# Cake! Magazine Cake! Magazine is the free online magazine of the Australian Cake Decorating Network (ACDN). It is published in Australia and has run since 2014, with around 50 issues to date on a roughly quarterly cadence. Every issue is free to read online: there is no paywall, no app to install, no account required. The magazine covers the full breadth of cake decorating practice. Step-by-step tutorials in modelling, sugar flowers, buttercream, royal icing, airbrushing, and structural cake building sit alongside coverage of competitions, supplier spotlights, food-safety and business features for working decorators, and interviews with the makers behind the work. Issues are themed (modelling, wedding cakes, glitter and bling, Christmas, hyperrealism, and so on), and the back catalogue back to 2014 doubles as a working reference library for cake decorators at every level. Cake! Magazine is the magazine of the Australian Cake Decorating Network, the community organisation for Australian cake decorators. Members and non-members can read every issue online; members can also submit their work for the Member Gallery and competition pages. ## Issues - [June 2026](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2026-06) - Bright, Bold & Beautiful - [March 2026](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2026-03) - Bling, Queens and All That Glitters - [December 2025](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2025-12) - Sprinkle Joy This Christmas - [September 2025](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2025-09) - Wedding Edition - [June 2025](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2025-06) - Sport - [March 2025](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2025-03) - Pretty in Pink - [November 2024](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2024-11) - Tutorials to Bake this Christmas - [September 2024](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2024-09) - Painted Cake Tutorials - [June 2024](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2024-06) - [March 2024](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2024-03) - Candy Tutorials - [December 2023](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2023-12) - Tutorials to bake this Christmas - [September 2023](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2023-09) - Chocolate - [June 2023](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2023-06) - [March 2023](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2023-03) - [December 2022](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2022-12) - [September 2022](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2022-09) - [June 2022](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2022-06) - [March 2022](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2022-03) - [December 2021](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2021-12) - [September 2021](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2021-09) - Metallics - [May 2021](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2021-05) - Animal - [March 2021](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2021-03) - Easter - [November 2020](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2020-11) - Christmas - [August 2020](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2020-08) - [May 2020](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2020-05) - [March 2020](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2020-03) - Easter - [November 2019](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2019-11) - [September 2019](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2019-09) - Painted Cakes & Bakes - [May 2019](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2019-05) - Cupcakes - [February 2019](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2019-02) - Florals - [November 2018](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2018-11) - Christmas Celebrate - [August 2018](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2018-08) - Cakes for Men - [May 2018](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2018-05) - [February 2018](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2018-02) - [November 2017](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2017-11) - Christmas Edition - [August 2017](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2017-08) - Winter Wonderland - [May 2017](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2017-05) - Food - [February 2017](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2017-02) - [November 2016](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2016-11) - [August 2016](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2016-08) - [May 2016](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2016-05) - [February 2016](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2016-02) - All things chocolate - [November 2015](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2015-11) - [August 2015](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2015-08) - [May 2015](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2015-05) - [February 2015](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2015-02) - Modelling - [November 2014](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2014-11) - [August 2014](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2014-08) - [Autumn 2014](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2014-04-autumn) - April 2014 - [January 2014](https://cakenetwork.com/magazine/2014-01) ## Insurance The Cake! Network refers cake decorators and bakers to Red Star Insurance Brokers for cake-business public and products liability cover. Red Star has been the Cake! Network insurance partner since 2016 and is an authorised representative of Red Star Insurance Pty Ltd (AFSL No. 444803). Cake! Network is not a licensed insurance adviser and does not advise on insurance or recommend any specific cover. The Cake! Member saving is A$100 off the Red Star liability policy. With the A$120 membership fee, that's about A$20 net for the year if you would be taking out the policy anyway. Joining as a Cake! Member before the policy starts is what unlocks the saving. Page: https://cakenetwork.com/insurance Get a quote: https://cakenetwork.com/go/red-star-insurance Specific cover questions ("is X covered, what about Y") belong with Red Star, who are licensed to answer them. We name the worry and route to them; we do not answer it on the page. ## Preferred suppliers The Cake! Network runs a directory of preferred suppliers: Australian (and a few international) cake-decorating businesses that give Cake! Members a discount. The directory hub is at https://cakenetwork.com/suppliers and each supplier has its own page. The partner story and the offer are public; the discount code itself is for signed-in Cake!
