Chel (Downey, California United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cake Decorator's Motif Bible: 150 Fabulous Fondant Designs with Easy-to-Follow Charts and Photographs (Hardcover-spiral)
I really love this book! I took a chance when I bought this book and it has never let me down. It has the easiest designs to follow especially if I am in need of any quick fondant motif ideas. I would highly recommend this book. I am a home baker and I think the instructions in this book are easy to understand. I hope the author comes up with another book like this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most informative and easy to use, January 29, 2009

This review is from: The Cake Decorator's Motif Bible: 150 Fabulous Fondant Designs with Easy-to-Follow Charts and Photographs (Hardcover-spiral)
For a project I decided to do after one to may episodes of Ace of Cakes, this book, of the 4 I purchased was the best. It gave easy recipes for cake and frosting. Plus very easy descriptions, plus pictures, in color! of how to make the recipes. It was also very good with directions on how to use fondant and of course 150 motifs. This is really the only book you need if your a beginner and want to try cake decorating as a hobby. Other highlights are the ring binder, stays open on counter, pages cleaned nicely too when I got confection sugar all over it! Its a nice size book to work with and read. Best Ive seen. Thanks amazon.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great for 2-D motifs, needs a lot more 3-D, November 24, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Cake Decorator's Motif Bible: 150 Fabulous Fondant Designs with Easy-to-Follow Charts and Photographs (Hardcover-spiral)
I like this book but wish that there were more 3-D motifs included. Most of the designs are flat or slightly rounded, which is fine for the side of a cake or laying down on the top, but there's not much that you can do that can stand on its own.
