These fantastic cakes are alive with cute and cuddly, sporty and adventurous, scary and spooky characters that will delight kids of all ages. Even beginning bakers will be encouraged and inspired by Carol Deacon's simple introduction, with its easy-to-follow question-and-answer approach that takes the angst out of decorating with sugarpaste. Choose from irresistible, child-appealing designs that range from Sketchbook, Computer, and Racing Car to Horrible Bug, Princess, Fishing Pond, and Fairy Town. There are even microwave cakes that cook in four minutes, designs that start with store-bought cakes, and ones specially created so that kids can get in on the fun and help decorate, too.
