The 2009 Wilton Yearbook is a great source of ideas for all levels of bakers making cakes for every possible occasion. Wilton publishes a yearbook every year with new ideas to keep up with the most popular characters, celebration themes and new products. For example, there is a special 20 page section featuring 3-D desserts. This section has pictures of cakes shaped like dinosaurs, robots and dollhouses. New products in this yearbook include the Wall-E cake pan, Wall-E cake toppers, a giant cupcake cake pan and footed silicone baking cups. There are also many classic cake ideas such as teddy bear, flower and dinosaur cakes. The yearbook includes cake, cupcake and cookie ideas for occasions such as holidays, birthdays, graduations, baby showers and weddings.
The yearbook is essentially a catalog of Wilton cake decorating products. Although the yearbook has numerous cake ideas, there are even more products and ideas on the Wilton website. For instance, there is a larger variety of Sesame Street and Disney cake pans on the website. The yearbook only depicts the newest and most popular party themes. It is not a complete catalog of all Wilton products.
The yearbook has countless pictures of cakes. Along with each picture, there is a list of pans, tools, decorations, recipe names and instructions for creating the cake. The list is basically a shopping list for everything you need to bake the desired cake along with the instructions describing how to assemble and decorate the cake. The accompanying instructions are relatively easy to follow depending on the experience of the baker. (Beginners may need to learn and practice basic cake decorating techniques.)
There are also sections in the yearbook focusing on recipes (icing, cookies, cheesecake, fondant, etc.), cake decorating tips and cake cutting guides. I like the Tip Techniques section. This section demonstrates how to use a variety of cake decorating tips with pictures and instructions. There are similar sections called Flower-Making Techniques, Fondant/Gum Paste Techniques and Candy Making Techniques.
