Summary: Not great
Review: There is absolutely nothing here that you will not find in countless other baking books. There are surprisingly few recipes- and nothing out of the ordinary. You will find basic recipes for chocolate chip cookies, waffles, apple pie. You can find those in any Betty Crocker anthology.There are few illustration in the disapointing little book. The few that htere are show elaborately decorated cakes- which a re beutiful, but it lacks clear instructions of hpw to craft such creations. I think there are such books on the market which will be a better bet than this one.

Summary: clever and challenging!
Review: When I first saw this book I had just begun decorating cakes (initially I thought it was too difficult without enough pictures.) I didn't buy it until two months later after reading and investigating much of what the cake decorating world is currently producing. I feel strongly that it is more rewarding to create cakes that people can actually eat and enjoy, not just look at, then pick all the flowers off. I love this book because although it does not offer all of it's secrets outright, it has challenged me and given me a foundation to begin my own craft of cake decorating art. Most of all I appreciate the detailed information on colors. I have read my book at least 15 times and continue to absorb new information every time. This is the best book that I own. Thank you Anne and I can't wait for your next book!
