Beautiful book
Posted 10 months ago by Ann
Fabulous book with good instructions. Disappointing I can't actually buy the cutters to create the flowers as you don't have them in stock!
Reply from Squires Kitchen Shop
Thanks for the feedback Ann, we're really glad you like the book, Naomi is an amazing artist. Unfortunately it's taken longer than planned but we hope to have the cutters very soon. Do get in touch with our customer services team so they can let you know when the cutters are available.
