This how-to book will help you do just that! Fun with Frosting is perfect for amateur bakers looking to make delicious, creative cakes out of regular bakeware (no specialty pans required!) without having to deal with finickyand often not-so-tasty fondant. To start, Fun with Frosting offers everything you need to know about baking, leveling, filling, and assembling cakes, cupcakes, and cakeballs. Author K. Callard also includes a run-down of must-have tools (and some clever substitutions), flat-icing and piping techniques, and tips to help with coloring frosting, checking consistency, and using crumb-coating and flat-icing bases. Even the youngest bakers will appreciate Callard's knowledge of her craft as they learn to make shell borders, basket weaving patterns, butter cream roses, and decorating accents using various candies, sugars, melts, and more. Step-by-step instructions for a range of cake designs, from simple 2D treats to intricate 3D triumphs, are certain to please any birthday kid or kid at heart.
