A very good book!,
This review is from: Complete Cake Decorating: Techniques, Basic Recipes and Beautiful Cake Projects for All Occasions (Hardcover)
Last year, I asked my friend Katty, who lives in the United States to order this book for me (I still have some problems to order from here). The matter is that I was not actually sure if it would be a good book. Now, I do not repent having bought it. It is a very good book, all recipes have a beautiful photo, and you can find basic recipes in it: layer, fruit cake, glacé, frostings, and more. Explanations are very clear too. Be sure you will find many creative ideas here. Buy it!

Excellent Book--Stunning Pictures,
This review is from: Complete Cake Decorating: Techniques, Basic Recipes and Beautiful Cake Projects for All Occasions (Hardcover)
This is a Unique and Creative Cake Decorating Book with Large, Colorful, and Stunning Pictures. It definitely stands apart from the other Cake Decorating books I have read. It has simple, step-by-step instructions that cover how to make each cake and cake frosting as well as each decorating technique. It also covers a large variety of cakes including: Holiday Cakes, Special Occassion Cakes, Kid's Birthday Cakes, Fruit Cakes, Roll Cakes, Theme Cakes, Wedding Cakes, etc... This book is filled with fun ideas and it is definitely a Must-Have for any Cake Lover.
