What two great workshops we have just had In May we had Pam Lane over from Adelaide to help us run a workshop on entering a cake decorating competition This workshop facilitated by Jan Murphy provided all those who attended with lots of information and a fun afternoon on the highs and lows of entering a competition Our members imaginations were put to the test and see the winning entry in this issue
Pam also took the time to do two demonstrations for us a David Austin Rose and a little Happy Feet character If you havenrsquot tried these little penguins yet they are a must and I just had a go making them out of marzipan stu$ed with a macadamia kernel and sat on top of rum infused red velvet cupcakes topped with cream cheese icing and they were the hit of the party see my photo in this issue
Our next workshop in June saw our members tackle sugar owers with training wheels and all took home a nished clem-atis with lots of hints and tips along the way
Coming up in July is Cakeric and we need TampC members to help man the stall on the Sunday contact Adrien or Adel (contact details in this magazine) for further information on dates and timing but your help in the form of a three hour block will be gratefully appreciated
Now to our next workshop in August this will be absolutely lots of fun in creating an Hawaiian fancy shirt for Fathers Day The workshop will be held in Mulgrave Community House from 1-4pm and requirement list will be attached to the invitation that will be sent out soon
Now to a major event for us the AGM is in September and we need you to step up and come on board the committee All positions are vacant and if you will like any further information contact either Adel or myself to have a chat Love to hear from you and it is great fun organising our events Also at this meeting is where we need to hear from you in what you want Yes we can organise workshops on what ldquowe think you wantrdquo but given we have over 100 members in our branch and only about 20 turn up at each workshop what andor who do you want to see happen in your Branch

Which Branch do you belong to I am a member of the Eastern Branch and have been a member for 6
months
When did you start cake decorating I started cake decorating fresh cream cakes back in 1996 (eekso long ago) I have been decorating sugarpasted cakes for 3 years What got you interested in cake decorating I got interested in cake decorating by landing a job in the industry I didnt really know what I wanted to do as a career I moved to London for 4 years where I was able to watch and manage some amazing cake artists at a popular London cake company I dabbled in creating cakes
over there but I was there to manage the team
What do you love most about cake decorating is creating something special for someones special day weather it be a wedding or a birthday
What do you love least about cake decorating What I love least is when things go wrongWe create things out of
sugar unfortunately sometimes things dont go accordinly to plan
Who is your cake idol and why mmmmmm My cake idol my god I have so many Probably two people i used to work with at Cakes 4 Fun London one is Victoria Gadsdon from Victorias Kitchen in London who specialises in cup-cakes they are just divine Her work is always so cleanneat and has a very distinctive style=LOVE My other idol would be Pervin Isik of Elegateau who is an amazing royal icer Denately will be up there with Eddie Spence one day What I love about Pervin is I have been able to see a lot of her journey and know how hard she works to get to the
unbelievable standard she now achieves

If you could give fellow decorators one tip what would it be A handy tip would be to back yourself and be yourself and dont sweat the small stu$ Ive only just developed the condence to really back myself when irsquom working on the cakes I create We all roll a ball di$ernently or see things di$erently thats why we all look at each others work with delight while saying to ourselves ldquowhy didnt i think of thatrdquo hehe
If you would like to take more cake classes what would they be More classes there is never enough I was luckly enough in the UK attend a Royal Icing masterclass with Eddie Spence MBE an amazing 3 day workshopif you ever head to London its a mustbut at the moment Irsquom wanting to learn structure cakes Mikes Amazing cakes are really
amazing I would love to be able to do one of his classes one day

