how to turn everyday bakes into showstoppers

"The Great British Bake Off is a glorious celebration of Britain's favorite pastime. As the series has shown us, baking is fun and the perfect way to mark an occasion--to celebrate, to congratulate and reward, and to lift spirits. Covering a wide range of bakes from large and small cakes, biscuits and cookies, sweet and savory pastry, puddings, breads, and patisserie, this book shows you how to bake beautiful, enticing recipes to wow at every occasion. There are dainty bakes for afternoon tea, quick bakes perfect for bake sales, school fairs or coffee with friends, mouthwatering desserts, breads and pastry recipes for lunches and dinner parties, and some really special bakes for birthdays and festive celebrations throughout the year--including a Diamond Jubilee. The book also demonstrates ideas for making your bakes extra special, including exciting finishes using chocolate curls and ribbons, spun sugar and sugar craft, and ideas for icing, shaping and decorating, so you can bring simple sparkle to any bake. A mouth-watering book, with beautiful design and dazzling photography, Great British Bake Off will inspire everyone, whatever level of skill, to get baking and create something showstopping." --, Amazon.com
