Santa sliding on a triangle of a cake





Carol Deacon

The book has many pictures with creative ideas both simple and complex. A simple pipe cleaner become the antlers on a candy cane. The complex ones are pared o simple ones in subsequent pictures. This act of breaking down a whole decoration into its parts is sure to get your creative juices flowing to mold the fondant in a way to customise and please whoever you want to decorate the cake for. The Chinese Dragon cake, summer Holiday Flowers cake (with its 3/4 standing cake), a hot dog, Thanksgiving Turkey Cake (with a story of a turkey crushing the cake built onto the cake).
Edible paper. I enjoyed it as a kid. some papercutting to make a snowflake. wow.
Its a magical world that the author Carol Deacon presents to us. Whats even better is we can make it ours.

I saw this split chickpea addition to it and wondered why I didnt think of it before. I know of a recipe with soaked split chickpea and onion curry (diced onions, but now I am thinking another recipe would be to give the special treatment to onions with a blend and then fried well - elevates any main ingredient even simple one like soaked split chickpea. oh no, now reimaging all the great food could have been if done well - thinking chole curry -- its like once you know a mistake and have tons and tons of papers, to go back and correct). In some months, when for religious reasons, people dont eat onion, t...
