I have been updating my cake book stores. I have re-arrange it so that the authors with many book titles now has theire own section. So I hope it will be easier to find you’re way around in the book stores.

I know that many in the US are waiting patiently for Romantic Cakes by Peggy Porschen. Until now the only message from her site is that the US and German edition will be avalible this autumn. So let’s hope it won’t be long as you have lots of great stuff to look forward too with that book.
Lindy Smith’s seventh book Cakes to inspire & desire, was said to be released in the US last month?. So if you are so lucky to have it, I would love to know. The hardback version however is published in the UK here in August in a limited availability. This is the one I am waiting for as I could not wait until november where the soft back is published in the UK.
Then there is a new exciting book on the way by Mich Turner. It is called Party Cakes: Exquisite Treats for Celebrating Special Occasions.

It is to be released in UK, US and Canada this October.

So hopefully you can all look forward to a lot of exciting cake reading during this fall :)

Happy Caking!

    Well I can tell you Linda that my best most looked through books is the Pretty party cakes & Romantic cakes & Confetti cakes. I have just bought a new cupcake book: The crabapple bakery cupcake cookbook wich is nice and have some yummy recipes (I havn’t tried them myself yet) i must say that in the Pretty party cakes the recipe part is pretty much the same as R.C but still there is lots of sweet stuff.

    I think to be honest that Tårtdecor have the best selection of classes. But you will not find classes with the things we like on cupcakes and cakes but more the basic there can be good to know.

    But Linda you already make so many beautiful things so you should take classes for the basic stuff. Maybe you should do classes…:-)

    If I should learn new stuff I would love to go to Canada or Australia where there are awsome classes. But It is just too expensive.

    All the best from your danish friend Louise.

    I remebered you hadsome reviews here on your fantastic site, so I checked it up, and decided to try “Romantic cakes” by Peggy Porschen.. What a wonderful book! I love it! Thank you so much for the tip :-)

    What book would you tip med to buy next? Since you know my cakes and cupcakes, wich book do you think would fit me/ I would like?

    Right now I just wish they had some great decorating classes here in Sweden, but I haven´t found ONE that seems interesting :-(
    Maybe I have to take a trip to Denmark, lol!
