Happy Birthday

Children\'s birthday cakes usually come in one of two varieties: the basic, straight from the box version, or the labor-intensive, time-consuming speciality cake. This book offers alternative birthday cakes that are fabulously creative and fun as well as incredibly easy to make. Cake designs from potted sunflowers and football fields to aquariums and teapots include recipes that make use of kid-friendly ingredients such as lollipops, candy and ice cream; step-by-step instructions and tips for making perfect creations the first time around. Designed for times when style is important but convenience is paramount, each cake can be baked and decorated within a few hours.
