Stunning
Posted 3 years 5 months ago by Beverley
Took a bot of time to decided as to whether or not to order this book...as have far too many! Was not disappointed. The book is beautifully laid out, clear and precise and concise easy to follow instructions. So lovely to see a book where cakes are all actually made from cake and decorated in a clean and elegant way. The recipes for the cakes are also wonderful and a change from the 'normal'! Highly recommend - even if just to look through and dream :-)

Brilliant book
Posted 3 years 11 months ago by Tess
Pre-ordered this book, it was delivered within a few days, much earlier than expected. The book itself is fantastic, with projects for the cakes to work on with full instructions, meaning that relative beginners can complete the cakes through to the experienced! Brilliant format with a range of different projects making this book well worth the money
