Get ready for a new cake decorating star: sugar artist, Carlos Lischetti.

 

A popular tutor at Squires Kitchen’sInternationalSchooland a regular contributor to Cakes & Sugarcraft magazine, Carlos is the master of modelling figures in sugar.

 

Now you can discover the secrets behind his trademark style with his first book, Animation in Sugar, published by B. Dutton Publishing Ltd.

 

Animation in Sugar features 14 gorgeous handcrafted modelling projects for celebration cakes with easy-to-follow instructions, step-by-step pictures and templates throughout. Designs include a beautiful young ballerina perched atop a cake; a jolly grandmother baking with her grandchildren; a futuristic robot that could almost be real; and a stylish groom gazing dreamily at his blushing bride, both beaming from ear to ear on their big day. What’s more, each cake is presented with an accompanying mini-treat project, perfect for party bags and wedding favours.

 

Sugarcrafters, cake decorators and model makers of all abilities will love learning how to recreate expressive models with a flawless finish to really make their cakes come to life.

 

Animation in Sugar will be launched on the Squires Kitchen stand at The Cake & Bake Show, 22nd–23rd September 2012 where visitors will also be able to watch Carlos live at work.
