It all started with a dream. A few friends lounging in the park on a sunny day, eating cake. Elisa Sunga posted an invitation to that very first cake picnic, and to her surprise and delight, nearly 200 people showed up. And so began her picnic days … in LA, New York, in Sydney and London and Paris. Cake Picnic – Recipes for the Love of Cake and Friends is her part recipe collection, part how-to guide … showing cake lovers how to plan, organise, host and attend a cake picnic. And then there are the recipes. Orange Blossom Chantilly Cake. Chamomile Honey Cake. Confetti Ritz Icebox Cake. Just one delicious creation after another. And the Malted Chocolate and Black Cocoa Mousse Trifle is a thing of joy. R695, Chronicle Books
