Ornate, expressive and beautiful, vintage cake decorating is the romantic revival sweeping the world of baking. Fancy Cakes is a sumptuous guide to mastering the art of baroque buttercream.

You'll also discover curated color palettes to inspire opulent creations, galleries of design ideas drawn from fashion, art and contemporary culture, and advice on marrying tradition with modern style.
Through 40 designs Roxy and Corinne Mankoo, the acclaimed and innovative cake designers at London's April's Baker, lead you through:
- Piping instructions for Lambeth and baroque techniques, broken down into achievable steps
- Recipes for their original sponge creations, including Matcha and Strawberry, Lemon Earl Grey and Rose and Raspberry
- Color palettes, from pastel romance to jewel-toned opulence
- Beginner to Expert guides that will have you creating showstopping centerpieces
