Tried, tested, and true - this book includes the best cake, icing, and fondant recipes to use when making your creations. Perfect for stacking, carving, and displaying your masterpieces all day long.

Welcome to the chic side of sugarcraft. Recently it seems like everyone is picking up a piping bag and moulding fondant to create edible art, but books on the subject often favour cakes for kids or feature old fashioned designs - while stylish bakers tap their Manolo Blahniks in frustration. Modern cake design is a combination of several elements: creativity, chemistry, architecture, and artistic vision, so forget the garish colours and tired-looking fondant flowers, it's time for chic cakes.
