Taste the rainbow with this celebration of color and creativity! Mima Sinclair has pulled out all the stops in creating a collection of delicious cakes, cupcakes, cookies, small treats and desserts that will brighten anyone's day. Rainbow design is on trend - maybe as a result of gloomy international news--with their frivolity and vibrancy creating a feel-good factor that is infectious and a perfect antidote to the depths of a grey winter. As always with Mima, she includes helpful tips and techniques so you can make your creations with confidence. Including a Christmas Ombre Crepe Cake, Rainbow Yule Log, Disco Dip Valentine's cookies, a Pinata Cake filled with hidden sweets, Marshmallow Funfetti Blondies, a Macaroon tower, Multi-colored Meringues and of course, the ultimate Rainbow Layer Cake, this book contains inspirational recipes that will bring happiness to any occasion.
With a Scottish father born in Calcutta, who lived in Italy and has a fine wine company, and a Dutch mother who lived in Trinidad and thinks chocolate sprinkles are a suitable toast topping (its a Dutch thing) its no surprise that I have developed a keen interest in foods of the world and a rather sweet tooth.
After completing a photography degree I turned my interests to food styling. Once trained I assisted many leading food stylists before joining the food team at Seven where I honed my skills writing recipes, testing, developing and food styling for numerous Sainsbury’s magazines and cook books.
Since going freelance I write, test, develop and food style for stills, video, publishing, packaging and editorial projects. Regularly contributing to client projects and publications detailed below.
This is an absolutely brilliant book, well designed and easy to follow recipes. I previously bought Gingerbread Wonderland and my mum liked it so much I had to buy another copy. Our particular favourites are the Piñata cake for a sugar overload and the Cookie cake!