lsquoNot for Protrsquo ndash what does it mean
One of the most recent queries I have heard when talking about our Society with di$erent people is ndash what exactly is intended and expected if we are lsquonot for protrsquo Well hopefully this article claries it for everyone
A Not-for-Prot organisation is one which does not operate for the prot personal gain or benet of particular people The denition applies even if an organisation has been wound up Sta$ or responsible persons of the organisation can be paid a reasonable wage ndash for the Society all positions at both State and Branch Committee levels and the appointments of those Committees (eg Editor) are voluntary
A not-for-prot organisation can make prot but any prot made must be applied for the organisations purpose(s) Any prot made can be retained (or any portion of it) as long as there is good reason for it ndash for example in the case of the State Committee nances we need to maintain a level of income in order to meet our Public Liability and Volunteer insurance levies our aliation fees with the Australian National Cake Decorating Association and producing our newsletter to name a few items
Branches need operating capital in order to cover hall hire expenses If an organisation continues to retain signicant prots indenitely without applying this to its purpose this may indicate the organisation is not solely working towards its purpose
According to the ATO any prot made by a not-for-prot organisation goes back into the operation of the organisation to carry out its purpose and is not distributed to any of its Members
Not forProt
This is not to say that when bringing in a demonstratorworkshop facilitator you must not pay them or cannot pay them for the time e$ort expertise and prepara-tion they have made for your event
As we abide by the Model Rules for Incorporated Associations we have included by default in our constitution that we will not distribute to our members any prot or assets of the Society ndash whether operating or not (This is the dissolution clause) Looking at the ATOrsquos examples of not-for-prot organisations we would seem to t in the category of ldquoscientic societiesrdquo afterall wouldnrsquot you agree we all enjoy dabbling in the science of Sugar
This is all quite legalistic for us but simply ndash the Societyrsquos purpose is to share and encourage Sugar Art and to do so our Branches for the most part are the ones who organise events for a fee in order to cover the obligations ndash costs ndash of providing that event and engaging artists willing to share their skills and experience Any prot from these fees and frequently the raes run at workshops can then be used to form the basis of the next event or procure a Guest to a bigger event later on
So do of course make the most of what is on o$er and attend as many and as varied workshops you can get to this is how we re-invest the prots (ifwhen any) back into our purpose and what we exist for

lsquoNot for Protrsquo ndash what does it mean
One of the most recent queries I have heard when talking about our Society with di$erent people is ndash what exactly is intended and expected if we are lsquonot for protrsquo Well hopefully this article claries it for everyone
A Not-for-Prot organisation is one which does not operate for the prot personal gain or benet of particular people The denition applies even if an organisation has been wound up Sta$ or responsible persons of the organisation can be paid a reasonable wage ndash for the Society all positions at both State and Branch Committee levels and the appointments of those Committees (eg Editor) are voluntary
A not-for-prot organisation can make prot but any prot made must be applied for the organisations purpose(s) Any prot made can be retained (or any portion of it) as long as there is good reason for it ndash for example in the case of the State Committee nances we need to maintain a level of income in order to meet our Public Liability and Volunteer insurance levies our aliation fees with the Australian National Cake Decorating Association and producing our newsletter to name a few items
Branches need operating capital in order to cover hall hire expenses If an organisation continues to retain signicant prots indenitely without applying this to its purpose this may indicate the organisation is not solely working towards its purpose
According to the ATO any prot made by a not-for-prot organisation goes back into the operation of the organisation to carry out its purpose and is not distributed to any of its Members
Not forProt
This is not to say that when bringing in a demonstratorworkshop facilitator you must not pay them or cannot pay them for the time e$ort expertise and prepara-tion they have made for your event
As we abide by the Model Rules for Incorporated Associations we have included by default in our constitution that we will not distribute to our members any prot or assets of the Society ndash whether operating or not (This is the dissolution clause) Looking at the ATOrsquos examples of not-for-prot organisations we would seem to t in the category of ldquoscientic societiesrdquo afterall wouldnrsquot you agree we all enjoy dabbling in the science of Sugar
This is all quite legalistic for us but simply ndash the Societyrsquos purpose is to share and encourage Sugar Art and to do so our Branches for the most part are the ones who organise events for a fee in order to cover the obligations ndash costs ndash of providing that event and engaging artists willing to share their skills and experience Any prot from these fees and frequently the raes run at workshops can then be used to form the basis of the next event or procure a Guest to a bigger event later on
So do of course make the most of what is on o$er and attend as many and as varied workshops you can get to this is how we re-invest the prots (ifwhen any) back into our purpose and what we exist for

