I would have liked to have known that Beverly Clark Minis meant the book was the size of about 15 credit cards stacked high. The cakes look good, but because the book is so small (smaller than the palm of your hand) details are hard to make out. I can't put this on my bookshelf. It goes straight to the bottom of my purse, along side my lost mirror.

This is a great little book for decorators and brides alike! As a cake decorator, it's so nice to be able to buy just the part of the book I'm interested in at a reasonable price. This book has info on the history of wedding cakes, what to consider in choosing your design, etc., and has pictures of no less than 35 contemporary wedding cakes.

I wish I would of known I needed a microscope to see this book. I needed a book to get some ideas for cake styles and I can barely see the cake let alone the details. It should have the book size in the description.

Despite other reviewers' complaints, the size of this is listed if you're paying attention!

Meanwhile, even though the size is bizarre and I can't quite understand what the point of it is, this is a nicely put together little book with some very nice, generally inspiring photos. Thoroughly worth the price!

... and an absolute favorite in my collection, just for inspiration (which is, honestly, about all it's good for).

But that's no small thing: there is great variety in terms of styles within and the photography, while admittedly small, is clear and good. Several of the most beautiful cakes I've ever seen are included.

Come on, you hard reviewers, you! It's dirt cheap and utterly adorable, and I'd argue very good value for your money. After all, no single cake decorating book on its own will provide you everything you need and want, and this is no exception. Still, it's WELL worth adding to a collection.

And unless your bookends have really huge holes in them, it DOES stand up on the bookshelf ... I swear.

Great little book with glossy pictures of many contemporary wedding cake designs. Nice for brides-to-be or decorator/designers alike to get the imagination going. Also has some neat information on the history of wedding cakes. A friend of mine used these as bridal shower table gifts
