Christmas

It's that time of year again - our favourite season! After a long and difficult year for many of us we are welcoming the warm weather and a break to celebrate and share time with family and friends. We are looking forward to our Virtual Awards Night on Saturday 5th December, and although we can't have the event in person this year, we're looking forward to gathering online to celebrate the achievements of individuals and businesses within our cake decorating and baking industry. This year we also launched our new membership, the Business Lounge, which provides support, knowledge and mentoring for members to grow their own baking businesses. In this issue we celebrate our favourite time of the year, Christmas, with a range of Cakes and Bakes from Australian decorators.
