Description
Cake Design Recipe: Congmom's Cake Diary 2 by Jung Hayeon is a practical study of contemporary fresh-cream cake design, progressing from cake construction and icing fundamentals into 42 finished designs for celebrations, seasons and special occasions.
The book begins with the skills that determine whether decorative work will succeed: understanding dairy whipping cream, choosing the correct cream density for different applications, cutting genoise evenly, filling and masking cakes, and preparing flavoured whipped creams, ganaches and sponge bases.
From there, Hayeon expands the familiar celebration cake into floral designs, modelling-chocolate cakes, chocolate bands, heart-shaped and dome cakes, baskets, wreaths, squares and multi-tier formats. Techniques such as transfer sheets, St. Honoré piping, cake combs, fresh flowers and shaped icing are introduced through finished projects that can later be adapted into original designs.
The 42 cakes also cover a wide range of seasonal and occasion-driven themes, showing how the same core cake and cream systems can be transformed without rebuilding the recipe from scratch.
For cake decorators, pastry shops, instructors and ambitious home bakers, Congmom's Cake Diary 2 is especially useful for moving beyond basic round-cake masking into a much broader vocabulary of fresh-cream cake design.
