Media Reviews
How many times have you looked at or bought a ready-made, supermarket birthday cake for your child? How many times has the same cake appeared at different parties? Escape the commercialism and create your own with this easy-to-follow book. Cakes for all ages and tastes are included in this wonderfully illustrated guide. Using both ready-made and home-baked sponges and biscuits, the author leads you through all possible permutations to create a fantasy cake for your child. Ballet shoes for little girls, eyeball cakes for little boys, Humpty Dumptys, numbers, clowns and space bugs are but a few contained within these pages. All cakes, once the basic components are gathered, should take no longer than 30 minutes to put together and the results are almost guaranteed, so easy and innovative are the instructions. And many of the ingredients used are ready-made meaning no more trying to make smooth icing or using a piping bag to write messages. So spoil your child with an individually created cake. After all, it is their special day and a special cake to be shared with special friends will ensure a birthday to be remembered for years to come. - Lucy Watson
