Gr 4 Up–This compendium of 24 fun and festive cakes will whet readers’ appetites for baking during the holiday season, but it’s more of a design manual than an actual cookbook (all the recipes use standard cake mix). Instructions include small pan-shaped diagrams describing how to cut and assemble the creations. Ranging from the very easy Santa’s Hat and Smiley Snowman to the more elaborate Toy Train and Gingerbread House, decorating tips outline how to use candy and various colors of frosting (two recipes included) for best results. Color photographs accompany each idea.–Madeline J. Bryant, Los Angeles Public Library
