Sweet Heaven: Cakes and Cupcakes

By Sara Lewis

Sweet Heaven is a book that has the best of both worlds: sweets and God's word. This long time project was born more than three years ago when the author was hosting a life group called "icraft with Sara," where the girls got together to study God's word and work with handicrafts. Sara was always developing messages that would fit the project the girls were working on at the time. Then God placed the dream in her heart to make this book as a tool to reach and bless people independent of their walking in life. Each project has a related message that will warm your heart and make God realeven more tangible to all of us. It's a wonderful gift for those that know God but don't have a close personal relationship with Him.

Introduction

Dear Friends:

Thank you for sharing with me the love of decorating cakes and cupcakes, this yummy art of transforming cakes and cupcakes into pieces of art. I have always looked for new ingredients and easier ways to make the most with the gift God gave me. This is the main reason I wrote this book, to share and inspire you with lovely step by step projects that will leave your guests in complete and utter awe!

In the preceding pages you will discover an easy way to make simple cakes and cupcakes using products that you wouldn’t ever consider to use in cakes like: cereals, cookies and more. Also simple techniques to make fondant figurines, and at the end of each project you will find a devotional, an inspiring word directly from my heart to yours.

Some of the cakes are more challenging than others, maybe the first one will not be successful, but don’t be discouraged, try again and again because as you know perfection comes with practice!

Dedication

This book is dedicated to all sweet lovers, cake decorators, cake enthusiast, and to those that would like to make the world a better and sweeter place. To my beautiful sons Norman Filho and Neythan and my dear and lovely husband Norman.
