For a fun, hands-on introduction to the art of cake decorating, turn to this user-friendly course created by cake-decorating professionals. The 48-page soft-cover guide offers vivid photography and simple, step-by-step instructions for a variety of cake-decorating techniques--everything from baking perfect cakes to piping even borders, making professional roses, whipping fluffy frosting, and more. Designed to accompany Wilton's in-store Cake Decorating Course 1, the volume also stands alone as a handy reference guide for novice or professional home decorators alike. Best of all, it can be used as a stepping stone to the more complicated and intricate decorating techniques found in Wilton's Cake Decorating Courses 2 and 3 (sold separately). A great starting point when concocting memorable birthday, holiday, anniversary, and other special-occasion or everyday confections.