What two great workshops we have just had In May we had Pam Lane over from Adelaide to help us run a workshop on entering a cake decorating competition This workshop facilitated by Jan Murphy provided all those who attended with lots of information and a fun afternoon on the highs and lows of entering a competition Our members imaginations were put to the test and see the winning entry in this issue
Pam also took the time to do two demonstrations for us a David Austin Rose and a little Happy Feet character If you havenrsquot tried these little penguins yet they are a must and I just had a go making them out of marzipan stu$ed with a macadamia kernel and sat on top of rum infused red velvet cupcakes topped with cream cheese icing and they were the hit of the party see my photo in this issue
Our next workshop in June saw our members tackle sugar owers with training wheels and all took home a nished clem-atis with lots of hints and tips along the way
Coming up in July is Cakeric and we need TampC members to help man the stall on the Sunday contact Adrien or Adel (contact details in this magazine) for further information on dates and timing but your help in the form of a three hour block will be gratefully appreciated
Now to our next workshop in August this will be absolutely lots of fun in creating an Hawaiian fancy shirt for Fathers Day The workshop will be held in Mulgrave Community House from 1-4pm and requirement list will be attached to the invitation that will be sent out soon
Now to a major event for us the AGM is in September and we need you to step up and come on board the committee All positions are vacant and if you will like any further information contact either Adel or myself to have a chat Love to hear from you and it is great fun organising our events Also at this meeting is where we need to hear from you in what you want Yes we can organise workshops on what ldquowe think you wantrdquo but given we have over 100 members in our branch and only about 20 turn up at each workshop what andor who do you want to see happen in your Branch

Which Branch do you belong to I am a member of the Eastern Branch and have been a member for 6
months
When did you start cake decorating I started cake decorating fresh cream cakes back in 1996 (eekso long ago) I have been decorating sugarpasted cakes for 3 years What got you interested in cake decorating I got interested in cake decorating by landing a job in the industry I didnt really know what I wanted to do as a career I moved to London for 4 years where I was able to watch and manage some amazing cake artists at a popular London cake company I dabbled in creating cakes
over there but I was there to manage the team
What do you love most about cake decorating is creating something special for someones special day weather it be a wedding or a birthday
What do you love least about cake decorating What I love least is when things go wrongWe create things out of
sugar unfortunately sometimes things dont go accordinly to plan
Who is your cake idol and why mmmmmm My cake idol my god I have so many Probably two people i used to work with at Cakes 4 Fun London one is Victoria Gadsdon from Victorias Kitchen in London who specialises in cup-cakes they are just divine Her work is always so cleanneat and has a very distinctive style=LOVE My other idol would be Pervin Isik of Elegateau who is an amazing royal icer Denately will be up there with Eddie Spence one day What I love about Pervin is I have been able to see a lot of her journey and know how hard she works to get to the
unbelievable standard she now achieves

If you could give fellow decorators one tip what would it be A handy tip would be to back yourself and be yourself and dont sweat the small stu$ Ive only just developed the condence to really back myself when irsquom working on the cakes I create We all roll a ball di$ernently or see things di$erently thats why we all look at each others work with delight while saying to ourselves ldquowhy didnt i think of thatrdquo hehe
If you would like to take more cake classes what would they be More classes there is never enough I was luckly enough in the UK attend a Royal Icing masterclass with Eddie Spence MBE an amazing 3 day workshopif you ever head to London its a mustbut at the moment Irsquom wanting to learn structure cakes Mikes Amazing cakes are really
amazing I would love to be able to do one of his classes one day

Which Branch do you belong to I am a member of the Eastern Branch and have been a member for 6
months
When did you start cake decorating I started cake decorating fresh cream cakes back in 1996 (eekso long ago) I have been decorating sugarpasted cakes for 3 years What got you interested in cake decorating I got interested in cake decorating by landing a job in the industry I didnt really know what I wanted to do as a career I moved to London for 4 years where I was able to watch and manage some amazing cake artists at a popular London cake company I dabbled in creating cakes
over there but I was there to manage the team
What do you love most about cake decorating is creating something special for someones special day weather it be a wedding or a birthday
What do you love least about cake decorating What I love least is when things go wrongWe create things out of
sugar unfortunately sometimes things dont go accordinly to plan
Who is your cake idol and why mmmmmm My cake idol my god I have so many Probably two people i used to work with at Cakes 4 Fun London one is Victoria Gadsdon from Victorias Kitchen in London who specialises in cup-cakes they are just divine Her work is always so cleanneat and has a very distinctive style=LOVE My other idol would be Pervin Isik of Elegateau who is an amazing royal icer Denately will be up there with Eddie Spence one day What I love about Pervin is I have been able to see a lot of her journey and know how hard she works to get to the
unbelievable standard she now achieves

