Birthday Cakes
by Colette Peters
Colette has done it again! This wonderful book contains hundreds of new and innovative ideas. You won't be able to put this book down.
No birthday celebration is complete without a birthday cake, and no one makes more astoundingly beautiful or imaginative cakes than Colette Peters, cake decorator extraordinaire.
Here are cakes for every month in the year and every sort of birthday celebrant. Each month has a sign of the zodiac cake, a birthstone cake, and a flower cake. In addition there are Colette's fabulous one-of-a-kind cakes, such as an astonishingly realistic "leather" doctor's bag, a chess set, an art deco cake, and a cherry pie purse.
Although the cakes are almost too beautiful to eat, Colette has divulged her own delicious recipes for bourbon chocolate
cake, basic buttercream, chocolate ganache, and cookies. And she has provided detailed instructions for everything from how to build a tiered cake to airbrushing on sugar, piping techniques, painting with gold, and much more.
Filled with step-by-step, easy-to-follow instructions, hundreds of line drawings, and gorgeous color photographs, this newest book from one of America's foremost cake decorators will give inspiration to the professional, and enable the beginning cake decorator and student to duplicate her fantastic creations.
