Hot Brands Verdict
Anyone who has read our reviews recently will know cakes inspire us, like much of the nation. Not just eating them, but also making them, our Creative Director, spends hours at the weekend perfecting cake decorating techniques, recently staying up until the very small hours creating an model of Ariel, The Little Mermaid on the side of her daughter’s fourth birthday cake; and so is well placed to review Planet Cake which she absolutely loves. It is described as a beginner’s guide to decorating incredible cakes and it really is that, packed full of really useful information. Cake Recipes, Icing Recipes, Equipment, Glossary of Terms, Not just basic techniques, but trouble shooting, pages and pages with coloured photographs showing how to create the perfect cake. This is then followed by the Cake Designs.

If you are looking for ideas for children’s cakes, it has some really fun designs including a sculpted Aeroplane Cake, a stunning but simple Lollipop Cake, and a delightful Racing Car Cake. As well as fun there are also some fabulous designs, including, the Handbag Cake and elegant Bow Cupcakes featured on the cover, a Make-Up Box Cake, and a very creative collection of Cup Cakes including Green Monster Cupcakes, Ladybird and Dragonfly Cupcakes, all of which really are inspired! A fabulous book! Highly Recommended!
