Its time to Bake, Decorate and Celebrate; you're invited to celebrate all of the occasions in your life with sweet treats. No prior experience needed — cake decorating has never been so easy and fun.

Each week includes a feature theme and specialty cakes for that occasion plus adaptations for other events. We also have a second related project with other ideas for that celebration. And last we feature a third project with related ideas for that special party.

Each week also features 2 tips. The first is Decorating Basics — easy first steps for successful baking. The second tip — is actually a "decorating" tip! We feature a different cake decorating tip each week and easy instructions on how to achieve beautiful designs with just that tip.
