Author Bio
Helen Penman began her cake-making career when her triplets were
two years old: she had ordered a cake for her father's birthday and
it was a huge disappointment-so she decided to try it herself. That
was 18 years ago! Helen now designs for an international sugarcraft
magazine Cakes and Sugarcraft alongside her cake artistry business
"Too Nice To Slice." This is her fifth book, and her previous
titles include Squires Kitchen's Guide to Cake Shaping (Squires
Group, 2011), Fondant Modeling for Cake Decorators (Firefly, 2011),
and 100 Fondant Animal Cake Toppers (Firefly, 2012).
