Kids' party cakes / [Diane Hockings].

Includes index.

For adults.

Making a memorable birthday cake doesn't have to be a chore. It will certainly take time to make the cake and then to ice and decorate it, but these easy-to-follow recipes will really simplify the whole process. Let's start with the cake. There's no need to make a complicated cake for birthdays -- the decorations are what your kids will really remember, not what was underneath. So all that's needed is a simple butter cake -- easy to make and perfect for cutting and shaping. The recipes in this book call for prepared cake mix, but if you prefer to make your cakes from scratch, you can use the recipe in the book. Birthdays are always so much fun for kids-friends and family, presents, a big party and of course, a cake that friends will talk about for weeks and your kids will always remember. Included are 70 fantastic recipes to make any birthday extra special, whether your child is a future astronaut, vet, race car driver or safari guide, or if they want a cake spelling out their age. We have included quick and easy-to-follow recipes and instructions for spectacular, high-impact cakes, each clearly detailing the required ingredients and practical method, as well as tips and practical solutions for the more ambitious recipes. This book makes it easy for you to really 'put the icing on the cake' of your child's next birthday party.
