A Great Cake Decorating Tool,
This review is from: Buttercream Flowers and Arrangements (Paperback)
I had to wait 5 weeks for this book to get to me{out of print} & i'm glad Amazon could get it for me.I have just about every book this Author has made & i love them all.As long as you have a little bit of icing decorating experience you can use any of his books.The only reason i rated it 4 stars instead of 5 is because not all the pictures are in color.It does however show the finished product in color.As a matter of fact it will show it in several different colors & on different cakes.What it will show you how to do is bag striping,holly & dogwood leaves,rosebuds,foliage,pinecone,orchid,daffodils,drop flowers, poinsettia,candle,rose,chrysanthemums,pansies,violets, carnations,dahlias and daises.Whew! Alot of stuff in a thin book.

Wish I Had'nt Bought This Book,
By Lin "golf addict" (Malaysia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Buttercream Flowers and Arrangements (Paperback)
I wish I had'nt bought this book! My only excuse is that I needed some guidelines for decorating in buttercream, and after reading the reviews, thought this book might do the trick. I was mistaken.I have given 2 stars, as the recipe is good (I have used it to create buttercream flowers learnt from other books), and the few colour photos look beautiful. However, as a teaching aid, there just is'nt enough detail to help the reader achieve what is shown. What is there is sketchy at best, with no clear instructions to help overcome problems a learner would face. The book is too thin for the price...it just feels like everything is condensed and crammed in. This book may help if you are already an accomplished buttercream artist, like the author, but definitely not if you're looking to learn something new. Winbeckler is'nt into giving away too many secrets in his book.

Great reference book...,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Buttercream Flowers and Arrangements (Paperback)
I purchased this book in November looking for ideas to decorate a cake for a Christmas party. The concepts and designs are beautiful, however, I found that the instructions were not very easy to follow. I could not recreate some of the flowers which were illustrated. Apart from that, I love the way he layout his designs.
