Jane Asher has been making special cakes for her family and friends since she was a schoolgirl and in this book she describes in detail how to make twenty-four of her favourites.

There are cakes for all sorts of occasions - birthday, christening, Christmas, etc. - and each cake is introduced with a story about why it was made.

The step-by-step illustrated instructions make it easy to follow the way in which Jane Asher makes her cakes and the book is packed with valuable tips and information.

The basic materials are surprisingly few and the author gives full details about where they can be bought.

It is the author's hope that not only will you make the cakes in Jane Asher's Party Cakes but that you will be encouraged to experiment with your own designs.
