5.0 out of 5 stars Parents will appreciate the kid-friendly animal themes, August 18, 2006
This review is from: Party Animal Cakes: 15 Fantastic Designs (Paperback)
The eye-catching animal cakes featured on the cover and back of PARTY ANIMAL CAKES may look difficult to make, but with Lindy Smith's step-by-step, color photo enhanced directions in hand, it's a piece of cake to produce them. A base cake round, fondant, and icing along with a cutting template are usually all that's needed, and sidebars of materials and equipment lists assure cooks have everything they need right at hand. These aren't quick productions nor are they for baking beginners, but cooks with some experience will find this takes them the next step from average to extraordinary cake-making. Parents will appreciate the kid-friendly animal themes.

4.0 out of 5 stars I wish there was a, June 11, 2007
This review is from: Party Animal Cakes: 15 Fantastic Designs (Paperback)
I wish there was a bit more detail in the step-by-step instructions, perhaps more illustrations, but ultimately this is an awesome book that is a life saver when trying to come up with ideas for cakes and parties.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice book, January 25, 2010
This review is from: Party Animal Cakes: 15 Fantastic Designs (Paperback)
I'm new to cake decorating and as a result looking for books that really teach techniques and are not just full of pretty pictures. If like me you're trying to get familiar with the concept of shaping/carving cake this is a great book to start with. It includes templates (which i would be completely lost without) and instructional photos. The cakes were really cute and would be perfect for a younger audience. I also think some could be modified for more of an adult feel. If you're like me and new to the hobby this would be a great book for your collection.
