Sweet and Simple Party Cakes by May Clee-Cadman, softback published by D&C. ISBN 978-0-7153-2687-9, price 14.99 from www.davidandcharles.co.uk
Aimed at the beginner, these simple cakes are stunningly beautiful. Anyone presented with one of these would be over the moon. Good basic recipes to build on, excellent instructions and fabulous photography. Not being immensely confident with sugarcrafting skills, I found this book a real boon.
