About this item

Internet star Christine McConnell bakes, decorates, sews, and styles it all . . . with a twist - now she shows you how to do it on a shoestring budget.Photographer and stylist Christine McConnell transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary - from everyday dinners, to desserts for all occasions, to the walls of your kitchen, and even some over-the-top creations just for fun. Taking inspiration from the likes of Tim Burton, Wes Craven, Alfred Hitchcock, and Vincent Price and mixing in a dash of Stepford Wife, McConnell's baking and home DIY projects are a league above and beyond anything you've seen before. In Deceptive Desserts each dessert is a work of art - some a little twisted, others magical - but every recipe inspires readers to create their own rules without spending a fortune.
