I love this book, if you are first time cake decorator, this will help you with not only how to use the equipment, but give you recipes as well. Good book for the begginer and the advanced.

Not only have I bought this book - I actually tried a few recipes.

I must say that I was sooooo deeply disappointed because some of the recipes were just not "it" - especially after having such high hopes with this title.

On the positive side, I will say that the graphics and the decorating ideas are great - you will just need to use your own recipes for cakes (at least the ones I tried).

I became interested in cake decorating and found this wonderful book. It gives step by step directions for baking and decorating a wide variety of cakes (and cupcakes) for all sorts of occasions and holidays. It also provides time-saving tips for when you don't have time to make cakes and frostings from scratch. I had no experience at creating pretty cakes before but now I can't wait for an occasion to make one.

This book is a fantastic book that covers all aspects of cake decorating. I have tried several recipes and must say that, through this particular book, I am hooked on this craft. The pictures are fantastic and the directions are very easy to read and comprehend. Also, the price of this book is an excellent value and bargain. I would highly recommend this book to anyone, without any reservation, even if you are novice cake decorator. The Christmas pine cone cake is great!

I really like this book because it offers wonderful ideas for elegant and fun cakes, but one can make them with a little creativity. This is in contrast to the Wilton Cake line of products, which are all about buying a certain product to make the cake. The Betty Crocker book teaches one how to make a train cake by making a regular cake, cutting and 'pasting' with frosting. My seven year-old daughter and I have a great time looking through this book. One of the best tips: using a paper towel to make a textured pattern on cake frosting. This book will remind you of how your mom used to make cakes. I highly recommend it!

This book gives me lots of ideas for creative birthday cakes and it tells me exactly what to do. Good instructions and easy ways to create wonderful cakes for your children. It is an old book, but is full of good stuff in my opinion. I've looked at many cake decorating books and this is one of the few that I really like because of its simplicity, good instructions, good recipes. Highly recommend.
