Royal Icing: Intermediate Techniques (The Sugarcraft Skills Series)

Rating:
Summary: Some good idea's
Review: This is a book that i will keep but i do not believe i'll ever put it to much use.It has very good picture's,and some very,very nice cakes.I was hoping it would show alot of royal icing flower's,it only show's 7.The 7 that it does show the picture's are very small & there isnt much detail on how to make them.I was also hoping for several royal icing figure's.Not much of those either,just 3.They also use royal icing to completely ice the cake in,yuck! Royal icing dries rock hard & does not taste very well,even with extract added.It does have some nice templates in the back that you could use for anything.It has Alphabet templates,in 2 different styles,a sleigh,sailboat, and some scrolls.If your looking for a book on making some really cute figure's for cakes,then look up Roland Winbeckler's book's.If its more detail on flower's & all kinds of decoating,then nothing beats a Wilton catalog & thier video's.
