This book is suitable for a wide range of technical ability, from the confident decorator with some basic level decorating skill and experience, to the highly seasoned decorating specialist. The primary focus of this instructional book is on how to recreate the exterior decorative icing appearance of each cake presented, and its main goal is to put forth a plethora of refreshing new ways to present icing on cake using known basic techniques. Therefore, in order to include an abundant number of icing concepts, and due to the wealth of fine culinary retail books available which provide tested sumptuous cake recipes and hints, baking has intentionally not been addressed in this book. Care, however, has been taken to describe any specific decorating techniques employed. The very basics of decorating such as filling icing bags, attaching icing tubes, dowelling cakes etc. are also not intentionally outlined in this book due to the wealth of basic skill retail handbooks currently available addressing these details at length. An email address is conveniently provided at the back of this book to actively involve readers in helping to improve any future editions of this book via reader comments and suggestions. Create one of these Beverley Way Collection beauties for your event and be prepared to repeatedly hear "I've never seen anything like it!"