If you could give fellow decorators one tip what would it be A handy tip would be to back yourself and be yourself and dont sweat the small stu$ Ive only just developed the condence to really back myself when irsquom working on the cakes I create We all roll a ball di$ernently or see things di$erently thats why we all look at each others work with delight while saying to ourselves ldquowhy didnt i think of thatrdquo hehe
If you would like to take more cake classes what would they be More classes there is never enough I was luckly enough in the UK attend a Royal Icing masterclass with Eddie Spence MBE an amazing 3 day workshopif you ever head to London its a mustbut at the moment Irsquom wanting to learn structure cakes Mikes Amazing cakes are really
amazing I would love to be able to do one of his classes one day

lsquoNot for Protrsquo ndash what does it mean
One of the most recent queries I have heard when talking about our Society with di$erent people is ndash what exactly is intended and expected if we are lsquonot for protrsquo Well hopefully this article claries it for everyone
A Not-for-Prot organisation is one which does not operate for the prot personal gain or benet of particular people The denition applies even if an organisation has been wound up Sta$ or responsible persons of the organisation can be paid a reasonable wage ndash for the Society all positions at both State and Branch Committee levels and the appointments of those Committees (eg Editor) are voluntary
A not-for-prot organisation can make prot but any prot made must be applied for the organisations purpose(s) Any prot made can be retained (or any portion of it) as long as there is good reason for it ndash for example in the case of the State Committee nances we need to maintain a level of income in order to meet our Public Liability and Volunteer insurance levies our aliation fees with the Australian National Cake Decorating Association and producing our newsletter to name a few items
Branches need operating capital in order to cover hall hire expenses If an organisation continues to retain signicant prots indenitely without applying this to its purpose this may indicate the organisation is not solely working towards its purpose
According to the ATO any prot made by a not-for-prot organisation goes back into the operation of the organisation to carry out its purpose and is not distributed to any of its Members
Not forProt
This is not to say that when bringing in a demonstratorworkshop facilitator you must not pay them or cannot pay them for the time e$ort expertise and prepara-tion they have made for your event
As we abide by the Model Rules for Incorporated Associations we have included by default in our constitution that we will not distribute to our members any prot or assets of the Society ndash whether operating or not (This is the dissolution clause) Looking at the ATOrsquos examples of not-for-prot organisations we would seem to t in the category of ldquoscientic societiesrdquo afterall wouldnrsquot you agree we all enjoy dabbling in the science of Sugar
This is all quite legalistic for us but simply ndash the Societyrsquos purpose is to share and encourage Sugar Art and to do so our Branches for the most part are the ones who organise events for a fee in order to cover the obligations ndash costs ndash of providing that event and engaging artists willing to share their skills and experience Any prot from these fees and frequently the raes run at workshops can then be used to form the basis of the next event or procure a Guest to a bigger event later on
So do of course make the most of what is on o$er and attend as many and as varied workshops you can get to this is how we re-invest the prots (ifwhen any) back into our purpose and what we exist for

Most Branches will get through their AGMs these next two months so we all look forward to seeing some new faces in with the old to keep the good times coming It really is critical that fresh blood steps in as you bring new ideas and concepts with you it just needs a commitment to a short 12 month cycle and working with the rest of the committee to make the job manageable Without our Committees Branch and State there is no Society and no Workshops for anyone to enjoy as we dohellip SO give it a try
Hope you all have 26 October in your diaries yes itrsquos a Sunday as this is our State AGM where such things as the incoming Committee and Membership prices are decided and conrmed for the next year For the Committee all positions are declared vacant at this meeting ndash if you are keen please send in your nomination and seconder to victoriancakesocietygmailcom Otherwise if you think you may be interested to take on a role please do not hesitate to contact any of the current Committee for information This Committee is particularly critical as without it we cannot legally continue so what we need is YOU
At this time there are still spaces and need for volunteers at Cakeric 18-20 July at Cauleld Racecourse Please contact Adrien (me) or Cheryl East if available for the Friday 18th For Saturday 19th please contact Erin or Justine at Eastern Branch and for Sunday 20th please contact Adel at TownampCountry ndash you donrsquot have to be members of these to volunteer on any particular day With sucient people helping there will be ample time for a look yourself and breaks it was fabulous fun but busy last year We also need your display pieces to show o people enjoy looking at these as much as anything else Please contact Adrien for display pieces details on setup and collection It was our friendly and numerous volunteers which really made the grade last year to engage all those cakers out there So I look forward to hearing from you soonMay your Art be Sugar Art

