Cakemoji: Recipes & Ideas for Sweet-Talking Treats

Description

Everybody speaks emoji, but with this book, Cakemoji, we can now all eat emoji too. Over 50% of all sentences currently posted on instagram contain an emoji; it is the world's fastest growing language with the visual icons set to become the lead characters in an animated movie currently in production at Sony Pictures. We all have our favorite emojis that can now be brought to life in cake or cookie form. With the classic smiley face chocolate cakes iced in coloured fondant, choose from winky face, kissy face, blushing face or the newly released, bespectacled nerdy face. Other cake and cookie designs include ghost macarons, poop cupcakes, pizza slice cake, fizzing bomb cake pops, sassy girl cake, catface cookies, coloured heart funfetti cookies and - of course - a unicorn rainbow cake. With clear instructions for the basic recipes and techniques and full step-by-step photographs to guide you through the cake and cookie decoration method, this fun recipe book will soon have everybody pulling a slurpy face.

For those who love to use emojis, and you know who you are, there's a new cookbook that let's you speak emoji via cake. . . The wacky creations take time (some more than others--see the difficulty level assigned to each), but the results are pretty spectacular. Cakemoji thoughtfully provides templates for all the projects, and step-by-step photo instructions on everything from coloring frosting to working with fondant, rendering the whole thing less intimidating to me. - Seira Wilson, Omnivoracious
