Synopsis

Covering everything from birthdays and baby showers to friendship celebrations and Christmas festivities, this collection focuses on single-tier cakes with a strong decorative finish. Lindy Smith explains how to transfer templates onto the cake and build up each three-dimensional design, while encouraging readers to adapt ideas and develop their own variations.

Alongside the projects, the book includes recipes for two layered cakes (Madeira and chocolate fudge) and sets out the ingredients used for reliable coverings and fillings, including sugarpaste (fondant), flower paste, modelling chocolate, ganache and royal icing. Techniques range from achieving sharp edges and mastering double-height cakes to airbrushing and cocoa butter painting, supported by 700 colour illustrations.
