Cakes From The Tooth Fairy

Featuring a foreword by Gary Rhodes, this is a book full of delicious, simple cake recipes that are much kinder to teeth!

Free from regular sugar, the cakes are made with xylitol, also known as birch sugar. Xylitol is a natural substance made from birch bark which has a cariostatic effect that actively inhibits tooth decay. Written in consultation with a qualified dentist, this book is ideal for those baking for (and with) young children; and for anyone who loves cakes and baking but is concerned about caring for their teeth. Light-hearted and fun, yet extremely practical, this little volume is packed full of recipes. They range from expected old favourites such as Fairy Cakes and Butterfly Cakes to the more unusual Marigold Buns, Scented Geranium Cakes, and Courgette Cakes. There are also plenty of tips from the Tooth Fairy on tooth care and even an 'Ask the Tooth Fairy' section which covers intriguing questions such as 'what do the fairies do with all those teeth?'

'I love the mix of fruity flavours and not forgetting the many British classics, which all help to inspire the mixing, whisking, baking, and of course the best bit, the eating.' Gary Rhodes. 'So far we (my nephews and nieces and I) have made banana cake, banana muffins, fairy cakes and cheese scones which all turned out well (and my partner really enjoyed the wicked cheese and chilli muffins!)' 'A great recipe book for recipes alone and with added bonus of encouraging your kids to understand and look after their teeth without the pain of a 'boring lession'. Members of the 'My favourite recipe is for sweet courgette muffins with lemon and vanilla. Absolutely gorgeous.'
