5.0 out of 5 stars Great Cakes to Impress Your Friends, 26 Jun 2008
By Mrs. E. J. Hall "Brewer" (Devon, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I love this book and have already made two of the cakes even though I am only a beginner. Eric Lanlard makes truely beautiful cakes but with step by step photographs he makes it so much easier and not too daunting. I loved the basic ingredients at the start of the book for a whole variety of different types and the cooking time. A true craftsman but he shares all of his secrets with you!

1.0 out of 5 stars Very dissapointing, 3 Feb 2009
By S. Fritchley - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was so disappointed when I saw the photos in this book. The standard of finish on the icing itself is very poor (look at icing covering the board opposit p.58 just for one example)and no better than I could produce myself. There are so many other lovely books out there by really skilled sugar crafters so don't waste your money on this one. I am returning mine.

3.0 out of 5 stars okish, 30 Oct 2008
By Irene Gabellone "Eneri" (Italy) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book while I was on holiday in London and I thought that is was interesting. It has various common recepies but also has some french ones like creme patisserie and also what it seems to be a good choccolate plastique recepie. A design (square white chocolate cake with cherries decorations) seemed copied from Marta Stewart'book or maybe she copied? I don't know. Some nice techniques are explained like how to build a separator to host flowers and how to copy a "Toile de Jouy" pattern on a cake. As I was in London I was curious about tasting his cakes so I went to his patisserie "the cake boy.", i tasted a couple of different cakes and unfortunately i must say that they were uneatable, tasted like the ready made stuff found in discount supermarket! That put me off actually trying the recepies from the book!
