It is suitable for both the complete beginner as well as the more experienced cake decorator who simply wants to make a stylish cake fast. It leads the reader through the whole Christmas cake experience. From baking your cake (not forgetting the tradition of making a wish as you stir the mixture)to decorating it. The book contains twelve complete cake decorating projects all fully explained using clear step-by-step instructions. It also contains hints and tips, templates and over fifty full colour photographs. The book covers a vast range of Christmas themes to suit all tastes. Some are sophisticated and stylish. Others are bursting with Carol's trademark sense of humour. The one thing they all have in common though is Carol's aim to make life easy for her readers. You will not need a lot of expensive equipment to make any of these cakes - there's not a piping bag in sight! Most of what's required, most people will have in their kitchens already. Carol says she wants to put the fun back into baking. This book is so entertaining that even if you never ever bake a cake, you'll still enjoy looking at the pictures!
