Lindy Smith’s ‘Simply Modern Wedding Cakes’ Book shortlisted for Homemaker Magazine Art & Craft Book Awards 2016

18th October 2016 by Lindy Smith

I am sure, like me, you love nice surprises! My publishers recently sent me an email letting me know that my latest book ‘Simply Modern Wedding Cakes‘ has been shortlisted for an award, how wonderful. Now I know that awards seem to be two-a-penny these days but never-the-less when a nomination is a complete surprise and your work is being recognised and judged by eminent people including designers in other fields, it is some what thrilling.

The awards have 20 categories, including papercraft, crochet, gardening, the best design book and of course cake decorating. The magazine publishers say that

“It’s a chance for us to honour a variety of wonderful books that have been adored by us and the creative nation over the past 12 months”.

For each category there will be both a Winner and Highly Commended book. Winners will be announced in issue 52 (on sale 9th December) – I’ve got my fingers crossed
