Twenty To Make: Sugar Brides

Description

The book will be aimed at anyone from professional wedding cake decorators to amateur bakers tasked with making their own wedding cake, or that of a close relative or friend. It will provide ideas, inspiration and instructions for making the traditional bride and groom that adorns the top of the cake. There'll be ten grooms and ten matching brides to choose from, in a range of styles (including a more 'mature' couple!). At the start of the book, in place of the materials and tools we have historically included in these books, there'll be some general instruction on personalising hair styles, dress styles, colour and so on to match the happy couple.
