The Confetti Cakes Cookbook:
Spectacular Cookies, Cakes, and Cupcakes from New York City's Famed Bakery

by Elisa Strauss and Christie Matheson



      From the moment you see the brightly decorated cover of The Confetti Cakes Cookbook: Spectacular Cookies, Cakes, and Cupcakes from New York City's Famed Bakery you know that you are in for a special treat. This cookbook is a one of a kind collection that will give you the knowledge to turn a simple cake recipe into an instant work of art.

Although this book may intimidate the average cook, I quickly found that this author did an outstanding job of providing all the information anyone needed to easily create their own masterpiece. There is an entire section that is devoted to the different types of equipment you will need for each recipe. An additional bonus inclusion is a glossary for any terms that you may not readily be familiar with. Both sections provide a sense of security that helps encourage readers to go forward and try their own hand at creating one of kind recipes.

The Confetti Cakes Cookbook: Spectacular Cookies, Cakes, and Cupcakes from New York City's Famed Bakery offers such a wide and interesting variety. In this one book you will find unique creations like the sugar stiletto and shoebox, the handbag, and my personal favorite, the Chinese takeout box. These recipes allow the imagination to go wild as they show you how to turn a simple recipe into real, lifelike objects.

This book is an adventure waiting to be discovered. The techniques that will be learned in this one book will make any party a special occasion. Those who are looking for a new and exciting experience should definitely  take the time to experience this book. Very highly recommended.
