Sweet & Unique Cupcake
Toppers: Over 80 Creative
Fondant Tutorials, Tips, and
Tricks (Paperback)
By Lynlee North Beckett
Cupcakes are becoming an increasingly popular choice with customers for
their special event, and let’s face it the
good old swirl of icing and sprinkles
just doesn’t cut it anymore. People want
to wow their guests with amazing cupcakes… but coming up with ideas on
how to decorate them can be tricky.
Sweet & Unique Cupcake Toppers has
more than 80 cupcake projects and for
just about every theme you can imagine! There are construction cupcakes,
sporting cupcakes, cupcakes to celebrate the sand and the sun, cupcakes
to celebrate music and cupcakes to
celebrate love bugs! The list doesn’t
end there but we simply can’t list them
all. What our team loves most about
this book is that all the projects have
detailed instructions and step by step
photos. We also loved that the majority
of the projects don’t require fancy tools,
they are just tools you’re likely to have
at home already. The ACDN believes
this book would be perfect for any cake
decorator’s book shelf.
