Great For Ideas

I think if you are trying to figure out what kind of a cake you want for your wedding this is a very helpful book. The cakes are beautiful and varied. As a pastry student I found it very helpful as far as getting ideas for my wedding cake project. I like the fact that there are formal and informal wedding cakes. Someone reviewing commented that some cakes were "sloppy" but many people prefer less formal cakes and this gives you plenty of both for ideas.

Beautiful cakes

This is a great book, if your looking for ideas. The pictures are beautiful and inspiring. It does not have any instruction on how to make these cakes, therefor, it seems best suited for someone looking for an idea to present to their local baker, or someone that has intermediate to advanced cake decorating skills.

Cakes for your Wedding

This book is a great resource if you are looking for ideas. My caterer liked it so much, she bought it off me!

for your wedding cakes

For an experienced decorator this book is great for up to date styles. It will give your brides new ideas, however I do not recommend it for beginner decorators because it does not have directions. It also will give you a basic view on how wedding cakes got started.

Excellent assortment of current cake styles.

As a wedding cake designer, I am always looking for inspiration from the top designers in the country- usually through wedding magazines. This book has many, many photos from the top designers of contemporary wedding cake styles. In the last month, I have had two brides come to me with this book in hand saying "I want this cake!" I said to myself, I have to buy a copy of this book!! Great for brides planning a wedding and looking for sophisticated cake designs- not your ordinary bakery style.
