Publisher's Synopsis
In the "Sugarcraft Skills" series, "Chocolate" comes at the basic level and with its clear step-by-step photographs, easy-to-follow instructions and inclusion of all patterns and templates is the best of all teachers if trying to learn at home. With Lindsay Bradshaw, an advisor on curricula, as Consultant Editor, it also provides a useful companion for those following City and Guilds or other formal courses.;The reader is taken from the basics of learning about the properties of the chocolate available; through making chocolate cakes, fillings and icings and onto modelling and piping with the medium. But even for those who are not decorators but chocoholics pure and simple, this book will prove irresistible with its truffle cake, easter egg cake and white chocolate yule log.
