Summary

Forget the image of maiden aunts and country fairs—cake decorating has become cutting edge, and Peggy Porschen is at the front of this trend. Her cute designs have won her a host of celebrity clients: she provided the chocolate Faberge eggs for Elton John’s White Tie and Tiara Ball and designed the stunning cake for Stella McCartney’s wedding. Her book begins with an easy-to-follow introduction showing all the equipment, basic recipes, and techniques needed to make the cakes. Readers of all skill levels can go on to the subsequent chapters: Cookies, Cup Cakes, Miniature Cakes, and Large Cakes. All the designs have comprehensive instructions and clear photography so that a stunning, professional finish can always be achieved.
