Rose Macefield

Description

Rose Macefield shares her trade secrets and incredible design flair in this step-by-step guide to sculpting and decorating show-stopping novelty cakes. Beginning with the readily available sugarcrafting tools and materials required, she goes on to provide recipes for cakes, buttercream and royal icing and teaches you how to:

Level, stack, slice through and buttercream the cakes, and support their structure where required with dowels and cake boards.
Sculpt shapes freehand or using templates
Cover a cake board and various shapes of sculpted cake with fondant (sugarpaste)
Decorate the result with a variety of techniques including marbling, using a clay gun, airbrushing, modelling shapes and adding texture

Nine breathtaking projects are clearly explained with step-by-step photographs: a shitsu show dog, a rocker's electric guitar, a one-eyed messy monster, a teenage girl's fashion sneakers, a fisherman's basket, a tennis bag, a baker's mixer, a toy train with alphabet blocks and a craft box with sewing equipment.

Rose's attention to detail is extraordinary and her sense of humour a delight, yet everything is simple to make with her clear instructions.
