No less than 500 cake decorations to make your bakes look special. Don't cakes always look better when decorated? The humble Victoria sponge with just a sprinkle of icing sugar is fine for Sunday afternoon tea, but decorate it and you elevate it to party status. This compact book starts with tools and equipment and gives both vanilla sponge and chocolate cake recipes in three sizes. Cupcake recipe is also included as well as buttercream, royal icing and sugar paste. There are tips too such as how to stack a cake, piping techniques and more ideas for decoration. The cake decorations are divided into Celebration; Birthdays; Occasions; Embellishments; Flowers; Letters and Numbers and Animals. The instructions are easy to follow and there are clear photos. Each section contains numerous cakes in all shapes and sizes. I love the Engagement Ring Box Cake; White Lace Wedding Cake, Gerbera Cupcakes; New Year Sparkler Cupcakes (more suited to Bonfire Night I thought); Moth Orchid Cake, Rose Cupcakes and more. There are variations to the decorating ideas. Be warned that some of the designs require special cutters. You'll find something for every occasion.
