Cake Icing & Decorating - Jean Bowring

This lovely lady is Jean Bowring, who was an Australian writer and TV chef who hosted her own TV show 'The Jean Bowring Show' in Melbourne from 1957 to 1960.

Jean wrote this classic book, Cake Icing & Decorating, which is a guide to creating gorgeous cakes. One of my favourites in the book is this Tapestry Bag cake :

I love the fabulous pictures in this book, and though cake trends come and go, these cakes will always be classic!

This book is definitely worth adding to your collection!
