The comprehensive guide to amazing cake decoration--now fully
updated
"Professional Cake Decorating" is a must-have resource for
professional and aspiring cake artists, baking and pastry students,
and cake decorating hobbyists, drawing on years of experience from
master cake designer and IACP Award nominee Toba Garrett. This
"Second Edition" has been completely revamped with gorgeous new
photography and a fresh new design. The New Skills have been
re-organized into a user-friendly, step-by-step format, and line
art and photos throughout the book provide a visual reference for
each new technique. The book begins with an introductory chapter on
all the fundamentals of the cake designer's art, from covering a
cake board to assembling and icing a layered cake to stacking cake
tiers with pillars or columns. Subsequent chapters cover decorating
techniques including Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced Piping
Skills, The Art of Writing and Painting, Royal Icing Design Skills,
Hand Modeling Skills, Pastillage Construction, Gumpaste Flowers,
and much more. A chapter on Miniature Cakes and Decorated Cookies
includes techniques for making petit fours and other small treats,
while the Cake and Confectionery Gallery provides inspiration for
decorators with nearly 20 full-page photos of breathtaking cakes
and information on the techniques needed to complete each one.
Garrett also includes recipes for cakes, fillings, icings, cookies,
and more, as well as an appendix of templates to help decorators
replicate the designs shown in the book.
