Customer Reviews

If you do not already own a Fondant book,then this is it.

I was looking forward to getting this book.I was disappointed that it has alot of the same cakes and ideas that several of my other books already have.If you don't have any books on fondant or only have a couple, then i would suggest getting this book.It has lots of picture's & does a good job on explaining what to do.

Creativity at it's best!

I just recieved this book about a month ago, and how amazed I was. There are so many wonderful ideas in this book. It's a must for any cake decorator to have in there collection! It has full, easy to follow, color page instructions for each of the cakes, including recipes for cakes and icings used. There's a Volts Wagen cake that they shaped out of regular square cake. Awesome! The barbie cake is so beautiful, any little girl would fall in love with it. I could keep going on and on. I totally recommend this book, and hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Great Variety and Originality

This book is one of my favorites. Birthday cakes are covered for children, adults, men, women. There are a variety of ideas and also a good number of basic skills that can be used to design and create your own cakes. Cakes ranging from easy to more difficult are shown which allows this book to be an asset no matter the level of the decorator.
