Tessa Huff writes in her introduction, “For me, the ‘icing on the cake’ means much more than frosting.

It is taking a sweet treat and elevating it to something even more delightful. It is the little something extra that transforms our homemade baked goods into beautiful, showstopping desserts. In a literal sense the concept includes meticulously piped frosting on sky-high cakes and gardens of buttercream rose-topped cupcakes, but it also means ultra-chic French macarons with marbled icing, a kaleidoscope of seasonal fruit tarts, and all the sugar-filled and sprinkled-covered decorations of our dreams.”

With hundreds of beautiful photos, including lots of step-by-steps, Icing on the Cake is a richly illustrated guide for creating delicious, beautiful desserts that will be the grand finale of any gathering.
