After the phenomenal success of his debut title, world-famous sugar artist Carlos Lischetti returns with his highly anticipated follow-up, Animation In Sugar: Take 2. The second book from the internationally-renowned sugarcrafter offers 16 more tutorials in Carlos' characteristic style, including famous favourites alongside new and unseen sugar figures that continue to push the boundaries of cake design.
Learn from the master of modelling in your own kitchen as Carlos presents a variety of techniques for modelling, colouring and cake design. A must-have for aspiring cake decorators, Carlos uses his extensive teaching experience to help guide you through each stage with easy-to-follow instructions and clear step-by-step photography.
Following a unique creative process first revealed in Animation In Sugar, Carlos' twin brother Elio illustrates all the characters on paper before Carlos brings them to life in sugar. Elio then captures each finished piece with his expert photography which is beautifully reproduced in the book.
A worthy follow-up to Carlos Lischetti's first book, Animation In Sugar: Take 2 is bursting with even more delicious recipes, useful decorating techniques and top tips for modellers of all abilities.
Author Profile
Carlos Lischetti's passion for cake decorating, baking and pastry started over 20 years ago. As a small boy, Carlos was most happy in the kitchen of the family home in Rosario, Argentina, baking cakes for his family and experimenting with sugarpaste decorations. As his curiosity grew, he started to take different local cake decorating courses that eventually helped him to master various modelling techniques. When his hobby became a career, he continued to work in Rosario until his ever-growing curiosity led him once again to attend more courses, this time in Paris and London.
Carlos' trademark style, developed alongside the animated sketches by his twin brother Elio, has become recognised all over the world. His first book, Animation In Sugar, was launched in 2012 and has since been reprinted several times and published in four languages, with more translations to follow. His work is featured regularly in Cakes And Sugarcraft magazine and he has a social media following of over 300,000 people. Carlos travels extensively, teaching students at a number of internationally renowned culinary schools. He recently completed a tour of Asia and teaches regularly at Squires Kitchen International School in Farnham, Surrey.
