

 Cute cakes and Posh Stands!

mini cupcakes

What could honestly be lovelier than high tea and cupcakes on a victoriana cake stand?  You can easily create this 'Pygmalion' inspired display with our beautiful new mini sugar rosebuds in mixed colours.  I have popped them on top of mini muffins and have you noticed the different coloured mini muffin cases?  Now these are the prettiest little things but what really makes it special is when they are arranged on this absolutely gorgeous English garden china cake stand.
 
 

CAKE STAND OFFER! 

If you love this cake stand then now is the time to buy it!  Usually £29.00 but now £25.00, while stocks last.

Blooming Marvellous

 
wedding sugar flower spray
 
We are very excited about the arrival of the
new range of handmade sugar flower sprays to www.cakecraftworld.co.uk
 
I think the handmade sugar burgundy and pink trailing rose and azalea spray looks stunning on this 2 tier cake.  I added a 25mm dusty pink satin ribbon and over the top tied a 3mm burgundy satin ribbon with a bow. 
 
  
Nothing could be simpler than decorating your own wedding cake with this trio of stunning cala lily trails
 
At £16.95 for the set of three, they are amazing value for money.  You can attach them to the cake as separate trails as I have done or have them end to end as one continuous long spiral of flowers.
 
cala lillies
 
 The wide diamante banding gives this cake a touch of glamour and so easy to create.  It is also on a special Introductory offer at £22.50 per metre instead of £25.00!

CRAZY CUPCAKES!

 

cupcakes

Introducing our totally mad new range of coloured cupcake cases!  They are excellent quality and the colours are amazing.  This wonderful collection were made with our decorations for small cakes and displayed on our small cupcake stand which holds 13 cupcakes. 

LOUISE'S SECRET RECIPE!

Due to massive popular demand, I am going to reveal my recipe for beautiful pale buttercream frosting for the best cupcakes in the world!

300g icing sugar
50g butter (room temp)
125g cream cheese (cold)
 
Makes enough for 12 cupcakes
 
Beat butter until nice and fluffy (about a min) and then add the icing sugar slowly.  If it all gets a bit dry and the butter and icing sugar doesn't seem to be blending, add a small amount of cream cheese to get it going.  Once all the icing sugar is in, add the cream cheese slowly and turn up full blast and beat for about 3 minutes (no less) until light and fluffy. 
 
Will keep in the fridge for a few days if well covered but re-blend before using.
