A compilation of the best-selling International School of Sugarcraft
Book One and Book Two, now available in a more affordable single
volume.
Making a cake and decorating it beautifully for a special occasion
deserves a round of applause, and with The Ultimate Guide to
Sugarcraft, the praise will keep on coming! This book is divided into
two parts, with each section comprised of a set of 20 lessons. Part One
teaches how to make perfect cakes, icings and frostings, as well as
master ribbon work, frills, collars, lettering, modeling and piped
decorations. It is the ideal foundation for people who have never
decorated a cake before--and an excellent refresher for those who
already have some basic skills. Part Two builds on that foundation,
teaching the intricate skills of tube and brush embroidery, lace,
fondant, figure modeling, sugar-flower sprays, bas relief, pastillage
and filigree. Packed with ideas, each one illustrated with color
photographs and accompanied by step-by-step instructions, this
inspirational guide is written by six internationally acclaimed
sugercraft artists, each one chosen for their expertise in a particular
field of sugarcraft. This is the most comprehensive sugarcraft and cake
decorating book ever published. This cake decorating guide contains over
70 ideas for cake decorations and designs.