What two great workshops we have just had In May we had Pam Lane over from Adelaide to help us run a workshop on entering a cake decorating competition This workshop facilitated by Jan Murphy provided all those who attended with lots of information and a fun afternoon on the highs and lows of entering a competition Our members imaginations were put to the test and see the winning entry in this issue
Pam also took the time to do two demonstrations for us a David Austin Rose and a little Happy Feet character If you havenrsquot tried these little penguins yet they are a must and I just had a go making them out of marzipan stu$ed with a macadamia kernel and sat on top of rum infused red velvet cupcakes topped with cream cheese icing and they were the hit of the party see my photo in this issue
Our next workshop in June saw our members tackle sugar owers with training wheels and all took home a nished clem-atis with lots of hints and tips along the way
Coming up in July is Cakeric and we need TampC members to help man the stall on the Sunday contact Adrien or Adel (contact details in this magazine) for further information on dates and timing but your help in the form of a three hour block will be gratefully appreciated
Now to our next workshop in August this will be absolutely lots of fun in creating an Hawaiian fancy shirt for Fathers Day The workshop will be held in Mulgrave Community House from 1-4pm and requirement list will be attached to the invitation that will be sent out soon
Now to a major event for us the AGM is in September and we need you to step up and come on board the committee All positions are vacant and if you will like any further information contact either Adel or myself to have a chat Love to hear from you and it is great fun organising our events Also at this meeting is where we need to hear from you in what you want Yes we can organise workshops on what ldquowe think you wantrdquo but given we have over 100 members in our branch and only about 20 turn up at each workshop what andor who do you want to see happen in your Branch
Look forward to hearing from you and seeing you at one of the workshops

lsquoNot for Protrsquo ndash what does it mean
One of the most recent queries I have heard when talking about our Society with di$erent people is ndash what exactly is intended and expected if we are lsquonot for protrsquo Well hopefully this article claries it for everyone
A Not-for-Prot organisation is one which does not operate for the prot personal gain or benet of particular people The denition applies even if an organisation has been wound up Sta$ or responsible persons of the organisation can be paid a reasonable wage ndash for the Society all positions at both State and Branch Committee levels and the appointments of those Committees (eg Editor) are voluntary
A not-for-prot organisation can make prot but any prot made must be applied for the organisations purpose(s) Any prot made can be retained (or any portion of it) as long as there is good reason for it ndash for example in the case of the State Committee nances we need to maintain a level of income in order to meet our Public Liability and Volunteer insurance levies our aliation fees with the Australian National Cake Decorating Association and producing our newsletter to name a few items
Branches need operating capital in order to cover hall hire expenses If an organisation continues to retain signicant prots indenitely without applying this to its purpose this may indicate the organisation is not solely working towards its purpose
According to the ATO any prot made by a not-for-prot organisation goes back into the operation of the organisation to carry out its purpose and is not distributed to any of its Members
Not forProt
This is not to say that when bringing in a demonstratorworkshop facilitator you must not pay them or cannot pay them for the time e$ort expertise and prepara-tion they have made for your event
As we abide by the Model Rules for Incorporated Associations we have included by default in our constitution that we will not distribute to our members any prot or assets of the Society ndash whether operating or not (This is the dissolution clause) Looking at the ATOrsquos examples of not-for-prot organisations we would seem to t in the category of ldquoscientic societiesrdquo afterall wouldnrsquot you agree we all enjoy dabbling in the science of Sugar
This is all quite legalistic for us but simply ndash the Societyrsquos purpose is to share and encourage Sugar Art and to do so our Branches for the most part are the ones who organise events for a fee in order to cover the obligations ndash costs ndash of providing that event and engaging artists willing to share their skills and experience Any prot from these fees and frequently the raes run at workshops can then be used to form the basis of the next event or procure a Guest to a bigger event later on
So do of course make the most of what is on o$er and attend as many and as varied workshops you can get to this is how we re-invest the prots (ifwhen any) back into our purpose and what we exist for

