A Wonderful Asset for the Beginner,
By A Customer
This review is from: Airbrush Techniques For Cake Decorating (Paperback)
I picked up this book when I first purchased my airbrush. I was able to read through this book and immediately create a stencil and use my airbrush for wonderful backgrounds. The colorful photos and easy-to-understand directions make this a need-to-have beginners handbook.

A piece of ....!! (Yes, exactly that!!),
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Airbrush Techniques For Cake Decorating (Paperback)
Total waste of money!
You will have much, MUCH more fun burning your $12.95! There you have your 18 pieces of paper, and 1/4 is devoted to portraits-can you believe this? So, you have your Elvis (step by step), then there is James Dean, Abe Lincoln, JFK, Marilyn and-get this-Jean-Luc Picard!! I waited all my life to put the brave captain of the Enterprise on my birthday cake! Why there are no Klingons and Volcans, I don't know-maybe those are saved for the next edition? The rest of the book is not much better-few basic instructions, on the verge of banality and that's it. A piece of ....! Watch your step!
