I am a pastry student and have used ideas from this book to help me deisgn projects for class. I feel that this book will add a great deal to my repitore of decorating skills on future projects. I am very pleased with this book. :O)

Beautiful Book, Great Ideas!

From geometric to whimsical to out and out gorgeous, the cakes in the book are a great inspiration to decorators at all levels. The recipes are British, but the decorating ideas are universal and the work is beautifully precise and clean. The step-by-step instructions are really well photographed and easy to follow. I just with the book were longer! I want more!

Beautiful cakes without the intimidation

I am new to baking and this book has completely inspired me. It is packed with so much information, that even I feel confident enough to make one of the beautiful designs featured in this book. There are plenty of pictures to walk you through the process and to unlock your own creativity. Another great thing about this book are the matching cupcakes. Those will come in handy for times when I'm feeling creative but do not have time to make an entire cake. I'm looking forward to purchasing more of Smith's books.

Well done

This book is no different from any of Lindy Smith's other books. She has brillant ideas and easy to follow instrustions. A must for all cake decorators.