What two great workshops we have just had In May we had Pam Lane over from Adelaide to help us run a workshop on entering a cake decorating competition This workshop facilitated by Jan Murphy provided all those who attended with lots of information and a fun afternoon on the highs and lows of entering a competition Our members imaginations were put to the test and see the winning entry in this issue
Pam also took the time to do two demonstrations for us a David Austin Rose and a little Happy Feet character If you havenrsquot tried these little penguins yet they are a must and I just had a go making them out of marzipan stu$ed with a macadamia kernel and sat on top of rum infused red velvet cupcakes topped with cream cheese icing and they were the hit of the party see my photo in this issue
Our next workshop in June saw our members tackle sugar owers with training wheels and all took home a nished clem-atis with lots of hints and tips along the way
Coming up in July is Cakeric and we need TampC members to help man the stall on the Sunday contact Adrien or Adel (contact details in this magazine) for further information on dates and timing but your help in the form of a three hour block will be gratefully appreciated
Now to our next workshop in August this will be absolutely lots of fun in creating an Hawaiian fancy shirt for Fathers Day The workshop will be held in Mulgrave Community House from 1-4pm and requirement list will be attached to the invitation that will be sent out soon
Now to a major event for us the AGM is in September and we need you to step up and come on board the committee All positions are vacant and if you will like any further information contact either Adel or myself to have a chat Love to hear from you and it is great fun organising our events Also at this meeting is where we need to hear from you in what you want Yes we can organise workshops on what ldquowe think you wantrdquo but given we have over 100 members in our branch and only about 20 turn up at each workshop what andor who do you want to see happen in your Branch

When did you start cake decorating I started cake decorating fresh cream cakes back in 1996 (eekso long ago) I have been decorating sugarpasted cakes for 3 years What got you interested in cake decorating I got interested in cake decorating by landing a job in the industry I didnt really know what I wanted to do as a career I moved to London for 4 years where I was able to watch and manage some amazing cake artists at a popular London cake company I dabbled in creating cakes
over there but I was there to manage the team
What do you love most about cake decorating is creating something special for someones special day weather it be a wedding or a birthday
What do you love least about cake decorating What I love least is when things go wrongWe create things out of
sugar unfortunately sometimes things dont go accordinly to plan
Who is your cake idol and why mmmmmm My cake idol my god I have so many Probably two people i used to work with at Cakes 4 Fun London one is Victoria Gadsdon from Victorias Kitchen in London who specialises in cup-cakes they are just divine Her work is always so cleanneat and has a very distinctive style=LOVE My other idol would be Pervin Isik of Elegateau who is an amazing royal icer Denately will be up there with Eddie Spence one day What I love about Pervin is I have been able to see a lot of her journey and know how hard she works to get to the

Which Branch do you belong to I am a member of the Eastern Branch and have been a member for 6
months
When did you start cake decorating I started cake decorating fresh cream cakes back in 1996 (eekso long ago) I have been decorating sugarpasted cakes for 3 years What got you interested in cake decorating I got interested in cake decorating by landing a job in the industry I didnt really know what I wanted to do as a career I moved to London for 4 years where I was able to watch and manage some amazing cake artists at a popular London cake company I dabbled in creating cakes
over there but I was there to manage the team
What do you love most about cake decorating is creating something special for someones special day weather it be a wedding or a birthday
What do you love least about cake decorating What I love least is when things go wrongWe create things out of
sugar unfortunately sometimes things dont go accordinly to plan
Who is your cake idol and why mmmmmm My cake idol my god I have so many Probably two people i used to work with at Cakes 4 Fun London one is Victoria Gadsdon from Victorias Kitchen in London who specialises in cup-cakes they are just divine Her work is always so cleanneat and has a very distinctive style=LOVE My other idol would be Pervin Isik of Elegateau who is an amazing royal icer Denately will be up there with Eddie Spence one day What I love about Pervin is I have been able to see a lot of her journey and know how hard she works to get to the
unbelievable standard she now achieves

If you would like to take more cake classes what would they be More classes there is never enough I was luckly enough in the UK attend a Royal Icing masterclass with Eddie Spence MBE an amazing 3 day workshopif you ever head to London its a mustbut at the moment Irsquom wanting to learn structure cakes Mikes Amazing cakes are really

