Happy Birthday Book

Children's birthday cakes usually come in one of two varieties: the basic, straight-from-the-box version, or the labor-intensive, time-consuming specialty cake. Happy Birthday offers an alternative: birthday cakes that are fabulously creative and fun as well as incredibly easy to make. Cake designs from potted sunflowers and football fields to aquariums and teapots include recipes that make use of kid-friendly ingredients such as lollipops, candy, and ice cream; step-by-step instructions; and tips for making perfect creations the first time around. Designed for times when style is important but convenience is paramount, each cake can be baked and decorated within a few hours.
