Maggie Austin, celebrates her career and
shares the techniques that she has
developed to perfection in her first
book: Maggie Austin Cake, Artistry and
Technique, published by Houghton Mif-
flin Harcourt. It includes a few essential
recipes for bakers to use as a foundation
and suggested pairings.
Once the cake is assembled, the fun
begins. Maggie, who regularly teaches
cake design in workshops, presents easy-
to-follow directions with step-by-step
illustrative photos in her book.
ALABASTER BAS – RELIEF
It is a kind of a sculpture that brings

An ascending arrangement of roses,
garden roses, orchids and leaves, also in
matte white, completes the design.
