"First, master the basic baking skills using wonderfully sloppy Nigella as your guide. If you can make fairy cakes with dolly mixtures on the top, you're well on your way."
"Next, get modern inspiration from these bright designs. The geometric patterns will help you become familiar with icing. This is when you can start to buy all the tools, colours and cutters."
"This book will show you the more old fashioned icing techniques in detail. The pages on flower making are the best around. For chocolate lovers, the gateaux designs will please."
"This book is one of the best in terms of providing pictures of the individual stages. The larger cakes are for the more experienced, but the matching fairy cakes are easy!"
