Occasionally we would purchase a store bought cake that had little plastic people or dinosaurs but cakes have entered the realm of artistic pursuits.

There are so many new techniques. Traditional cake is all but extinct. Think of all of the method you use in creating piece with polymer clay. Now imagine doing the same thing in fondant. Imagine creating an edible sculpture. That is what they are fast becoming.

I was given the opportunity to review a selection of cake decorating books for the new millenium. Wow. They are simply amazing. There are cakes in colors and color combinations like we never imagined. there are cakes that defy gravity.

In looking at the selection of books you quickly begin realizing what the books strength is in comparison with the others. I am going to be sharing these books with you and giving you take on what offers which elements. In this way you can either stock your library or leave not so subtle hints around the house.
