As many people dislike the sweetness that icing adds to cakes, one trend for the wedding cakes recently has been for naked cakes, where the layers of the cake are left bare at the sides. This book gives recipes for a variety of different cakes, ranging from the traditional (chocolate, vanilla and carrot) to the slightly more unusual (lychee, cardamom and lemonade). There are also recipes and ideas for other stacked cakes, including crepes, meringues and even a cheese wheel cake. There are step-by-step instructions, showing how to layer and stack the cakes, and a wide variety of recipes for different fillings and toppings. In addition to cake-decorating there are suggestions for setting the scene with tissue - and crepe - paper decorations to brighten up any event. Woman's Weekly, October 2015 issue
