Publishers Text

This cookery book opens with a section of photographs of cakes from around the world. The book contains cakes for every occasion, including a light airy sponge for afternoon tea, sticky Middle Eastern baklava to accompany coffee, children's party cakes, Italian and Russian treats for Christmas or Easter, and an elaborate French croquembouche for a summer wedding. Easy-to-follow photographic sequences demonstrate every essential baking and decorating technique, from the initial creaming, whisking and blending, to the finishing decorative touches, such as piping rosettes and crystallizing flowers. Key stages are annotated and comprehensive trouble-shooting remedies show exactly what to do if something goes wrong. A feast for the eyes, this book is a practical and inspirational guide to the art of baking and decorating aimed at beginner and expert alike. It includes over 100 recipes and decorative ideas.
