Cake Style
Welcome to the chic side of sugarcraft. Recently it seems like everyone is picking up a piping bag and moulding fondant to create edible art, but books on the subject often favour cakes for kids or feature old fashioned designs - while stylish bakers tap their Manolo Blahniks in frustration. Modern cake design is a combination of several elements: creativity, chemistry, architecture, and artistic vision, so forget the garish colours and tired-looking fondant flowers, it's time for chic cakes.
