Book Description (From the Introduction):
When you bake and decorate a cake for a special occasion, the smiling faces around the table will be your greatest reward.
After a few lessons and a lot of practice you will be able to decorate beautiful cakes for birthday parties, anniversaries, and other special days.
You can practice on practice boards, waxed paper, or freezer paper (waxed side up) taped to cardboard—or even a cake pan turned upside down. Once you decorate the practice surface, scrape the icing off and use it over again.
Comments: I believe this to be a legal
free download based upon the fact that a link to it was provided on
a publicly-accessible webpage of the non-profit 4-H network chapter associated with (the extension office of?) The University of Missouri. I could not find any information about any fees or charges for this book. The 4-H is a U.S. federal government network, administered by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) (
