Overview

A follow-up to the author's successful Twenty to Make: Sugar Animals, this new book shows how to make 17 stunning sugar animals to decorate cakes for all occasions. Renowned sugar crafter Frances McNaughton begins by revealing the tools she uses and goes on to show techniques such as modeling all the basic shapes required, sculpting with tools, dusting or painting to add color, texturing with royal icing, and making fur and animal prints. The step-by-step projects show how to make appealing, realistic animals such as a cat, lion, cow, meerkat, brown bear, bat, pig, gorilla, elephant, rabbit, and polar bear. This guide also includes new techniques, such as how to make dark eyes with convincing shine, and extra details that will give the animals realistic attitudes, expressions, and poses. Several patterns are also supplied to help readers craft these wild confections with ease.
