Product Description
Fiona Cairns turns her attention to birthdays, adding a touch of bling to her trademark pretty style. Every day of the year is someone's birthday, the chance to celebrate with close friends or family, or maybe an excuse for a larger bash. A birthday cake is the centrepiece, ablaze with candles, cut with a secret wish and shared to create precious memories. Many families have a treasured recipe, baked for every birthday. Perhaps you'll find a new family favourite in these pages. Whether you are one or 100, a Goth or a gardener, there is the perfect cake for you here. The Birthday Cake Book has 52 new recipes and 61 cake decorations, including 16 cupcakes. Every recipe is delicious. Try the sensational masala chai cake with ginger fudge frosting, or a sophisticated pistachio, Grand Marnier and olive oil creation. Many require no sugarcraft skills at all. Fiona also gives five spectacular themed parties, from Vampires, with an eye-popping crystal skull cake, to Vintage Tea Party, with a super-realistic crocodile handbag cake. So bring a special gift to a birthday party, and get baking!

The Birthday Cake Book
Another great book from fantastic, Royal Wedding cake maker; Fiona Cairns. In her new, second book Fiona presents a very well balanced book of fun looking novelty cakes as well as some great tasting and inspirational cakes full of flavour and imagination. Look out for Blackberry, lavender rose and white chocolate cake, Rhubarb and anise crumble cake, Chocolate wigwam - fab - and for those who want savoury cakes try the Smoked Salmon cake - sounds wierd but recipe looks great as do all the other photos and recipes in a great new book - perfect for novelty cake makers and home bakers alike! Enjoy
Also try this book too for great tasting cakes: Bake & Decorate

I recieved my book on Friday and over the weekend I haven't been able to put it down! Such a fantastic follow up from Bake and Decorate. Fiona's flavour combinations are mouth watering. I made the Masala Chai cake which all of the family enjoyed and the Chocolate orange sachertorte went down amazingly well with friends. The instructions are clear and the book well thourght out. I would recomend this book to anyone!

Great follow up book to her Bake and Decorate. Pictures of every recipe, either individually or as part of a tea party shot. Really lovely ideas for making some very cute teatime treats.
I was really taken with her teapot, piggy bank, beside the seaside bucket cake, Cheshire cat cupcakes and elephant cake designs to name but a small handful. Chapters are themed round tea parties, to make as a whole or bit by bit here and there. The book is nicely done, one of its little features that tickled me is that for the serving number guide there is a motif of the shape of the cake, so the piggy bank is a cute little pink piggy with a curly tail, with the serving number below it.
Each cake is ranked one to three birthday candles, showing if it is easy, some effort or challenging. This is not a how-to step-by-step-assembly picture cake book, though I do think the text instructions are clear and good. Still, being a Fiona Cairns cookbook even if you never did any of the decoration ideas, you would still have some top notch cakes to serve your guests. For example Banoffee, Flourless Lemon Polenta Cake with Limoncello Syrup, Coconut and Chocolate Stripy Cake, Masala Chai with Ginger Fudge Icing or the one I made today - a Marmalade Syrup Cake, which was moist, sticky and delicious.
I would have loved to have been given this for my birthday, but alas I didn't have the patience to wait and had to buy it early :)

Interesting flavoursome cake recipes for tea and parties
his book is not what you might think and from someone who designed the royal wedding cake you might be expecting a cake mostly about sugarcraft. Read more
