Deco Cakes!: Swiss Rolls for Every Occasion

Nothing says a good time than a cake. So with budgets being tight, when you cannot hire a cake boss why not become your own ace of cakes by crafting a fun and stylish Deco Cake! In her English language debut Japanese Internet sensation JUNKO complies thirty-two of her most festival and stylish cake rolls for a global market.

JUNKO starts off with a well-known cake recipe for the traditional roll cake, often found in dessert shops across Eastern Europe. She then revitalizes this classic with a modern flair by going into great detail to distinguish each of the 32 cakes in this book for every special occasion. JUNKO's cakes are part crafting, as her baked on decorations are essentially simple candy-making projects, and part baking and all fun!

Included in this 90 page book are 16 design stencils to use to make patterns on your Deco Cakes. Once you master these patterns, make your own and customize your personalized cakes.
