Fancy Cakes by Roxi and Corinne Mankoo
The vintage buttercream revival, from the London bakery that helped start it.
The Mankoos run April's Baker, and their cakes, all swags, rosettes, pearls and piped borders, are the ones that fill your feed. Here they break the Lambeth and baroque techniques into steps a home baker can follow, across 40 designs from beginner to showstopper, with recipes for the sponges underneath (Matcha and Raspberry, Lemon Earl Grey, Rose and Raspberry) and color palettes from pastel to jewel-toned.
A cake book that doubles as a design book. For the baker, or for the coffee table.
Details: Hardcover, Hardie Grant.
