Great cake book for the basics and beyond,
By K Quigley (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beginners Guide to Cake Decorating (Paperback)
This book does exactly what it says in the title. Helping you step by step through the basics of cake baking and decorating, it is a foolproof guide to creating your own party cakes.Baking a sponge, madeira, chocolate or fruit cake? The book gives you easy to read tables for all sizes and shapes of cake tins. There are also recipes and instructions for different types of icing. Everything is simply laid out and easy to follow. The choice of cake decoration ranges from children's cakes to fancier celebratory cakes and are great for beginners while giving ideas to more established decorators. Well worth the money.

Beginners Guide is just what I needed,
By
This review is from: Beginners Guide to Cake Decorating (Paperback)
I was looking for a simple book to tell me how to decorate a children's birthday cake, which icings to use and to give me some ideas. This book was just what I needed. The maderia cake recipe was beautiful and I combined some of the ideas to create a lovely teddy bear cake for my daughter's 3rd birthday. I'd recommend this book for anyone but especially for beginners.
