      Perfection! I’ve made this many times over the years. Great with a little raspberry sauce.

Publishers Text

A Jackson Pollock-inspired cheesecake splattered with chocolate, caramel, and peanut butter icing...candy-colored cupcakes adorned with plump bees...a cake comprised of three neon-bright layers, each tilted at a jaunty angle and adorned with edible chocolate candles...Whimsical bakehouse introduces a refreshing sense of fun to the art of cake decoration, presenting colorful, offbeat designs and simplified methods for making the spectacular confections that are the centerpieces of the best celebrations.


The cakes in this book require no special equipment, esoteric concoctions, or inedible tidbits. Innovative decorating techniques tailored to the skills of home bakers are explained in step-by-step detail and make use of simple ingredients like buttercreams, whipped cream, and chocolate applied with a paintbrush, Progressing from beginners' basics to elaborate creations, all recipes include templates and recommended batters, fillings, and icings, as well as variations and tips on techniques.
