The official cake designer for Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding offers stunning new taste combinations that will change the way you bake cakes

Royal cake maker Fiona Cairns knows how important the seasons are when creating delicious cakes. Not only are ingredients at their very best and cheapest, but it also makes sense to be in tune with the changing colors, moods, and celebrations of the seasons. In the spring, why not try baking Rhubarb and Vanille Custard Cupcakes? On a hot summer's day enjoy a Peach Melba Gateau, and on a cold winter's afternoon curl up by the fireside and share a slice of Chocolate and Cardamom Tart, or Cranberry and Amaretto Stollen Cake. Fall is made for Maple and Pecan Autumn Leaves, or Spiced Butternut Mini Loaf Cakes. From edible gifts to party and celebration cakes, this cookbook is full of inspiration whatever the time of year or occasion. Many of the cakes in this book are accompanied by decorating ideas, as well as seasonal drink suggestions—Elderberry Cordial, Homemade Lemonade. Includes four placeholder ribbons and dual measurements.
