Jane Asher's Party Cakes

Jane Asher's Party Cakes is beautiful, readable, clever and very liberating... she has a "do-what-works" attitude that is refreshingly diferent from many of the other books on the subject. Here she presents a series of 3 dimensional, sculpted cakes, decorated in rolled fondant. Subjects range from an ornate piano (complete with rice paper sheet music) to an extraordinarily life-like snail. The cakes are rated by difficulty, but even a novice can have great success with the difficult ones, as the techniques are well illustrated and broken down into easy steps. Lovely to look at and even more fun to use, this book should be a part of any cake decorating hobbyist's library.
