B AKING ~ DECORATING ~ S H A R I N G
Hello everyone, welcome to our
August newsletter!
For those of you who dont know, this is what I look like...
and for some of you who do know - I hate having my picture
taken, so you wont find many of me on my page!
Anyway, enough about me.
Following on from the feedback we received from our last
newsletter, we have decided to move away from the basic
school newsletter format to a more glamourous magazine
type format.
We have spent a lot of time on the design and presentation
of this issue, and hope you like the more modern, fresh,
updated look.
Baking ~ Decorating ~ Sharing is the Cake Masters motto,
and we aim to deliver on each of these elements in
everything we do through our Facebook page and magazine.
The aim of our monthly magazines are to highlight all cakey
news over the last month; showcase your amazing cakes;
include informative features and above all, sharing caking and
baking knowledge!
See this newsletter as a bit of a round up, incase you might have missed something on Facebook- lets face
it, I am not sure Facebook works all the time anyway- I am still having problems seeing my own posts let
alone other post from pages I follow- boo!
I am in awe of all the caking and baking skill out there and I will do my best to shout out all the amazingly
talented cakers by featuring you in my magazine.
Enjoy leafing through the featured wedding cake pages in this issue as there are some beautifully designed
pieces and I really enjoyed putting this part of the magazine together.
Special thanks to all our contributors this month, especially Manisha Parmar from the Great British Bake
Off, who gave us an exclusive interview for all Cake Masters fans.
Let me know what you think of our new look, I would love to hear from you!

mat from Edible Creators then roll
very firmly. This will leave you an
imprint.
Gorgeous lace
imprint!

Step 3
Use your cutter to reshape the
imprinted fondant and place directly
on to your cupcake gently shaping as
you do not want to stretch the
impression!
Step 4
Mix your whitener and rejuvenating
spirit(of vodka) together and lightly
brush over your fondant which will
bring the lace imprint to life.
Voila!
This technique was
developed by Carinas
Cupcakes using sugar
veil mats. Allison from
Lets Eat Cupcakes
adopted it to use
texture mats from
Edible Creators as a
cheaper alternative.

KitchenAid
vs.
Kenwood

Our opinion....
I am still deciding which mixer to buy.
Can you believe it...I have never owned a stand mixer because I simply dont know which one I
want. Before carrying out the research for this article, I felt that if I bought the Kenwood over the
KitchenAid I would be disappointed when I got home...and vice versa!
Yes, I drive myself insane when going shopping! I am one of those people that will think about
purchasing something...but then wont buy it- come home and be so annoyed at myself for not
getting it! So enough about my weird shopping habits and back to mixers.
I scoured the internet for hours looking through many different reviews and reading through what
seemed like thousands of testimonies on Amazon regarding personal customer experiences.
Having gone through so much content, it appeared to me that one mixer did come out slightly on
top each time. I was on a mission to find out some of the differences and here is a summary of
things that might help you choose which one you will go for, and YES ,I will be letting you know my
final decision on the Kenwood vs KitchenAid debate.
KitchenAid
- Available in 28 colours
- Retro look
- Mixer bowl comes with a handle
- Blender attachment needs to be
bought separately
- Used in pretty much all cooking
shows on TV- just good product
placement marketing though?
-There are said to be complaints about
after sales service with KitchenAid
- Power cable sticks out of the machine
- Expensive
Kenwood
- Mainly silver although the KMix is
available in approximately 11 colours
-Sleek modern design
- Mixer bowl has no handle
- Blender attachment comes included
- Better customer services and easier to
find parts for machines, even the ancient
ones!
- Power cable runs through the machine
- Cheaper
