Look closely at the finishes on some of these cakes, you would think for a photograph in a book the decorator would make sure the finish was their best effort wouldn't you? Wires stuck directly into cake, I didn't think that was approved of in the cake world.
I had this book in my shopping basket but fortunately saw a copy a friend had bought and quickly removed it! Don't waste your money when there are many more quality decorating books out there!

I ordered both "Glamour cakes" and this book, but had to wait for this one to be delivered as it wasn't released yet. I was quite pleased with Glamour cakes, but when this one arrived today it turned out to be the exact same book, just with a different title and cover design. So don't be fooled, only buy one or the other, not both! In itself, not a bad book tough.

Great imagery!
Really easy to follow, clear instructions with photos of 'how to'
Good tips, good recipes,
Another great thing, the book didn't stick to one size cake for the ingredients and if you didn't have a particular ingredient, there are suggestions for alternatives.
Really good book, worth a buy!
