Bride's Little Book of Cakes And Toasts

For the bride-to-be, her mother, and all those planning a wedding, the editors of BRIDE'S magazine have condensed their volumes of experience into an intimate and creative guide to the sweetest of wedding treats -- the cake.

Bride's Little Book Of Cakes And Toasts illustrates (in over 30 full-color photographs) every imaginable wedding confection -- piece montee, an edible wicker basket, a cake of gold leaf and cascading flowers, and many more.

The treasury also explores the evolution of this edible celebration from wheat biscuits to sugared splendor. Here are the best in cake knives (simple sterling to silver-tipped garden spade), instructions for decorating a cake table, serving and toasting traditions, and recipes -- for wedding cake and punch.

From engagement to wedding day, Bride's Little Book Of Cakes And Toasts will be the bride's constant companion.
