Synopsis

Artfully decorated cakes with a twist. The opposite of sugary, Twisted Cakes subverts cute cupcakes and celebration cakes to produce designs with a nod to the dark side, all executed with a wicked sense of humour. The 20 wacky wonders include stabbed cupcakes, eyeball mini cakes, a Venus fly trap plant, a roach motel, a maggoty candy bar, Siamese pigs and a rack of lamb cake. There are cakes for Halloween that could have come straight from a fairground haunted house - a tombstone, a creepy clown or a severed arm. Other occasions are catered for, too. A can of worms would be perfect for a fisherman's birthday, while a graffiti-inspired cake will delight fans of street art. Prefer pretty with a twist? Then choose a Mexican Day of the Dead skull cake or a pinned butterfly. You can bring out your inner sadist with a kidnapped and bound Terrified Teddy or a mouse in a trap. There's even an alternative wedding cake with a heart tattoo theme and a frosty split cake to mark a break-up. The book comes with step-by-step instructions for every cake and a pocket on the back cover containing five folded sheets of design templates. The 20 original designs range from simple to challenging so they will appeal to both new and experienced cake decorators.
