HALL of FAME 
I'm really impressed with Alicia's first attempt at a 3D cake.  Well done Alicia!
 
 
 
Bernice Holt has used our golf buggy cake set with golfer after contacting me to ask for some advice on getting a correct green.  It turned out brilliantly Bernice!
 
 
There is so much going on with Hannah Cheshire's Alice in Wonderland cake that it kept me busy for ages looking at all the detail. 
Top job Hannah!
 
 
Kirsten Tomlinson has used edible diamonds to decorate this gorgeous wedding cake.  I also love the teal ribbon that is a new addition to our products here at
 Cake Craft World.
 
 
This Liverpool cake was made out in Tenerife by Lorna Campbell Smith.  We are glad it didn't melt Lorna!
 
 
Great attention to detail on this racing car cake made by Marie Campbell and I recognise that black and white racing car checked ribbon!
 
 
Mark Bailey made this Dr Who cake for his Cousin's Son and apparently it was 'quite stressful'.  Well done Mark, it was worth the sweat and tears!
 
 
A gorgeous, classic, simple wedding cake from Sue Moores.  Decorated with white or ivory roses and then finished off with white bridal sheer ribbon.
 
 
I love this cake from Thelma Welch.  It's so realistic and reminds me of my Nana's old sewing basket!
* Louise's Top Tip*
The Sugarflair paste colour in Eucalyptus isn't only for use with flower arrangements.  It has a lovely vintage tone to it and I have used our Karen Davies single rose mould, swags mould and gold dragees to create this classy little number.  It gives a professional look without having to mould anything!

Dear Readers 
 
With the Summer almost over now and Autumn just around the corner, what better time for us to show you some great ideas with colour.  I have spent lots of time investigating different ideas and techniques for you to try on your own creations.  I have had some fantastic cakes emailed to me over the past couple of months and I would like to thank each and every one of you for taking the time and effort to keep sending them in.  I am sorry if I didn't get to reply to you but please do keep contributing as your photographs make this newsletter very exciting.
 
Pat Whorwood has joined a Facebook page called Cakebaker and it has hundreds of users.  I have joined it and there are lots of decorators and bakers on there sharing their tips and recipes.  I have alerted the group to the wonders of CakeCraftWorld and hope that they will have a look on our website and purchase some of our delights! 
 
We will be setting up a Facebook page for CakeCraftWorld and when it is ready to launch, I will inform you all.
 
If you have any requests or ideas for inclusion in future newsletters, please do contact me on louise@cakecraftworld.com
 
Before I go I wanted to say please take the time to read about our Macamillan coffee morning being held at our warehouse in Sevenoaks on Saturday 9th October.  Full details are underneath the Hall of Fame photographs.
 
Until next month readers, Happy Baking!

A New Twist on an Old Design

7 inch tin 
 
Traditionally styled wedding cakes will definitely be making a comeback next year but with a modern feel.  We have created this fresh twist on an old style by using vibrant colours in this pretty sugar flower spray. 

Purple Pleasure

 
7 inch tin
These beautiful new purple roses have landed in CakeCraftWorld and we are loving them! They come in 4 sizes but I have used the largest here & teamed them up with our mauve cupcake cases for maximum impact. I think the gold dragees just add to the glamour, don't you!  

Roses are Red...Orange & Yellow!

7 inch tin 
This cake is both colourful & pretty.  The roses are made from yellow, orange and red sugarpaste 
& the butterflies were supplied by the Client.  Try a different colour scheme and use our selection of butterflies.

The Circus has Come to Town

 
 
 
 
 
 
  With some practice, you can produce some fantastic looking rope effects with our sugarcraft gun.  I have inserted long sausages of yellow, blue and red into the gun (one colour at a time) and then twisted them together to form one rope.  The secret to success is to work FAST and to remember to keep the other sausages covered whilst doing another so they don't crack!  What better time to have a go than now as the sugarcraft gun is on special offer (see below).

*** Special Offer ***

If you have never used a sugarcraft gun, now is the time to invest in one.  You can create ropes, hair, ribbons and many other shapes out of flower paste, mexican paste and marzipan with this invaluable piece of equipment. Treat yourself this month as it has a discounted price of only £16.15.  Click here now!

 

There's a Bug on my Cupcake!

  

I totally adore these colourful creatures!  All are made with our collection of Sugarflair paste colours and Regalice Sugarpaste.  
To add some extra colour to my cupcakes, I coloured the muffin mix too and put them all in our funky black cupcake cases  The flowers were made by rolling different coloured pastes together and then using our great extra large flower blossom plunger cutter. 

Fancy Frills

  

This was an experiment that I have been thinking about trying for a long time and I think it is very successful.  Take a classic garrett frill and inject some colour to achieve this stunning visual effect. 
  Luckily we have our garrett frill cutter on special offer this month  (see below). You can of course use any colours you wish.
 

*** Special Offer ***

Our plastic Garrett frill cutter with 3 interchangeable centres makes the frill different sizes and is CURRENTLY ON SPECIAL OFFER £4.16 INSTEAD OF £4.60.  Click here now while stocks last!
 
 

Reader's Rainbow Cupcakes

  

I love these dainty little floral cupcakes that Kate McGeoch sent in. You can create the same effects by using our large daisy plunger cutter and selection of rose moulds. Well done Kate!
It's Time to Go.......
