Purchased on Mighty Ape

If you are tired of all the frilly glitzy cupcakes in every magazine or recipe book …this ones for you. Simple ideas to make your zombie fan smile.

"Very quirky!"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

A very quirky and fun cupcake book. Pretty basic, would recommend it for anyone as it strays away from the boring pretty & pastel cupcakes that decorate the pages of every other cupcake book..basically lol!

"Love this book"

Purchased on Mighty Ape

Cool book with lots of awesome recipes but you would have to have some bakers tools to achieve some of them.

Description

Lily Vanilli shows how you can take inspiration from the macabre and grotesque to create some really evil-looking cakes that taste divine. Using natural ingredients and edible decorating materials, such as edible lustre dusts, gum paste and glazes, Lily shows you how to turn basic cupcakes into amazingly realistic – and delicious – sculptures, from Eerie Eyeballs to Ghastly Ghouls.

For really gory desserts, why not make Dracula's Bite red velvet cupcakes, or some Bleeding Hearts, which are moulded with deep red fondant into human hearts and covered with a cherry ‘blood’ sauce? You can also go for heavenly Fallen Angel Cakes, made with a divine honey-flavoured icing, or indulgent, truly dark chocolate Devil's Food Cupcakes, with ganache icing and chocolate devil's horns. With 25 brilliant recipes and tips and tricks throughout, this is the perfect introduction into the world of alternative cake decoration.

Author Biography

Lily Vanilli, aka Lily Jones, is a baker and cake designer. Originally a graphic designer, she began baking as a hobby and then started selling her cakes at Swanfield market near Brick Lane.
