The Confetti Cakes Cookbook: Spectacular Cookies, Cakes, And Cupcakes From New York City's Famed Bakery

When a world-famous shoe designer walked into his surprise birthday party and saw the cake that was waiting for him -- a Manolo stiletto perched alluringly next to a tissue-filled shoebox -- it was his turn to ogle someone else's talent. The cake, created by Elisa Strauss of Confetti Cakes in New York City, was a sensation. Not only did everyone at the party want to know how it was made, they wanted to know how to create something as dazzling themselves.

This unique book contains projects for every skill level: from gorgeous, sugar-dusted heart cookies to delightful billiard-ball cupcakes, to sculpted cakes in the shape of wine bottles and Chinese takeout boxes, to the extravagantly beautiful, threetiered embroidery cake showcased on Sex and the City. With delicious recipes, stunning creations for every occasion, suggestions for time-saving shortcuts, and hot tips for fabulous results, all illustrated with gorgeous photographs and easy-to-follow diagrams, The Confetti Cakes Cookbook is a must-have for the outrageously chic baker in all of us.
