N2  - Delight family and friends with exquisitely decorated cakes for birthdays, dinner parties, or just a special treat for everyday. 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 lilies, roses, and other buds; how to prepare the drizzled chocolate icing known as ganache; and how to embellish tiered, bundt, and raspberry-filled cakes. Whip up fondant and see how to ice petit fours, and adorn them with coconut, nuts, and flowers. Instructions for using a pastry bag show how to write a greeting and create leaves, borders, and flowers. And, of course, the all-important wedding cake is here, too. While the focus is specifically on decoration, there are also basic cake and icing recipes to get you started
