Talk about talent...Elisa Strauss is a very talented cake designer. (What can I say talented people are from New York...lol) I own one of her books, the first one, Confetti Cakes. I love it. It is not baking technical jargon, its fun chic baking.
It is easy to follow and has a lot of fun sculptured cakes. Its a must have for all baking gurus,chic bakers or cake divas. This unique book contains projects for every skill level, from gorgeous, sugar-dusted heart cookies to delightful billiard-ball cupcakes, to sculpted cakes in the shape of wine bottles. It also has Chinese takeout boxes, sushi plates, and even the extravagantly beautiful, three-tiered embroidery cake showcased on Sex and the City. It also has fun baseball cap cakes and popcorn mini cakes...how much fun!
Confetti Cakes is a must-have for the outrageously chic baker in all of us. I am headed to get her next book and I think she is looking into DVDs. That would be fun! I am looking forward to taking one of her classes when I go to New York again. That would be awesome.
My favorite cake in this book is the Sugar Stiletto and Shoebox. It looks so much fun to make! check it out!
