2.0 out of 5 stars Fun to look at, but would you eat it?, August 26, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Fun Cakes: For Special Occasions (Paperback)

If you like working with sugarpaste (fondant) and the people you bake for like eating it, this is a very nice book. My grandchildren and friends prefer good ol' American buttercream, thank you, so although I own this book and find it attractive, I will probably never actually make anything from it.
