4.0 out of 5 stars great recipes,but scanty directions, December 14, 1999

By A Customer

This book had excellent recipes for cookies--not too sweet--and easy to follow directions. When it comes to directions for decorating, pictures would have been helpful. Most directions read: using spatula, spread icing in the ---area, or pipe on eyes,etc. It would be nice if there were patterns to follow. As it is,you have to keep referring back to the photos on the cover or center spread. Overall, though, a very good book with lots of information about where to get supplies and how to make your own cookie cutters.

2.0 out of 5 stars Huge disappointment, January 10, 2003

By	"mariulv" (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews

The cookie recipes are disappointing. Some are for cookies that are not sturdy enough for cookie decorating. I found the proportions of ingredients in many of the recipes off, to the point where either they were too greasy or the cookie dough couldn't hold together. However, the instructions for how to decorate using different types of icing were helpful. I think this is a good book for ideas or design inspiration, but skip the recipes.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book, I use it for inspiration for each season, October 26, 1999

The directions are clear and helpful I have easily learned the techniques. The recipes taste great and always work. The pictures are beautiful, I have successfully reproduced many of them and used the ideas to create other cookies.
