Hot Brands Verdict
June is our Parents and Children’s Month and this book is a perfect way to start celebrating. The recipes are easy to follow, with step-by-step instructions, templates and everything you need to create wonderful cakes for children of all ages, even the big kids among us! From basic to the more elaborate there is something for everyone, from a wonderful Carrot and Coconut Cake to the fabulous Bella Butterfly there are pages and pages of inspiring cakes. We loved the simple, but beautiful Flowering Garden built with fairy cakes and individually decorated, which is also a perfect way to involve children in decorating their own flowers. The more ambitious Buzzing Bee Hive will remind everyone of the need to protect our dwindling bee stock. If you have a birthday coming up, look no further than this book and you will be amazed at what you can create, with stunning photography, the proof of the pudding is in the delighted faces of the children throughout this fabulous book. We loved it! Highly Recommended!
