5.0 out of 5 stars
Pleased amateur baker mother!,
By
This review is from: The Icing on the Cake (Paperback)
This book is just great! so easy ideas to follow unlike other books (Wilton) which instructions are REALLY hard to follow. This book is perfect for the amateur baker like me, who wants easy work to look fancy and decorative. The guides that are giving between European measurements and American measurements are just great! However, when you follow a recipe you must follow the measurements carefully because there are some print typos. Enjoy!

This book is good for beginner. There are step-by-step pictures show how to decorate the cake. If you are a intermediate or advance decorator, I don't recommend this book. The pictures is easy to follow.
