This is a devilishly delicious collection of 20 original cakes with a wicked sense of humour. The opposite of sugary, "Twisted Cakes" subverts cute cupcakes and celebration cakes to produce designs with a nod to the dark side, all executed with a wicked sense of humour. The 20 wacky wonders include stabbed cupcakes, eyeball mini cakes, a Venus fly trap plant, Siamese pigs and a rack of lamb cake. There are cakes for Halloween that could have come straight from a haunted house - a tombstone, a creepy clown or a severed arm. Prefer pretty with a twist? Then choose a Mexican Day of the Dead skull cake or a pinned butterfly. Or bring out your inner sadist with the Terrified Teddy cake. There's even an alternative wedding cake with a heart tattoo theme and a frosty split cake to mark a break-up. Each cake comes with easy-to-follow, illustrated step-by-step instructions as well as fold-out design templates. The 20 original designs range from simple to challenging and will appeal to both new and experienced cake decorators.
