How exciting…I now have my hands on an advanced copy of my NEW book. I always love the moment a new book arrives. Months and months of hard work suddenly becoming something tangible, something you can touch and share. Finally seeing my latest creations in print is always a proud and very special moment too.
This book is my 16th cake decorating book and my first for four years. I have loved putting it together and thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of creating new designs and experimenting with new techniques.
On-trend cake shapes
- Sharp edges – a very current trend that cake decorators aspire to. In this new book, I share two methods for achieving these coveted edges. Including lots of step by step photos so you can easily follow.
- Double height cakes – another on-trend design aspect that I know many of you are intrigued by. Full instructions also included.
New Cake Decorating Techniques
I’ve also include a selection of on-trend cake decorating techniques that I’ve not covered in my previous books. I’ve loved experimenting with these and I’m very pleased with the result. The new cake decorating techniques include:
- Cocoa butter painting – I’m a complete convert to this lovely new technique. I’ve included it in the book a number of times and have also written an informative blog: How to Paint with cocoa butter, a beginners guide
- Working with modelling chocolate – Again this is a completely new medium for me. I love and will be using it again and again from now on. The puffin cake below is created from modelling chocolate.

- New airbrushing technique – I’ve had an airbrush for years but hadn’t really experimented with it much until I wrote this book. I always thought it was an expensive piece of kit. Prices, however, have come down and I’m finding more and more of my students now own airbrushes. Perfect timing, I believe, to show you what can easily be done with an airbrush.
