Natasha Collins is the owner of the legendary boutique cake-making company Nevie-Pie Cakes, known for supplying high-profile brands, celebrity clients, and individuals with delicious, decadent pastries.

In The Painted Cake, Natasha reveals how party-throwers and pastry lovers can create incredible treats in their own homes using fondant painted with edible colors. Thirty recipes are presented for cakes, cookies, and cupcakes, and a wealth of carefully-selected designs range from classic to contemporary, quirky to lushly romantic, and include ones appropriate for all types of parties and levels of festivities—casual gatherings to gala events.

Brightly and beautifully designed in the spirit of Natasha’s creations, The Painted Cake is a gorgeous four-color volume with exquisite images on every page. Chapters open with elegant two-page spreads. Easy-to-follow instructions are paired with high-quality step-by-step photographs and finished product shots. Handmade watercolor illustrations on pages throughout exemplify and complement the painted pastry designs.
