Product Description
When a world-famous shoe designer walked into his surprise birthday party and saw the cake that was waiting for him--a Manolo stiletto perched alluringly next to a tissue-filled shoebox--it was his turn to ogle someone else's talent. The cake, created by Elisa Strauss of Confetti Cakes in New York City, was a sensation. Not only did everyone at the party want to know how it was made, they wanted to know how to create something as dazzling themselves.


This unique book contains projects for every skill level: from gorgeous, sugar-dusted heart cookies to delightful billiard-ball cupcakes, to sculpted cakes in the shape of wine bottles and Chinese takeout boxes, to the extravagantly beautiful, threetiered
embroidery cake showcased on Sex and the City. With delicious recipes, stunning creations for every occasion, suggestions for time-saving shortcuts, and hot tips for fabulous results, all illustrated with gorgeous photographs and easy-to follow diagrams, THE CONFETTI CAKES COOKBOOK is a must-have for the outrageously chic baker in all of us.

She displays beautiful pictures, but she's not explaining anything that you don't know. Her recipes are not anything new also :(
I was waiting so much for this book and it was not good enough imho, a waist of money.


5 out of 5 stars so much more than I was anticipating   September 8, 2008
I love this book. I expected a book about how to carve and decorate these fabulous cakes that the bakery is famous for. I was unprepared for the thoroughness of the introductory sections on tools and methods, and the details in the directions. I bought this book thinking it would be an addition to my library of ideas, and I find that I've added to my library of really good instruction in the basics in addition. I recommend it to everyone who is interested in creating fun carved and decorated cakes, beginners and advanced alike. Since I'm not interested in cookies at the moment, I can't comment on the cookies section.

5 out of 5 stars confetti Cakes Cookbook is a must for serious cake bakers   August 22, 2008

The cake recipes are the best. Great tasting and easy to carve for sculpture cakes. Easy to follow recipes and instructions on how to do each cake. Out of all the cake decorating books that I own, this is the one I use the most. Must have for cake and cookie bakers. Will make you look like a professional each time.


5 out of 5 stars the one and only recipe i tried was great!   August 21, 2008

i was given this book by a friend who believes it contains the "best ever" recipe for red velvet cake. i have made many and find them ironically either too oily or too dry. this one is quite good, i admit, albeit not the best ever. in any event, the cooking time was wrong! having done a considerable amount of baking myself, i knew i would not need to bake 3 9-inch cakes for 45 minutes. i set my timer for 30 minutes and bingo, that was perfect. had you not known that? bummer!
