Cake Masters February Issue

Welcome to the February issue of Cake Masters magazine
where the theme is LOVE!
As February is the @me of the month where love seems to
be in the air, we have a very special feature on Valen@nes
cakes. This also @es in nicely with the announcement of
our Valen@nes Professional and Hobby Baker compe@@on
winners. It was very dicult to decide in the professional
category, the standard was just so high! Thank you to
everyone who entered, the designs this year were superb!
An extra special highlight of this edi@on of the magazine is
a full brieng on what the Cake & Bake Show in
Manchester has in store for us in April. We caught up with
the organisers who told us all about the special features of
the show - there really are some great ones!
You all must enter the Cake Catwalk Compe@@on at the show, where your cake designs will go on
an actual Catwalk! The other exci@ng feature is the gingerbread village where you are given a plot
to design your own gingerbread house which will make up part of a huge village. The guys at the
show have been extra nice and are oering 10 @ckets to the show in Manchester as well as
being entered into a draw to win an iPAD mini EXCLUSIVE to Cake Masters fans and readers only.
We have tutorials, an excellent column this month, the Alterna@ve AZernoon Tea with Jen, an
exclusive recipe from Mary Berrys new book and much more.
I really hope you enjoy this edi@on of Cake Masters Magazine

MASTERCLASS
with Master PaRssiere
Eric Lanlard
(worth 195)
A giant, whacky wonderland inspired Gingerbread Village has to be one of our

favourite features planned for the Manchester Cake & Bake Show!
As well as an impressive 7 foot high gingerbread house, commissioned especially
for the event, there will be a display of biscuit buildings and village features
created by gingerbread fanaRcs around the country who are being invited to
display their designs as part of a compeRRon sponsored by Billingtons.
But this wont be the usual fesRve themed display of gingerbread houses, as
entrants are being asked to take inspiraRon from childhood memories of the
edible creaRons in Alice in Wonderland, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory and
Hansel and Gretel to create unique candy clad construcRons!
CompeRtors are invited to enter their plans for individual plots in the village
online, from which the organisers will select the most promising entrants to come
to the show to create the village. Judges will be looking for creaRvity and design
and so the only real limitaRons are the size of the plot 12 x 12 inches, with
entrants free to create any structure from gingerbread - not just houses, with
landscaping and gardens etc encouraged.

Baking t
Step 1
Make your cupcake batter using the Easy
Peasy Lemon Squuezy Cake recipe. You
can use any light coloured sponge recipe,
although you should make sure it is a
moist recipe and not too dry!
Tip all cake ingredients into large mixing bowl and beat for
2-3 minutes; mixture will drop easily o spoon.
Spoon mixture into tin and smooth with back of spoon. I use
an oblong tin which measures 9 x 8, lined with baking
parchment. You could also use a round tin.
Bake for 30-40 minutes until golden & rm to the touch.
Cool in tin & slice.
Step 2
Once you have made your batter, separate
a 1/3 of it into a small bowl. Cling lm the
remaining batter mix and leave to one side.
Use food colouring or natural alternatives
to dye the 1/3rd you have just separated to
the colour of your choice. Ive chosen pink
for my hearts.
10
Step 3
Grease the base/sides of a square, (any
shape will do, i just preferred square for
doing this) deep baking tray and pour in
the coloured mixture to a depth of a
couple of centimeters. Use your
judgement here, you are looking for
a risen depth that will t into your
cupcake cases, whilst leaving room for
the non dyed batter as well.
Step 4
Use a small heart shaped cutter to cut out
shapes from the coloured cake. Pop in the
fridge to cool, or even freeze for 30
minutes to help prevent overcooking when
you re-bake them.
Pop the baking tray into the oven at the

temperature the recipe suggests. Take the
cake out as soon as it is rm enough to
handle being cut into. Try and avoid
baking for the full suggested recipe time
if you can. Keep testing it so that you can
remove from the oven the second it is
rm enough to cut.
Once rmed take the cake out of the
oven and leave to cool completely.
Popping it into the fridge will speed the
process up.
Step 5
Place your cupcake cases into your mun
tin. Remove the clinglm from your 2/3rd
non dyed batter and spoon a dollop into the
base of each case.
Take each heart and stand it vertically (point
to the base) into the dollop of batter. Then
spoon a dollop of batter on either side of the
heart. Make sure your batter reaches roughly
the half way mark of the cupcake, high
enough to support the heart, but
remembering that the batter will rise!
Remember you want the batter to rise OVER
the top of your heart so add enough to
achieve this. You can also add a dollop of
batter over the top of the heart to help.

