Item description from seller

Farnham, Surrey B. Dutton Publishing 2010 Bound, cloth with original dustjacket (protected with removable cellophane), 320pp., 24.5x29cm, richly illustr. in col., in very good condition. ISBN 9781905113156. The Art of Royal Icing is the long?awaited debut title from one of the world's greatest sugarcrafters. With a career in cake decorating spanning over six decades, the exceptional work of Eddie Spence MBE is presented in this unique and comprehensive book, demonstrating how you can use royal icing to decorate everything from an imposing wedding cake to a modest mini cake. Cake decorators of all abilities can learn and perfect the skills and techniques required for royal icing. There are ten step-by-step tutorials which take the reader through everything from simple scrolls and pressure piping to advanced techniques such as extension work and oriental string work. A collection of cake projects gives the reader the opportunity to put their skills into practice. As a celebration of a lifetime's work from one of the world's best-loved sugarcraft tutors, a biography of Eddie Spence tells the endearing and fascinating story of how a shy bakery apprentice came to become a master of royal icing. This book offers a structured and methodical treatise on royal icing techniques, combining practical tutorials with illustrative cake projects. It systematically introduces decorators - ranging from novices to experienced professionals - to progressive skills: beginning with foundational methods like scrollwork and pressure piping, then advancing to complex techniques such as extension work and intricate oriental string work. The pedagogical approach reflects the author's six-decade teaching career, weaving technical instruction with creative design. Additionally, the inclusion of Eddie Spence's personal biography situates his contributions within historical and pedagogical contexts, offering an educational narrative that merges craft mastery with instructional legacy.
