In a slight change from the advertised episode, we are talking about sugarpaste this month. What ones do you use? What do you want to try? How would better product descriptions help us shop smarter? And why are there so few nut free / Fairtrade / palm oil free options in a market with so many sugarpastes? Head over to our instagram to share your thoughts.

Hello! How are you? It's about time we asked :) Episode 18 is all about cookies and biscuits. They are definitely back in fashion, and great for a fun project, celebrations of any size or a unique gift. Join Erica and Sam as they discuss their time making cookies - Sam will tell you about her experiment freezing cookies with edible prints on. Meanwhile Erica will give you a good idea of how to store your cookies. Find out who are our Ones to Watch in the world of sugarcraft and catch up on the latest trends and products to hit the caking world this month. Tune in while you cake or on your daily commute, wherever you are we are happy for you to join us and listen to what we've been up to!
We had to re record Sam's One to Watch this month due to the drilling, so if you think it sounds a little different and Erica is rather quiet at this point, you'd be right 🤣

Can you believe it’s been a year since we started The Sugarcraft Junkies? Neither can we. In this episode we recap our lessons learned in the first year and how we went about starting the podcast, in case any of you fancy giving it a bash too. There LOADS of new stuff (at last!) and although the national lockdown continues, we have actually done a few news worthy things. Thanks for being with us on our first year, we hope you have enjoyed it as much as we have.

If you haven’t listened to Part One, we suggest listening to that first, as this is the second half of that conversation. Episode 12 features Sam’s Christmas mishaps and Erica’s Christmas cake disasters, along with all our regular features, and as always, we bring you two more exciting Ones To Watch.

Hello cake friends! Its our last episode of 2020 and this month we are talking sustainability. What can we recycle? What do we want from manufacturers? What can you do that makes a difference but doesn't cost loads of money? We talked for flipping ages so we have split this over two episodes, this is part one. Part two will be in January 2021.
Wishing you all a peaceful Christmas and a happy and healthy 2021.

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.

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 😊

Welcome to Episode 5! This month we discuss starting our cake businesses, opening and closing a cake shop, the pitfalls of buying formers on Ebay, and much more.What does registering with the council actually involve? How scary are the Environmental Health inspections? How should you design your logo? We've got loads of new stuff to chat about too. We splashed out on a new USB microphone so the sound quality will be better while we are still recording over Zoom. Sam can now spend a little less time editing, adjusting the sound levels, and little more time running? Well, maybe..
