You can see photos of each cake projects (12 novelty wedding cake designs plus assorted minicakes) included in this book in the author's website. Debbie is the best known novelty cake designer in the world, whose designs have inspired every professional cake maker to date and here, she is at her usual standard with a great selection of novelty designs. Even if I wouldn't personally have any of these cakes for my wedding, I still think this is a wonderful book, very original and full of ideas for weddings and other celebration cakes. Even if you do not use this as a wedding cake book, it provides great inspiration for toppers, and other fun novelty cakes. It has been put together thoughtfully so that each of the 12 projects completely differ in type and skills used. All projects are sugarpaste projects, and include a pastillage church cake, bride and groom models, carved hat and box cakes, mice models, cars, aircraft, stacked tiers, separate tiers, indian Buddha type figure, musical notes, doll cake, figurines, minicakes, etc. Instructions are clear and detailed, and include cake recipes and comprehensive equipment and ingredient lists as most books do. As still fairly new to the craft, I like Debbie's designs because they are achievable and stretch you just the right amount to teach you a lot each time you complete one of her cakes, whether you are a novice or not, and they are plain enough in a way so that you can adapt the design to your liking. There is also always a good variety of techniques used and those are always transferable to other novelty cakes (e.g. birthday cakes in particular). One important point is that she does use a minimum of equipment rather than dozens of cutters and all sorts of icings, so there is no frustration at missing the right stencil or cutter. She tends to use sugarpaste, CMC, a drop of royal icing here and there, and simple blossom cutters for flowers. I have done courses with Debbie last year(one from this book) and she is a very helpful teacher with much talent and no ego and this is reflected in her books. Highly recommended if you like modelling and cake carving in particular, novice and seasoned cake makers alike. 2 criticisms I will make is that first the book printing is such that the font and colour are bit difficult to read (a bit small and grey) and that it is missing some step by step pictures and as such can be a bit light on explanations (like most books... I find)

I have to say Debbie Brown is one of my favour sugarcraft artists so when I heard she was bringing out her first wedding cake book I pre-ordered mine and I have to say I was not dissappointed! Debbies is renouned for her novelty design cakes and having attended one of her workshops some 3 years ago, when she hinted she was publishing a wedding book this has been along time coming but worth the wait. Her designs are such fun and inspirational and if you are looking for something a little bit different for your wedding this book is definitely one to buy. Her instructions are so easy to follow and she always gives alternatives, that coupled with minature replicas of the main design this book is a must have. Her recipes are also easy to follow and always come out right! Go grab yourself a copy, you will definitely not be dissappointed!

I think is a fantastic book. The recipes for the different cake flavours, broken down into the different tin sizes is so very useful. Read more

Nice pictures but........
The cakes in this book look great and the different recipes sound delicious. However, I have had problems with some of the recipes, as I note other reviewers have too. Read more

another good one from Debbie......
Different to the other books I have, this one is aimed at a more "grown-up" cake maker. It feels so much more mature than her fun cake books. Read more

Disappointing
I was hoping for a good book that would cover all the basics. This is not it. I find it staggering that a wedding cake book would not feature a table telling you how many servings... Read more
