Summary: Best Buy for self-taught sugarcrafters
Review: Start with Book 1: Beginners, to get the foundation of sugarcraft skills then move onto this one, the advanced version with many more expanded techniques. As in Book 1, Book 2 lays out each technique step-by-step, with gorgeous photographs and easy to understand text. These are progressive lessons in sugarcraft, each building on the skills learned in the previous one.
The text is written for an international audience with metric measurements and imperial in parenthesis. There are occasional bumps in the translation for American readers(the reference to a "cake board" is actually a "cake drum" found in British import or specialty baking shops),however, 99% of the math is done for you and I had no trouble doing the little bit of calculating needed. It is good practice for other books on sugarcraft you will no doubt want to buy later that only use metric measurements and international terms. The designs are unique and very do-able, although patience is a requirement. Practice, practice, practice.I strongly recommend purchasing Book 1:Beginners, as this book is a continuation to advance your skills and not a starting point. Recipes are included with an array of patterns and a glossary of terms. My only complaint with these books is that they aren't spiral-bound to lay flat.
