Cake Decorating for the first time Jaynie Maxfield

Delight family and friends with exquisitely decorated cakes for birthdays, dinner parties, or just as a special treat.

Through a simple question-and-answer format, with every procedure shown in color photographs, beginners will find out how to decorate without icing (just use a powdered sugar design) how to make chocolate curls and gumpaste flowers how to prepare the drizzled chocolate icing known as ganache and how to embellish tiered, bundt, and raspberry-filled cakes.

See how to whip up fondant, ice petits fours, and use a pastry bag to write greetings and create adornments. The all-important wedding cake is here, too. And while the focus is on decoration, there are also basic cake and icing recipes, too.
