Wedding Cakes
Kathleen Hacket
Synopsis: A
wedding cake is likely the most memorable dessert you will ever
serve, the piece de resistance at the reception. Choose it with
care, and with guidance from the experts at Victoria. They and
the many breathtaking photos in this luscious, elegant guide,
will help you find inspiration and come up with innovative ways
to make the cake fit snugly into the wedding's overall theme.
Once limited to three tiers set on columns, decorated in white,
embellished with piped sugar frosting, and topped with a miniature
bride and groom, this confection now makes vivid style statements.
For example, some bakers will create a cake to match the colour,
texture, and details of the gown, even mimicking its buttons,
bows, ruffles and pleats. Or, the cake's shape and structure
might mirror that of the wedding's locale - echoing the decor
of a fancy hotel room or imitating the greenery and flora at
an outdoors reception. "Sweet detail" boxes throughout
provide invaluable tips, and there's a glossary of basic cake
terminology. From finding a baker to deciding on the right size
to cutting etiquette, all the information you need is contained
in these pages.

Sugar
Roses for Cakes
Tombi Peck, Alan Dunn, Tony Warren
Synopsis: Known
as the flower of romance, the rose is the most popular of flowers.
Indeed, roses are also the most requested flower by brides to
decorate wedding cakes and to carry in bouquets. Sugar Roses
includes a collection of all the kinds of roses - wild, climber,
rambler, old species and the various modern roses - from pretty,
delicate, five-petalled wild roses to the huge full blown modern
blooms. Grouped in these sections in the book, with every colour
imaginable, the authors have displayed the roses in traditional
and modern settings on cakes and in bouquets, sprays, posies
and table arrangements. There are beautiful celebration cakes,
including a spectacular array of wedding designs. The amazing
bouquets and arrangements can be treasured as keepsakes. Following
the latest trends in flower arranging, there are many innovative
ways shown to display roses on cakes and as arrangements. To
ensure success, each rose has a clear step by step build up
photography. In some of the displays, other flowers, before
been published, such as dog-toothed violets, gymea lilies, sea
holly and white ginger, have been included to enhance the roses:
these flowers will also have a build up photograph. (As many
sugarcrafters will already have instructions for some of the
roses, this will be a good feature to promote.) The fabulous
new book of floral sugarcraft has been designed to compliment
the true beauty of the rose.
