Customer Reviews

Great for first starting out
If you are new to cake decorating then you will love this book. Its covers great topics such as decorating tips, transporting your cake, how to cut your cake and even gives you some great receipes too.

Everything for beginners
This is very informative one. I have all the answers in this book and you can really build confidence towards getting into cake decorating business! I have bought some books for decorating but mostly is for picture presentation purposes but this one is really a good one to keep well explained as most of the Books For Dummies.

Great Primer
The recipes in the book were good, but the best part about the book were the simplest tips. Basic information on how to frost cakes was the most valuable, but also the step-by-step guide on how to make specific theme cakes for birthdays, weddings, showers and whatever else the author dreamed up.