THE ALTERNATIVE
A"ernoon Tea wi# Jen

I'm sat here wriRng this aQer having enjoyed the most
gorgeous aQernoon tea (AT) in a land far, far away... So
HELLLLOOOO from my ValenRne's sweetheart (my lovely
husband Mark - pictured on the right) and me. I really can't
wait to write about my special ValenRne's Day AT, as I have so
much to share with you about the fabulous
"ALTERNATIVE AFTERNOON TEAS" I have recently indulged in
London. I'm dubbing them 'alternaRve ATs' because these
parRcular opRons are not your run-of-the-mill nger
sandwiches, scones and cakes, which are obviously wonderful
in their own right, but why dont you judge for yourself.
So, my cakey pal Allison, from Lets
Eat Cupcakes, recently celebrated
her big 4-0 and I thought that the
Madhaeer's Tea at the Sanderson
Hotel in Soho would be the
perfect giQ for her. From the
moment we were shown to our
table, we just knew it would be
special. The whole experience was
very "wonderland-y" - from the
menus provided in vintage books,

to the way the tea choices were
presented in preey glass jars.
Ooh and the teapots, teacups and
saucers were just so whimsical in
keeping with the 'Madhaeer'
theme. The pice de rsistance
was most denitely the
presentaRon of the AT cake stand
lled with gorgeous and magical-
looking goodies. The savoury

opRons were plenRful, including a
selecRon of ham and cheese
scones; mini-quiches and sweets
were seriously UH-MAZ-ING! We
loved the 'drink me' poRon and
the totally fun meringue
mushrooms and carrots. The best
thing was that everything really
did taste as good as it looked!
15
Feature Travel ~ Taste ~ Try

Jens Just Desserts
Just when we thought we couldn't

eat any more... you know how some
other AT places give you the opRon
of selecRng from a cake trolley?
Well, this 'Madhaeer' tea allowed
for a selecRon from a JELLY CART!
Of course, we had to sample these,
so yes, we had a variety of dierent
avours including pineapple,
banana and rhubarb - again, just so
dierent to your usual AT!! My
favourites from this alternaRve, and
slightly mad AT were the green tea
mousse and the mango/white

chocolate cake. I was also pleasantly
surprised by the yummy mini-
quiches and the really light,
refreshing rhubarb and custard tea.
I'm already looking forward to my
return visit here, as it's denitely
somewhere I'll be coming back to
again and again!
If you really want an alternaRve

AT in London - perhaps something
for the special fella in your life -
then look no further than the
Sanctum Soho Hotel. I say it's an
AT for 'your fella' just because
what they have to oer is called
the'Gentleman's AQernoon Tea,'
I'm certainly no gentleman and I
totally enjoyed it! Can you believe
this special AT starts o with
oysters!! So, how does this menu
sound to you?
Poached oyster with bloody mary
relish / Seared steak with peppers
and mushrooms on toasted
sourdough / Mini smoked salmon,
caviar and watercress bagel - as
the rst course.

Lamb and potato hotpot / Mini
Sanctum beef burger with
mustard seed relish / Rabbit,
panceea and leek pasty / Roast
beef and horseradish stued
Yorkshire pudding - as the second
course.
And you do also get something
sweet, as well: Twice baked
chocolate fudge cake with Jack
Daniels Ice Cream.
Oh, did I menRon that you also get
a lil' tankard of Jack Daniels, as
well as a mini-cigar!? See what I
mean? This AT is all served in
private booths in the very cool but
casual hotel restaurant. You don't
Gentlemans Afternoon Tea ...

need to be a gent to enjoy this
alternaRve AT, but just in case this
doesn't oat your boat, you do
have the opRon of ordering a
'tradiRonal aQernoon tea,' (which
was also delicious...!) but don't
you get ever so slightly (or very)
jealous when your dinner date
orders' the beeer meal'! In this
case, although the tradiRonal AT
was enjoyable, the Gentleman's
AT was just so much BETTER!! I
would denitely recommend this
to anyone looking to treat a
special man - or yourself! - to a
really unique AT experience.

