Its episode 10, and to celebrate reaching double figures we have a brilliant guest....the one and only Lindy Smith! Lindy is one of Erica and Sam's long time cake heroes, so to have her on the podcast was a real honour and dead exciting. Prepare to be inspired. We recorded this episode remotely, and are relieved to say we have now found a great platform, so our sound quality is a million times better than during the first UK lockdown.What we're up toSam's Halloween photoshoot https://www.instagram.com/p/CG641ZVF1t5/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkBSG Region 8 online day of demonstrations https://www.bsgregion8se.org/Astronomy photographer of the year 2020 exhibition https://www.rmg.co.uk/whats-on/astronomy-photographer-year/galleries/2020Erica's dinosaur cake https://www.instagram.com/p/CHVTrA_glLu/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkNew thingsDinkydoodle pine cone mould https://www.dinkydoodle.co.uk/product-page/silicone-pinecone-mouldEvil Cake Genius peacock feather mould by Cake Haillday https://evilcakegenius.com/catalog/product/view/id/3645/s/peacock%20feather%20stencil%20set%20by%20cake%20halliday/category/244/House of Cake chocolate drip https://www.culpitt.com/product/sundries-essentials/chocolate/hoc-white-cake-drip-icing-180g/New colour mill shades https://www.cake-stuff.com/item/16339/ColourMill/5-NEW-COLOURS-oil-based-concentrated-icing-colouring-20ml-BUNDLE.htmlSurprise Cake, popping cake stand https://www.thecakedecoratingcompany.co.uk/presentation-storage-c36/cake-stands-c61/surprise-cake-popping-cake-stand-p11583Main FeatureLindy Smith https://lindyscakes.co.uk/about-lindy/ https://www.instagram.com/lindyscakes/Grammarly https://www.grammarly.com/Lindy's new book.

October is Black History Month in the UK, so we thought we'd talk about diversity in the Cake Industry. It's a massive subject and we only really have time here to skim the surface. Where are we falling down, what could we do better, and who should have a higher profile than they do? With the big cake show Cake International moving online this year, there hasn't been much in the way of new things, but Sam and Erica have plenty of ideas for products scattered across the episode! If you do take any of these products further, be sure to send us a freebie
