Back in October last year, my former co-writer Michelle wrote about two sisters, Sandra Salamony and Gina Brown.
They were seeking submissions of photos with decorated cupcakes, cakes and cookies for their new book: 1,000 Ideas for Decorating Cupcakes, Cakes and Cookies. After seeing the interesting cover of the book, I was wondering if some of CakeJournals readers will be featured in the book with their sweet creations? Please share with me.
You can read more about the new book and pre-order it from my bookstores:
1,000 Ideas for Decorating Cupcakes, Cakes, and Cookies US
1,000 Ideas for Decorating Cupcakes, Cakes, and Cookies UK
Happy Caking!

really beautiful decorations
I picked up this book in a bookstore today and thought it was incredible. I had no idea I’d be on this website later on looking at it! I must go and pick up a copy next time I go in.
hi Louise i love your website its got excellent tips and great ideas especially for a beginner like me. I’ve just gotten into cake decorating and i was just wondering how i can let people know that i actually want to do this for a living and just bake for any occasion. i would love to hear from you and get some advice.
You cake find much more about running a cake business on CakeCentral.com Also try and search this “starting a cake decorating business from home” on Google too.
The books that are in my bookstores are sold through Amazon. So you need to find the question on http://www.amazon.com
Thank you!
Oh! This post is a little bit old, but I just wanted to share that I am in the book too. Those days I was so busy and pregnant! So I never heard about the submissions, I had the luck that in December 31st Gina herself sent me a Flickr mail inviting me to participate. I was unsure because I did not know if it was real, but a friend of mine helped me to know that it was real. I sent my photos the last day (I had only 7 days to investigate and think!). A year ago I was told that 14 of my photos had made it. I’m very happy because since then many people have contacted me to congratulate me for what I do, I never would have imagined!
OMG the book looks incredible!
WHERE COULD I GET THIS BOOK?
You can buy it from Amazon. There should be a link in the post regarding this book.
wow, i have seen some cakes in my time but these are wonderful. its lovely that you had allowed other people to submit their cakes. A truly wonderful site.
Hi,
I saw the ad for submussion in your website and responded while riding on the bus to work. Five months later Gina contacted me and 28 of my creations were shortlisted and eventually 16 were successful. Thanks so much and I’m proud to have my work on display for my kids to see for a lifetime.