Interview
MEET
Sarah
from
The Chocolate
Strawberry
Sarah is one of those bakers
where you can instantly
recognise her cakes purely
through the hand cut nature and
designs of her decorations.
Cake Masters loves the cakes
that Sarah creates and presents
in a beautiful way - we are total
fans of the rather amazing
Chocolate Strawberry!
Q: Tell us about you and your family
Im 42 (which looks quite scary when its wriaen down)
married with ve year old twins.
We live very happily in a sleepy village in The Forest of
Dean, Gloucestershire. Ive always loved food and food
presenta@on, so discovering cake decora@ng has
opened up a whole new world to me.
Growing up, cooking and family meals were hugely
important. Now I have my own family, we also live in
the kitchen and our children love to cook and now
decorate cakes too. At ve years old, they think that I
am capable of making any structure that they can
imagine in cake and request more and more complex
designs on a daily basis!
13
18
Interview
Q: What is your earliest memory
of baking?
My earliest memory is baking with
my Gran, who made everything by
hand and baked on an almost
con@nual basis.
Her signature dish was a cake that
we called Granny Wests Find
The Jams, but I think are really
called Maids of Honour.
Shortcrust pastry, jam in the
boaom and sponge on top.
Intensive training for me on this
dish started at around four years
old.
If any of my family ever went
abroad in the 1970s, they were
packed o with an old Quality
Street @n packed with Find the
Jams, so that they had something
to eat on the plane. They were so
good that they were oZen
handed out through cabin.
When she died, the whole family

scaaered her ashes in Welsh
waterfall and I (on my Dad's
sugges@on) produced a large @n of
Find The Jams for the
occasion, which would have made
her laugh a lot I think.
Q: What is your baking story, how
did you get into baking?
Having stopped work in 2007 to
bring up our long awaited twins, I
had started to lose myself a bit and
the thought of returning to work
almost ve years later was frankly
terrifying.
Since weve had the children we
have moved to an area which
is incredible to live in, but work is
thin on the ground. I thought I
might be able to do something with
my love of cooking and signed up

for a course preparing people to
start their own business.
At the end of the 12 week course, I
decided that I would set-up a
small outside catering business.
The fashion for cupcakes started
me baking and the general catering
disappeared. Within a year I had
discovered all the extra decora@ng
space you get with celebra@on
cakes and now am a complete
convert.
It's been a huge learning curve with
long hours spent studying tutorials,
experimen@ng with recipes and
decora@on techniques. Talking to
other cake makers had been a
massive help. I have found the
industry to be generally very
generous with advice and
encouragement.
14
19
Interview
Q: When did you decide to start the Chocolate
Strawberry?
The business started a couple of months aZer I nished
my business course start up course. I had to take my food
hygiene exam rst and I aaended a basic book-keeping
course (not that you'd know it). I actually found that I was
making excuses not to start it through nerves. Eventually
my course tutor gave me a talking to and pointed out that
all the prepara@on was great, but eventually I did actually
have to cook something for somebody....I then started
almost immediately supplying a local cafe with cakes and
luckily was able to work every week of the rst year of
business.
Why is your business called The Chocolate Strawberry?
I have an instantly forgeaable name myself, so I wanted
an image that people could remember.
The Chocolate Strawberry sounds delicious and creates
an instant picture in your mind. Customers don't need to
remember that my name is Sarah to recommend the
business.
I get a lot of compliments about the name, so I think I've
made the right choice.
Q: What has been the most dicult

cake you have made?
I think the most dicult cake to make
was my 'Funny Liale Tortoise' cake
because it was unlike anything that I had
done before, but I enjoyed every minute.
It wasn't actually that technically dicult, but I was so
nervous that I might not be able to make it work. I really
didn't want to create a 'cartoon' type animal.

