Karen reveals
just how easy it is to create impressive cakes using the simplest of sugarcraft
techniques. Ideal for those who are new to cake decorating, she explains
important steps such as lining a cake tin, covering a cake with sugarpaste and
stacking a tiered cake, not forgetting her tried-and-tested cake, cupcake and
biscuit recipes. In each of the 13 step-by-step cake projects Karen also shows
you how to use one key decorating technique to great effect, sharing her top
tips along the way. Find out how to use sugarcraft moulds, stencils and
quilling to create instant decorations, as well as many more handy techniques
to make a spectacular centrepiece the easy way.
