Cake Decorating Book

The Essential Guide to Cake Decorating

Whitecap Books, Ltd. (Softcover)

The only thing more impressive than the exhaustive detail in this information-packed guide is the creative mastery displayed in the amazing and bountiful photographs. This is a book that more than lives up to its "Essential" title. No fundamental skill of baking or decorating cakes has been left out, and no reader of this book can escape from its pages without being motivated to new creative heights.

This book could easily be assigned as a text to aspiring pastry chefs in culinary academies. The book is well founded in classic techniques and methods. Far beyond butter cream and sugar paste, the book dares to delve below the icing and proposes dazzling flights of confectionary fancy. For the young and young at heart, a detailed section on sugar modeling will

inspire your cakes into a realm of delightful sculpture. Originally published in Australia, both metric and English equivalents are included in the basic recipes, and some terminology may be new to home cooks in the States.