Q: What cake has meant the most to you?
The cake that meant the most was 'Our Story'. I made a
wedding cake based on the story of how my husband and
I met and married. We chose the colours and the wording
together and the whole process was really enjoyable.

What has been your best achievement to date?
The 'Our Story' cake was featured by Conde Nast's Bride
magazine straight away. I don't think I've ever felt so
proud of anything else I've done professionally. It's s@ll
featured by Brides on-line now and s@ll brings in
enquiries from all over the country.
I have also had lots of cake makers asking for permission
to reproduce the design, which is incredibly aaering.

Interview
Q: Is there anyone you would like to say thanks to?
There are so many people that I need to say
thank you to for suppor@ng me through the
rst two years.
Firstly my husband - it's a massive change to
our lifestyle running a business from the house. At @mes

Little Angels Cakes
Little Angels cakes has been set up
using cake makers and bakers
across the UK to help make free
cakes for children with life
threatening conditions.
SIGN UP TO HELP OUT
We caught up with Lucy Kelsall

Founder of Little Angels Cakes to nd
out more...
Q: What inspired you to start
Little Angels Cakes
Little Angels Cakes started from a
very simple idea. After gaining
inspiration from Icing Smiles in the
USA and searching for something
similar in the UK.
At first I didnt think many people
would be interested and thought it
would take months to get people
on board, but after a few messages
to other cakey people, it was clear
that people wanted to be involved.
After the death of my brother in
law, it hit me just how important a
little love and care can help
someone with a life threatening
illness, although my brother in law
wasnt a child, it was still heart
breaking when he finally passed
away after his battle with cancer.
He loved it when I took him a box
of cupcakes or sweet treats and
always asked for more!
After seeing several posts about
children with life threatening
illnesses and the effect a cake or a
gift could have on these children; I
wondered if I could be able to help
in some way. Thats when I read up
about Icing Smiles in the USA, I

then knew I had to do this.
donated by Wendy Pitts from

Angel Cakes of Warrington.
I have some very close cakey

friends who were willing to help
out - all had either wanted to do a
similar thing or had a loved one
with a life threatening illness.
Q: How people can get involved
To bake cakes for us you need to
be registered with Environmental
Health at your local Council. We
still welcome hobby bakers to join
in with our fund raising events,
donation of ingredients and
delivering of cakes. We also ask for
all members of the public to help
support us and spread the word.
Q: Where did your first cake go?
Our first cake was donated on the
2nd February 2013 for a little girl
called Ava Scott. Ava Scott is a
beautiful little girl who has
recently been diagnosed as having
a Ewing's Sarcoma, a cancerous
tumor in her leg.
A cake was requested for her glitter
ball fund raising event and as Ava
loved Katie Perry, the theme had to
be around that. The cake was

share in such an ac@vity, but coming
to Douglas House, a modern, hotel-

Q: What cake has meant the most to you?
I think Emalyn's rst birthday cake and my Batman
cake mean the most to me. The elephant made for
my daughter was from one of Debbie Browns
books, I am a big fan of her work, and this was the
start of my love aair with cake decora@ng. The
batman cake is the cake that made my facebook
page really take o, and put me in touch with a lot
of cake ar@sts. I made many online friends as my
name started to get recognised by more people.
Regarding my Batman cake, I am a big fan of the
movies so really enjoyed making this cake- I had
looked forward to it for about 6 months so am so
pleased that this has been my most shared cake to
date.
Q: Which has been the most dicult cake you have
made?
All of my cakes are dicult in their own way as I
always push myself out of my comfort zone, trying
something new with each and every one. probably
the most technically dicult for me was R2D2. It
was my rst cake with internal structure, I had to
buy a new drill bit for my sugarcraZ kit :) As the cake
was for my son I felt I could experiment a bit more
and
it didn't maaer too much if it didn't work out as only

MOST SHARED CAKE
ON CAKE MASTERS!
A cake that we posted last week has gone totally
viral, with over 2,318 shares and over 100,000
people seeing the cake! Congratulations to
Brownies Cakes Grimsby for creating such a great
cake that so many people could relate to!

