The time has come to invite the next generation of cake-decorating superstars to pick up an icing smoother. Cake decorating is not about being an expert or even a great baker. It’s about being an artist and using your imagination to make amazing edible creations in sugar for your friends and family.

All you need are some of the skills outlined in this book, a few simple tools and some fondant icing. All of our cake toppers have been designed to be made by children aged eight years and over, and there is no need for any complex equipment. The base cakes are designed to be made by adults or younger people of all skill levels.My eight-year-old daughter, Estelle, is absolutely obsessed with making icing figurines, and has been asking me to write this book for a long time.

Estelle’s figurines are often better than those made by adults. This is not because she has an innate talent — it’s because once you learn a few simple figurine techniques, the only limit is your imagination, which comes alive in 3D.

Like most of us, I enjoyed baking and making sweets from a very young age. I also received a huge ego boost when I presented my delights to amazed and appreciative grown-ups.
This book introduces children to this wonderful craft, which truly gives so much joy, confidence and limitless possibilities to anyone who engages with it. I want to encourage adults and children to have fun learning and sharing new skills, being creative and spending time together.

For everyone else, this book is a great place to learn how to make simple yet effective icing figurines and fantastic cake designs.

The basic premise of this book is that children will be making the cake toppers, and grown-ups will be making the base cake.

Children are delightfully creative, so when I first started writing this book I had one very important question: what cake toppers do kids want to design and make?
