Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I really really like this book. It contain real cake decoration to make at home forget about fondant. It uses icing but it does not contain a recipe for buttercream for which i contact Matthew Mead on his website but I DID NOT GET AN ANSWER.. oh well this is worth every penny! Beautiful designs and difficulty levels & a lot of ideas.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE Book to get!, May 12, 2009
I absolutely loved this Book, All of the project ideas, are doeable, easy to understand , I loved every page of it. We have not tried any of it yet but my 6 year old daughter wants to have the Teacups for her birthday party in september. I recommend it if you want ideas that are simple, extra cute and somewhat beginner techniques.
