In the ‘ Masterclass’ chapter, Mich shares her decorating secrets with succinct tutorials to teach advanced techniques, from moulding realistic sugar paste roses to hand-painted designs and delicate ribbon loops. The stunning ‘ Cake Gallery’ section showcases the techniques developed in the Masterclass, with a delectable range of desserts for every occasion: from tiered creations with piped lace to chocolate glitter roses, through hand-painted flowers, to moulded Christmas candy canes.

This book demystifies cake decorating, making it accessible and fun. If you have never dared to bake and decorate a cake or if you are simply looking for inspiration, Mich Turner has created the perfect book for you.