lsquoNot for Protrsquo ndash what does it mean
One of the most recent queries I have heard when talking about our Society with di$erent people is ndash what exactly is intended and expected if we are lsquonot for protrsquo Well hopefully this article claries it for everyone
A Not-for-Prot organisation is one which does not operate for the prot personal gain or benet of particular people The denition applies even if an organisation has been wound up Sta$ or responsible persons of the organisation can be paid a reasonable wage ndash for the Society all positions at both State and Branch Committee levels and the appointments of those Committees (eg Editor) are voluntary
A not-for-prot organisation can make prot but any prot made must be applied for the organisations purpose(s) Any prot made can be retained (or any portion of it) as long as there is good reason for it ndash for example in the case of the State Committee nances we need to maintain a level of income in order to meet our Public Liability and Volunteer insurance levies our aliation fees with the Australian National Cake Decorating Association and producing our newsletter to name a few items
Branches need operating capital in order to cover hall hire expenses If an organisation continues to retain signicant prots indenitely without applying this to its purpose this may indicate the organisation is not solely working towards its purpose
According to the ATO any prot made by a not-for-prot organisation goes back into the operation of the organisation to carry out its purpose and is not distributed to any of its Members
Not forProt
This is not to say that when bringing in a demonstratorworkshop facilitator you must not pay them or cannot pay them for the time e$ort expertise and prepara-tion they have made for your event
As we abide by the Model Rules for Incorporated Associations we have included by default in our constitution that we will not distribute to our members any prot or assets of the Society ndash whether operating or not (This is the dissolution clause) Looking at the ATOrsquos examples of not-for-prot organisations we would seem to t in the category of ldquoscientic societiesrdquo afterall wouldnrsquot you agree we all enjoy dabbling in the science of Sugar
This is all quite legalistic for us but simply ndash the Societyrsquos purpose is to share and encourage Sugar Art and to do so our Branches for the most part are the ones who organise events for a fee in order to cover the obligations ndash costs ndash of providing that event and engaging artists willing to share their skills and experience Any prot from these fees and frequently the raes run at workshops can then be used to form the basis of the next event or procure a Guest to a bigger event later on
So do of course make the most of what is on o$er and attend as many and as varied workshops you can get to this is how we re-invest the prots (ifwhen any) back into our purpose and what we exist for

lsquoNot for Protrsquo ndash what does it mean
One of the most recent queries I have heard when talking about our Society with di$erent people is ndash what exactly is intended and expected if we are lsquonot for protrsquo Well hopefully this article claries it for everyone
A Not-for-Prot organisation is one which does not operate for the prot personal gain or benet of particular people The denition applies even if an organisation has been wound up Sta$ or responsible persons of the organisation can be paid a reasonable wage ndash for the Society all positions at both State and Branch Committee levels and the appointments of those Committees (eg Editor) are voluntary
A not-for-prot organisation can make prot but any prot made must be applied for the organisations purpose(s) Any prot made can be retained (or any portion of it) as long as there is good reason for it ndash for example in the case of the State Committee nances we need to maintain a level of income in order to meet our Public Liability and Volunteer insurance levies our aliation fees with the Australian National Cake Decorating Association and producing our newsletter to name a few items
Branches need operating capital in order to cover hall hire expenses If an organisation continues to retain signicant prots indenitely without applying this to its purpose this may indicate the organisation is not solely working towards its purpose
According to the ATO any prot made by a not-for-prot organisation goes back into the operation of the organisation to carry out its purpose and is not distributed to any of its Members
Not forProt
This is not to say that when bringing in a demonstratorworkshop facilitator you must not pay them or cannot pay them for the time e$ort expertise and prepara-tion they have made for your event

This is not to say that when bringing in a demonstratorworkshop facilitator you must not pay them or cannot pay them for the time e$ort expertise and prepara-tion they have made for your event
As we abide by the Model Rules for Incorporated Associations we have included by default in our constitution that we will not distribute to our members any prot or assets of the Society ndash whether operating or not (This is the dissolution clause) Looking at the ATOrsquos examples of not-for-prot organisations we would seem to t in the category of ldquoscientic societiesrdquo afterall wouldnrsquot you agree we all enjoy dabbling in the science of Sugar
This is all quite legalistic for us but simply ndash the Societyrsquos purpose is to share and encourage Sugar Art and to do so our Branches for the most part are the ones who organise events for a fee in order to cover the obligations ndash costs ndash of providing that event and engaging artists willing to share their skills and experience Any prot from these fees and frequently the raes run at workshops can then be used to form the basis of the next event or procure a Guest to a bigger event later on
So do of course make the most of what is on o$er and attend as many and as varied workshops you can get to this is how we re-invest the prots (ifwhen any) back into our purpose and what we exist for
