Peggy Porschen is one of the most prominent and pioneering names in contemporary cake design. Renowned for her exquisite craftsmanship combined with a love of baking, her passion is for creating delectable works of art that taste as good as they look. This new book captures the essence of Peggy's technical skill and inspired use of colour while also ensuring that each cake is both achievable and delicious to eat. Boutique Baking has an unrivalled range of recipes that combines traditional baking with chic, simple finishing touches. The first chapter, Sweet Treats, features all-time favourites such as Meringue kisses and Macaroons as well as Peggy's take on Cake pops. In Beautiful Biscuits there are recipes inspired by her German origins including Gingerbread Men and Mulled Wine Stars. The third chapter focuses on the most desirable cake phenomenon of the decade - the cup cake, and Peggy gives away the secret of her incredibly scrumptious repertoire of gourmet cup cakes. The Luscious Layer Cake chapter provides stunning ideas for sophisticated occasions while Classic Cakes & Bakes shows how to revive traditional recipes, creating gorgeous looking and delicious cakes, such as Neapolitan marble cake and Chocolate Battenberg. Last but certainly not least the book closes with a chapter on fabulous finishing touches, basic recipes for frostings and fillings, and delicious ideas for home-made drinks that perfectly accompany the cakes. Seductive and indulgent, this is Peggy's most accessible book to date.

Exquisite, yet again!

Peggy Porschen's new book Boutique Baking moves away somewhat from the detailed sugarcraft creations and celebrity style wedding cakes, to a more high-end afternoon tea style.
The cakes are as beautiful as ever, and no doubt have already set the trends for cake decorating in 2013. Yet there is still lots to inspire the less experienced cake decorator in this book.
In particular, I loved the cake pops served in an ice cream cone rather than on a stick, as well as the show-stopping "luscious layer cakes" and the beautiful piping on the Glorious Victoria Cake.
My favourite cakes of all in the book are the raspberry and rose dome cake - this is a cake shape trend we'll be seeing a lot more of soon, the white chocolate passion cake decorated with birthday candles and triple berry layered cheesecakes. A beautiful finale were the drinks recipes such as pink lemonade, hot white chocolate with vanilla and summer berry ice tea. Exquisite, yet again!

If you buy this book you won't regret! Peggy Porschen is so generous! All the recipes of this book are mouth watering and they really work! The cupcakes - such as prize winning Black Forest or Strawberry Champagne - are all hors concours! The prize winning carrot cake is outstanding! So moist and delicious! I got a bunch of fans when I made it. All my family and friends called asking me for the recipe! I highly recommend this book if you want to take your baking skills to another level of excellence.
