This is a quirky collection of celebration cakes boasting the unique but easily achievable modelling skills of internationally renowned cake designer and sugercrafter Maisie Parrish. Each design has true character and unique charm and is ideal for a celebration with a difference, from a pampered hippo for Mother's Day to cute carol-singing penguins. Each project is accompanied by quick-to-make cupcakes and minicakes to complement the main cake or to make when time is short.

Format:Paperback
Very helpful book. I'm a complete novice with a wish to get into this and when I saw the complete pictures i did not think it possible that I could create them but piece by piece, it came together and now I feel inspired and confident to try something harder and more intricate.
A real confidence booster and easy to buy tools.

great character cakes 22 Sep 2009
By Kazzie
Format:Paperback
This book has a great selection of character cakes which are very detailed step by step. Explanations are easy to understand even for a total beginner. I have really enjoyed this book from cover to cover. The designs used mean that you can pick and mix the characters and just do a part of the design, great for cupcakes and small cakes as well as a fully decorated cake.

My First Hippo
Maisie... love your books and your instructions are great. My first ever fancy cake was this Hippo in the bath. I was sooo rapt and I made it all by myself and she looked great.

A really lovely book to flick through but exceptionally too advance for me. The best character is the one on the front cover- the hippo in the bath.
