By	"lrhnancy" (Charlotte, North Carolina) - See all my reviews

Once again i love this Authors work,i really wish he would make some new ones.However the ones that are out there are very useful.This one has some very cute figures & it goes step by step on how to make them.Everyone will want to know how you did it.It does have black & white pictures for alot of things but it does give us the final product in color & some of the steps in color.It does have a tool list so you will know the right tip to use.The figures it shows how to do are: a baseball player,a drunk looking person,a housewife w/a mop,clown,bride & groom,circus lion,motorcycle,skier,teddy bear,bonnet girl,race car,& a stork.If you like to create figures with icing this Author has great books for you no matter what your experience is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Figure Piping is so easy and fun!, April 13, 2000

By A Customer

Although this book is fairly old, it is the easiest instruction book for figure piping decorations on cakes and cupcakes. It's step by step directions and ideas make it very simple to follow. This is also one of the few books I have been able to locate on this topic. Anyone who is into decorating cakes, etc should use this book for great instruction.
