Start with Book 1: Beginners, to get the foundation of sugarcraft skills then move onto this one, the advanced version with many more expanded techniques. As in Book 1, Book 2 lays out each technique step-by-step, with gorgeous photographs and easy to understand text. These are progressive lessons in sugarcraft, each building on the skills learned in the previous one.
The text is written for an international audience with metric measurements and imperial in parenthesis. There are occasional bumps in the translation for American readers(the reference to a "cake board" is actually a "cake drum" found in British import or specialty baking shops),however, 99% of the math is done for you and I had no trouble doing the little bit of calculating needed. It is good practice for other books on sugarcraft you will no doubt want to buy later that only use metric measurements and international terms.

The designs are unique and very do-able, although patience is a requirement. Practice, practice, practice.I strongly recommend purchasing Book 1:Beginners, as this book is a continuation to advance your skills and not a starting point. Recipes are included with an array of patterns and a glossary of terms. My only complaint with these books is that they aren't spiral-bound to lay flat.

The International School of Sugarcraft Book Two is a great addition to anyone's Decorating Library. I was able to view things I never knew were possible. Absolutely worth the investment

I bought this book for the instructions for making cold porcelain flowers. It has some great instructions, BUT I have never done this before and it will take a lot of practice. SO if I do not learn it
will not be this books fault.

I love this book. There are still al lot of things that are over my head but that's alright. This is more like a text book for cake decorators. He uses a lot more Royal Frosting then we do here in the USA but again, that's ok. His instructions on sugar flowers is very, very good. It is a thick book and you will find all kinds on information within it.

More great pictures and easily understood instructions.

This book has a lot of information that is great. It goes to the next step of cake decorating.

Pratice, easy and completly. One of the best buys. The autor its incridble and extremaly professional.
