Kids’ Party Cakes Flip Book

130 step-by-step recipes for every special occasion
A stand-up cookbook with 450 pictures

A special cake is the perfect way to celebrate a child’s birthday or other important event. This book is filled with novelty and fun cake ideas for children of all ages. Every recipe has step-by-step instructions and photographs that will help both experienced and novice cooks create a cake that will make every party an instant success.

The book is divided into eight sections. The Basic Recipes and Techniques section gives recipes for the cake bases that are used later in the book – sponge cake, Swiss (jelly) roll, Maderia cake, fruit cakes and truffle mixture. The ingredients list for each decorated cake tells you which of these cake bases to use, and which size. None of the cakes involve complicated techniques, and several are as simple as putting the ingredients into a bowl and mixing them together. There are also instructions for lining a cake tin (pan) and making apricot glaze, which is used to seal a cake before putting on marzipan or icing.

• Cakes for every part occasion – birthdays, christenings, New Year, Halloween, Christmas – and designs to delight children of all ages.


• Animal lovers will adore the exotic tropical parrot, the Indian elephant in full regalia, and the chocolate porcupine.
