Make, Bake and Celebrate!

Queen of cakes, Annie Rigg knows how to celebrate. This step-by-step book will inspire you to create something uniquely special, no matter how new you are to cake decorating. Most of the 44 cake recipes in the book are adapted from one of The Basics in the initial chapter. Here you'll also find frostings and decorating techniques to furnish you with the know-how to start getting creative. The chapter For Birthdays will tick all the boxes, from a pretty Meringue Tower layered with cream and berries to the German Chocolate Cake. If you've always wanted to make your own cake For Kids but have never had the confidence, Annie's step-by-step recipe for a Chocolate Polka-dot Cake will persuade you to give it a try.

Be it a Stack of Stars for Christmas or a Spiced Layer Cake with Maple Walnut Filling for Thanksgiving, this is the time to pull out all the stops. Annie's simple ideas and step-by-step photos will encourage you to make, bake and celebrate today.
