Keen bakers often tell me that they bake a delicious cake but ‘oh, I can never make them as pretty as yours.’ It is almost as if they mistakenly believe me to be in possession of magical powers or the keeper of some kind of mystical secret. Contrary to popular belief, I am no magician and I do not own an enchanted oven. What I do possess are a series of tricks that I use to transform my cakes into little works of edible art. In Deliciously Decorated, I will share a series of techniques that will enable you to make your cakes look enchanting. I do not advocate the substitution of style for substance; your cake is intended to be eaten and should be delicious. My favorite recipes are included for you and I hope that these will become your go-to cakes for those occasions that require something exquisite.
