5.0 out of 5 stars Debbie has enchanted fingers!, March 12, 2003

By	kvsugarart@aol.com "Kerry" (Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA) - See all my reviews

Sugar decorations are made to be removed and before the cake is served the heavy decorations are boxed to keep as souvenirs or cut away -- however, children always love to eat those pieces and wait impatiently for a tidbit. Debbie has a magical talent with a set of enchanted fingers. She creates her own whimsical characters in all sorts of amazing settings. Those that like to do novelty cakes should gather her books one by one, starting at the beginning and moving from one level to the next with each successive purchase. Rolled fondant needs to have added flavouring; just imagine buttercream with no vanilla! Excess rolled fondant trimmings can be rolled in tiny balls, dipped in chocolate then rolled in crushed nuts -- kids love it, adults too!

I always watch for Debbie's new publications as I admire her talent so.

She also comes to the United States from time to time, for those who need help getting started with novelty work taking her class would be a wonderful investment.

5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING RESULTS...even from an inexperienced cake decorator , January 24, 2005

By	Mom in California (USA) - See all my reviews

This is quite simply an amazing, inspiring and thoroughly fun book. I would have never attempted such a feat...but, what can I say, I got sort of swept up in the idea of it once I saw the fabulous pictures. Now, don't get me wrong. It did take some effort. But not nearly what I would have expected. The directions and instructions are perfectly detailed and clear. The results were completely amazing...my first-try, never-ever-decorated-a-cake-before, came out as close to Debbie Brown's magnificent creations as I could have ever hoped. The girls at my daughter's 7th b'day party ooooh'ed and ahhhhh'ed. The other moms were blown away. The only bad part is that now I'm looking for every opportunity I can to make another cake. It was just too much fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars One More Great Book from Debbie Brown, October 25, 2001

By	jumpy1 (New York, NY) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

In Enchanted Cakes Debbie Brown covers all the fairytales simply and sweetly. I love this book especially because it isn't commercial at all (even though I love her depictions of popular cartoons), but instead is her own interpretation of these favorite stories, which I find inspiring. Also, she keeps it very simple to the point that, though I haven't started on one yet, I can easily see that the shapes and designs are basic enough that one can leave the more complex details out and still have a great looking result. In that sense it's her least intimidating book so far! By basic I don't mean that you won't have a lot of colors to work with -- which is time-consuming of course, coloring and rolling the different pieces of sugarpaste, etc. But if that doesn't scare you off, it's definitely a good addition to any cake book collection, makes me smile just to look at, and one of the best value-for-money I've gotten this year.
