Summary: All about the sugar frosting
Review: This book is the same as many Wedding Cake books I find, in that it is all about the frosting -- outdated, sugary, unimaginative flavors on novelty cakes that don't have much to say for themselves except sweet, sweet sweet. Brides today have had enough pretty-but-flavorless cakes that are only a showpiece, eaten somewhat reluctantly by guests who feel compelled to partake. They want something beyond piles of fluffy sugar that leaves a thick coating on the tongue. This book doesn't provide it.

Summary: A Disappointment
Review: Weinstock is a master, the Da Vinci of cake decorationg! Her presentations are gorgeous. The recipes included are straight-forward. Not recipes for the novice but even if you never try to make one of the cakes it is a beautiful and nicely written book. No wonder the very wealthy come to her when they want a special cake. If I could afford it I certainly would! This book is a gem.

Summary: One Recipe Made Me A Fan!
Review: Weinstock's recipe for yellow butter cake was worth the price of the book. I'm not an experienced baker but was able to follow her recipe without a hitch. And the cake itself was THE BEST I've ever eaten (and believe me, I've eaten some cake!). In fact, friends and I first ate the cake plain --unable to wait for the icing! I'm a fan--so much so, that I keep a copy of Weinstock's butter cake recipe on the frige. When I bake cakes for people I love, it's Weinstock's recipes I use.
