The Big, Fun Book of Fake-Out Cakes by Food Network Magazine

The Big, Fun Book of Fake-Out Cakes by Food Network Magazine -- 175 pages

This is a new cookbook that came into the library.  It was very interesting to see the various cakes made to look like other things.  Some of them were very realistic.  I also liked that it used easy to make cake recipes or pre-made cakes and other ingredients.  However, I think that a lot of the fake out cakes are not necessarily geared towards children -- either in looks or difficulty of decorating.
