The Fine Art Of Cake Decorating

Several thousands years ago the ancient Greeks were backing cakes of fruit and honey with which to appease gods and celebrate fertility and plenty.It's unlikely that they would recognize today's fabulous cakes,spread with rich icing of chocolate,eggs or cream,embellished with sugar flowers and tiny figures,or covered in a lattice of delicate
piping,as a continuous history of the same celebratory food. Antonin  Careme,one of the most renowned chefs of recent

centuries,memorably remarked that the are five fine arts -sculpture, painting, poetry music and architecture-and that the confectioners is the only artist to have mastered four of the five.
