beautiful vintage cake decorating book...

I had to share this beautiful vintage cake book I found recently.  Or maybe I should be more careful about what I call vintage - because it was first published in 1965..... excellent year for many things, ahem.  Anyway, your are only as vintage as you feel!

Back to the book, it was the delicious, strong pastel colours on the cover that first caught my eye.  Then inside, the colour pages are heavenly.  Some very quirky colour mixes are used, which always appeals to me, and some gorgeous, deeply kitsch cake decorating ideas have started me thinking about breaking out the icing sugar this afternoon.

Yum. hx
