Review: Fun cake designs - Fun cake decorating book. Lots of inspiration and some relatively easy, do-able designs that you can copy pretty much exactly without too much trouble, or use as a springboard for your own design variations. I've made a few of the cakes with great results, with minor changes to my versions. For instance instead of one big bunny hill cake filled with jelly-belly carrots, I made small individual bunny hill cakes, filled with tiny carrots that I made from orange chocolate-covered sunflower seed tipped with green chocolate- super cute! The kids had fun flipping through the pages and making their birthday cake requests- it was hard for them to narrow down their choices from all the creative designs. They might even want to help decorate the cakes, but I'd say most of the cakes would require some help from an adult.

This is such a fun book. My daughter saw at her school book ...
This is such a fun book. My daughter saw at her school book fair. I didn't buy because I thought we didn't need another baking book. We borrowed from the library and kept renewing so I decided it was time to buy. Easy instructions, diagrams and pictures on how to cut and build your cakes. Fun designs and ideas. My girls love Cake Wars, this book is a nice compliment and easy starting place for their creativity with cakes!

Good but could be better
I didn't see the first date published but it must have been in the 1950's. Considering the dramatic changes in children's media content, this needs an update, a rewrite.
