The Confetti Cakes Cookbook
by Elisa Strauss

Elisa Strauss' clients consider her a "chic decorator" and requested instruction on how to recreate her bakery's "greatest hits." She answered with this book, filled with recipes, clearly written instructions, and photographs of beautifully decorated cakes.

Strauss emphasizes practice and patience when sculpting cakes, especially mini cakes. Monograms, seashells, polka dots, and rubber ducks are just some of the decorations you will find inside. More complicated mini cakes such as the Mini Wedding and Teacup mini Cakes require skills in brush embroidery and making gumpaste flowers and leaves.

The Confetti Cakes Cookbook includes 224 pages of full-color instruction and guides the reader through basic recipes, cookies, cupcakes, mini cakes, and full-sized tiered centerpieces.
