The perfect wedding cake is the crowning glory of any wedding day.
Contemporary Wedding Cakes, written by two top wedding cake designers,
explores the myriad of options that are open to brides and grooms-to-be.
Divided into three sections, this book caters to all different types of
weddings. Nadene Hurst writes about royal-iced wedding cake designs
ranging from stylized collars and panel work to special techniques such
as stringwork, brush embroidery, stenciling and airbrushing. Julie
Springall focuses on sugarpaste wedding cakes, offering wonderful and
distinctly different ideas, ranging from an Art Nouveau design to New
England folk art. Both authors contribute to the third section, which
explores the potential of American-style stacked cakes.
Each section contains eight cakes, explaining the individual techniques
required to recreate the stunning designs. The step-by-step photographs
and the clear, informative text make this book an ideal tool for cake
decorators. Whether you are seeking inspiration for new designs or
helping brides and grooms select a cake, this book will be an invaluable
and timeless source of reference.
The ultimate companion for brides and grooms-to-be, and cake decorators
alike, this book offers a wealth of ideas that will inspire you and
