CONFETTI CAKES COOKBOOK - Little Brown USA

When a world-famous shoe designer walked into his surprise birthday party and saw the cake that was waiting for him-a stiletto perched alluringly nest to a tissue-filled shoe box-it was his turn to ogle someone else's talent. The cake, created by Elisa Strauss of Confettu Cakes in New York City, was a sensation. Not only did everyone at the party want to know hoe it was made, they wanted to know how to create something as dazzling themselves. Elisa Srtauss can sculpt a sweet treat into anything imaginable, and now you can too. This inspiring book contains projects for every skill level, from elegant sugar-dusted heart cookies, to delightful billiard ball cupcakes, to sculpted cakes in the shape of wine bottles and Chinese-takeout boxes, to the extravagantly beautiful three-tiered embroidery cake showcased on Sex and the City.
