ABOUT THE PUBLISHER:
Parragon Books focus on illustrated, non-author driven, non-fiction books. Their books are of the highest quality while still maintaining mainstream accessibility.

Their main publishing areas are cookbooks, adult non-fiction, children's books and licensed character books. Within these publishing areas we publish under our own Parragon brand; under in-house brands such as Love Food™ or Goldstars™; or under retailers’ own proprietary brands. We create books for beloved characters such as Disney, Dora the Explorer, Ben 10, Discovery Kids, Power Rangers, Barbie, Sesame Street and Marvel. To find out more about Parragon Books, visit their website HERE. 

SAMPLE RECIPE/TECHNIQUES: 
6 Easy Cake Decorating Ideas
NONPAREILS: 
Arrange the chocolate candies in geometric patterns. Try alternating large disks with clusters of miniature ones.
******************************** 
GUMDROP ROSES:
Lightly dust a work surface with granulated sugar. With a rolling pin, roll 3 gumdrops to a thickness of ⅛ inch, then cut the rounds in half crosswise. Roll 1 piece into a tight bud and pinch it at one end to form the center of the flower. Place the remaining pieces around the center, overlapping them slightly and pressing them together at the base. Trim the bottom to form a flat base before setting it on the cake.
********************************
CANDIED LEMONS
In a small saucepan, bring ¾ cup water and ¾ cup sugar to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add 1 thinly sliced lemon and simmer until tender and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and let cool completely on a rack before placing on the cake. 
 ******************************** 
STRAWBERRIES
Thinly slice 1 quart of fresh strawberries. Starting from the outside perimeter, place a ring of strawberries around the cake, points facing out. Continue layering concentric rings around the cake until you reach the center. Carefully brush with ¼ cup warm seedless raspberry jam. 
******************************** 
COOKIE BALLOONS
Spread several vanilla wafer cookies with frosting and top with colored sprinkles. Cluster on the cake and form the balloon strings with licorice shoestrings. (Knot them for extra effect.) 
******************************** 
MERINGUES 
Arrange store-bought meringues around the edge of the cake for a crunchy alternative to piped-frosting rosettes.
