This book features her recipes and cake-decorating tips as well as personal stories about creating and delivering cakes. She has used cookies as cake toppers, made dozens of multicolored flowers on a hat-shaped cake, and created cakes in the shapes of taxis and diner coffee cups. Whether a lush, vibrant ?Monsoon Wedding? cake or a larger-than-life, 3D ?Cup o? Joe to Go,? Kate?s cakes always inspire people to ask, ?How did she do that??

This is one I'm actually putting on my Christmas wishlist. It has just beautiful cakes (a Curious George on and a Good Night Gorilla one that my kids love, a gorgeous autum cake that I made, a Paris cake I want to make and so many more good ones. She explains really well too and I can make her figurines from her instructions (very important)
Great book, fun ideas- do you want to get it for me for Christmas:)

I was disappointed in this book, but I purchased it 2nd hand and it was an old book, so the industry had moved on that said it did include many techniques rarely used now in the industry. It is a good book to have for reference.

I am so inspired by Kate Sullivan and her cake decorating abilities. Love her. Still need an autograph for this book.

This made my 9 year old oooh and aaaah. So much fun to dream with her. I mostly loved the funky color combos.
