and shortcuts resulting from years of experimenting to find the best ingredients and<br />

techniques for perfect results. Tried and tested recipes for cakes as well as scrumptious<br />

fillings, guideli<strong>ne</strong>s for portion sizes and templates for deco rations all contribute to<br />

making this an essential addition to the library of any baking enthusiast.<br />

Lav<strong>ish</strong>ly illustrated with exquisite photographs, this book attests to the fact that cake<br />

decorating has become an art form. The projects are graded from easy to advanced,<br />

so there really is something for everyo<strong>ne</strong>.<br />

Katrien van Zyl proudly served her first cake at the age of 12 and k<strong>ne</strong>w then that she would<br />

love to bake for a living. A self-proclaimed chocoholic, she combi<strong>ne</strong>d these two loves when<br />

baking her best friend’s wedding cake. After completing a four-year degree in home economics<br />

at Stellenbosch University she worked in the catering industry for several years, where<br />

she became involved in wedding planning and commercial baking for weddings and parties,<br />

among others. After her own wedding seven years ago, she started working from home,<br />

marketing her original wedding and party cake designs from her website, to leave time for<br />

helping out in her husband’s busi<strong>ne</strong>ss, and being full-time stepmom to his three boys. With<br />

four hungry men in the house there is always something delicious in the oven, and they<br />

thoroughly enjoyed gobbling up the leftover chocolate during the photoshoot for the book.<br />
