Easy to follow instructions and tempting photographs for the beginner to expert cake decorator. Includes foolproof recipes for delicious cakes, many types of frostings, fondant, flower-making, borders, and more. Detailed step-by-step decorating instructions make it easy to create professional results at home. Excellent selection of delicious cake recipes with accompanying glazes, fillings, and decorating ideas. This is the most comprehensive book I have read on cake decorating. Tired of leafing through countless bookshelves for recipes, creative ideas, and decorating instructions? This book is for you. The Ultimate Cake Decorator has it all!

I've recently gotten into making elaborate cakes, and have bought several books about decorating. This is the best one of all, with great batters and besides the frosting ideas, there are also beautiful ways to decorate with split figs, nuts, and glazes. Each cake is shown finished, and the method is accompanied by several pictures of the key steps or techniques. Although a book about elaborate decorating, several of the holiday cakes are classics presented in more up-to-date versions, getting away from the icky dried fruits that nobody likes. These could be dessert for French or Italian dinner parties, with guaranteed oohs and ahs. It's an inspiring book, well thought out, great photos, a treasure chest of new ideas. The other reviews offer great comments, too.
