Katrien loves chocolate and uses it in cake decorating because it not only tastes delicious, but is so versatile. In this book she shows you how to create beautifully decorated cakes: fresh, contemporary, fun and irresistible. It is filled with techniques and ideas for everyone, whether you just want to decorate a ready-made cake or use one of the scrumptious recipes in the book to bake it from scratch, whether you only bake occasionally or do it for a living. Whether you buy a ready-made cake or take the time to lovingly bake your own cake from the luscious recipes at the end of this book, whether you only bake occasionally or bake for profit, I would like to teach you a few techniques which, once mastered, will give you the ability to decorate your cake quickly and easily to be a show-stopper on any occasion. With more than 20 original decorating designs to copy, as well as smaller chocolate decorations, mini cakes and cupcakes, all demonstrated with clear, step-by-step photographs, you will quickly learn to create your own show-stoppers. Katrien also shares a host of hints and shortcuts resulting from years of experimenting to find the best ingredients and techniques for perfect results. Tried and tested recipes for cakes as well as scrumptious fillings, guidelines for portion sizes and templates for deco-rations all contribute to making this an essential addition to the library of any baking enthusiast. The contents include: Basic techniques; equipment; types of chocolate; working with chocolate; filling and coating cakes; stacking cakes; decorating a cake board; cake designs; basic recipes; cutting and serving; transporting and storing; portion guide; templates.