I wanted to thank you all for helping me

break through the 40,000 likes barrier.
Facebook advertising helped us up to the
20,000 likes mark, and then it just
became too expensive. With changes to
timeline and issues with reach, I decided
to stop advertising with Facebook. To
my absolute delight, our numbers have
been growing in a strong organic manner
and I want to thank you for not only
helping me through the 40,000 LIKES
milestone, but THANK YOU ALL for
getting me through the 41,000 LIKES

As you know, Nina from Mon Cottage Cupcakes
created a cake that was featured in the Yellow

Her cake was made for a charity that Merrill

Guest Columnist
This is war! (Somebody put the
kettle on...)
Its been dark for so long Id
swear the birds are trying to
bring in the dawn, the radio is
burbling away in
soothing mellow tones only
suitable for night-time easy
listening and midnight is some
sort of fuzzy distant memory. Yet
i am stood in the middle of a
battle zone that 12 hours ago
was my kitchen embroiled in
what I can only describe as the
fight for my life. Not with a
intruder, a burglar, or a masked
stranger...but with a cake.
Yes a cake! Who knew a cake a seemingly harmless mix of
simple (quality) ingredients, a
double coating of buttercream
and a dressing of ready to roll
icing could be such a force of
evil?! Evil I tell you!
The race is most definitely on
with this 'fondant fiend' and yet
like some stubborn, belligerent
teenager it is point-blank
refusing to behave. Worse than
simply misbehaving this 'spiteful
sponge' is kicking some serious
butt!. It is beating me harder
than my mixer on full speed and
Im losing!!
On paper this cake is going to
work just fine. It makes sense, I
had even checked out YouTube
for the tutorial (!) so what could
go wrong. It is destined to work,
it is going to be brilliant. It is
going to be a GREAT cake!
More than that, Ive been looking
forward to making this cake for
months.
So why is it at silly o'clock the

night before the big family event
where I am due to unveil this
amazing, surprise creation, is it
trying to kill me? What exactly
did I do so wrong in this or a
past life that the 'bake of doom'
would hate me so much as to
systematically take me apart like
this?
Everything that can go wrong is
going wrong, the simple bits
have become some MENSA
style intellectual challenge, the
difficult bits have become
Mission Impossible only I am not
seeing Tom Cruise hanging from
my ceiling trying to help!
I dig in and fight back. I am
damned if I'm going to let Count
Calorie win!
Just as I think I have avoided
everything this 'mixture of
madness' has pelted me with,
side-stepped the clogged
airbrush, dodged the slipping
tiers, battled back from the brink
of cracked fondant failure a
thousand times over, taken on
the cake of calamity and won, it
goes and throws one last, brutal
thing at me.
At 2am, in a final willful attempt
of defiance, out of pure spite, it
throws its head at me. It cruelly
pitches forward, pulling its own
head away from its body taking
out the supporting board and
dowels with it. I manage to catch
the head as it falls by getting my
hand under the board in time
and set it down alongside its
now decapitated body.
Then I stare at it in disbelief and
the slow realisation of
By Hannah from
Made with Love by Me
resignation. I give in, this cake

has beaten me. I'm done in, its
too late, Im too tired. I simply
cannot fix it from here.
Or can I?
A few hours later (after a short
sleep) I wake with a gritted
determination, and decide that I
am in no way going to allow this
evil edible to take me down. I put
the kettle on and roll up my
sleeves. I don my apron armour
and tool up with cocktail sticks,
scissors and a paintbrush. This
mulit-tiered tower of terror may
have won the battle, I am going
to win the war though!
I set to it, I re-design, re-build,
re-crumbcoat, re-fondant, retexture and hand-paint feverishly
for the next 3 hours then deliver
on-time, unveil and present a
cake that to everyone else is
nothing more than the sweetest
of sweet Christmas cats.
I am the only one who knows
that there is NOTHING sweet or
innocent about this sugary
charlatan!
So a word of warning to my
fellow cakers - not all cakes are
as sweet as the ingredients
would suggest, some seem
almost human in their ability to
bring us to our knees and yes,
sometimes you have to walk
away from the battle.
There is no need to give in
though. Just take a break, grab a
cup of tea, take a deep breath
and come back swinging - ready
to win the war!
