CAKE DECORATING TECHNIQUES - II (c2013) is the compilation of two books originally co-authored by Helen Sembra and Joan McDaniel in 1981 and 1984. These two popular books are combined in this single book for convenience.LACE AND FILIGREE (1983) Sugar filigree or raised lacework is one of the most exquisite and delicate of all icing techniques. Finely piped pieces are made separately and later attached so they stand out from the cake surface. Pieces range from simple to elaborate; from tiny lace points used on Australian cakes, larger flat or curved side pieces and large showy South African wings, to three dimensional construction. This reference book provided detailed instructions and recipes and was an initial guide to making lace and filigree, offering new patterns which have remained popular through the years.LACE AND FILIGREE PATTERNS (1984) A book filled with new designs with minimal instructions. Printed as a companion to the first book and providing further inspiration for decorators to try this fascinating technique.

Combining two previously published books, CREATE WITH CRIMPER WORK and BRUSH EMBROIDERY, this book whets the cake decorator's appetite with clear instructions and both formal and "fun" designs. It encourages you to be creative and make your own imaginative designs with these beautiful and fascinating techniques. A covering of rolled fondant gives a wonderfully smooth, satin like finish to a cake which offers a perfect base for delicate lacework, finely molded flowers and fine embroidery. Decorative designs can be made using crimp work, a technique using tweezer-like crimpers to pinch or crimp the fondant into raised patterns. Brush Embroidery is an Australian technique in which designs are piped on the cake and then smoothed with a damp paintbrush to give a semblance of embroidery. It is an ideal method for duplicating the lace of a bride's dress on a wedding cake and looks exquisite white on white. However, it shows up more effectively where there is a contrast between cake colour and "embroidery," e.g., white on a coloured background or on glass. Lace and embroidery patterns provide a wealth of beautiful designs to choose from.
