Sweet Tables - A Romance of Ruffles - Zoe Clark
A Romance of Ruffles
Craft a sophisticated collection of sensuous desserts softly textured with piped swirls, frills and ruffles in dreamy, muted tones.

This fabulous trio of celebration cakes is a study in texture and tone, featuring the use of buttercream as the decorating medium rather than the usual smooth sugarpaste.

Cake dummy, cake stand or heavy-duty turntable
