Offering a range of styles, this book presents paper cutting techniques through clear step-by-step instruction, detailed diagrams, and templates.

Tour the world of cake! Cakes are at the center of life’s celebrations, big and small, in every corner of the globe. A bite-size lamington is a treat with tea in Australia. In Africa, golden fritters bursting with sweet fruit are popular street snacks. Honey cakes celebrate new beginnings in Jewish tradition, and peach buns are a symbol of longevity in Taiwan. Fruitcakes, from Germany’s stollen to Italy’s panettone, are popular Christmas fare. This delectable cookbook offers more than 150 irresistible recipes accompanied by mouthwatering photographs, ideas for delicious variations, and fascinating historical and cultural facts. This is a must-have for anyone who loves making (or eating!) cake.

A basics section provides a primer on the techniques and how-to illustrations and templates enhance the instructions. Fresh, contemporary photography captures the projects in urban settings.

Everything’s so cute!
That babka sure looks good.
I made the first cozy slippers on the list for my 4-year-old to go with her Halloween costume this year (she was Tinkerbell, so I made them w/ green fabric and added a white pom-pom). They were pretty easy and turned out well–despite the fact that I was much lazier with my pattern making.

Oh THANK YOU!!! I am (theoretically) knitting slippers for the female members of my family for Christmas (1.5 down, 4 more to go!), and hats for some of the men, but I didn’t know what to do for the non-hat wearing men. The sew-able cosy slippers are PERFECT!… And the cozy slippers also look like the perfect fail-safe for the knitted ones I’ll inevitably not finish (my craft list has gotten WAY too long this year)!
Really like those slippers. Have to try that soon. The tips on shirring were helpful too. I had tried it recently without success. I’ll try again with new info. Thanks!
