Deserves 10 stars!

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

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.

Adorable Cook and EASY to Follow

I love how this book breaks down the cakes by easy, moderate, and pretty involved. The cakes are so cute and it's fun to have your child get involved with you. It's very easy to follow.

You Can Have Your Cake And Eat It Too

October 13, 2010

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

What first attracted me to this book, other than the price, was the vibrant cover. I should have gone to the book store and looked at it before I bought it online. I was disappointed that I wasn't able to see pictures of actual cakes when I clicked on the link to look inside. The first few pages contained decorating information and tips and the last few pages were taken up with the book's index. Some of the cake ideas are cute, but you can find just as cute if not cuter ideas on family websites for free.

Bought this product used and in like new condition.
Its perfect for my 12 year old neice who loves cooking and just began cake decorating classes. Easy enough for her to complete them, but great practice to hone her new skills :) The ideas are simple but adorable, I was very pleased with this purcahse.

All Kids should learn to be creative

This book was sent to my great grandkids in Oklahoma. Since I'm not able to be there to bake for them I sent them the books (3 of them) and all the extras to make fun cakes and cupcakes. Hopefully it will get them doing something fun instead of just watching mindless TV

Excellent ideas also for beginners

The good thing about this book is that it has really good ideas and does not require you to be skillful with fondant or anything else. It is the idea and the tips to make it happen - and you have a cake everybody will be talking about.
