Organised around special occasions throughout the year-from spring parties to Christmas-the book includes Elise's favourite recipes for a rustic wedding, backyard barbecue celebration, elegant afternoon tea, colourful children's birthday bash and many more. Get the party started with a centrepiece cake-the Jack O' Lantern Smash Cake for a wickedly fun Halloween event or the Tree Stump Cake, dressed with flowers, for a magical woodland theme-and build from there. Elise's easy, innovative drinks, 'small bakes' and 'no bake' recipes are great for filling out your display and adding extra 'wow' factor. You'll find beautiful double-page photos of each theme party and step-by-step photographs that make decorating these gorgeous cakes easy-even for beginners.
