Format:Hardcover
I saw a sample preview copy of this book while on a workshop last week-end and highly recommend it. I thought it had a really nice bright clean layout but most of all, lots of new fun modern novelty ideas for boys and girls, adults and children, and now I can't wait to get it when it comes out next week. It is full of great new designs in Debbie's own classic modelling style, clean, simple and yet very effective. As usual, the book is suitable and inspiring to beginners and more experienced cake makers and yet remains accessible to mums at home too, thanks to clear explanations and the minimal use of tools needed. If you liked Debbie's "enchanting" and "fairy tales", this is definitely another one to get.

Having just read this book I am in no doubt that the Author is no less than a genius in her style and creativity and can also string a sentence together which is not beyond anyone's comprehension. The photography is crisp and clear and extremely well put together. The creations are beyond doubt some of the best I've seen from Mrs. B....although every new book she produces becomes an immediate favourite. It would be very difficult to choose a favourite project from this particular book but if pushed I would have to say the Frog Prince who is also featured on the cover will take some beating. Exquisite in design, detail and presentation....Debbie Brown has excelled herself and will be top of the charts with this one for sure. Thank you Debbie for all your hard work.

I have been a cake decorator for the last fourteen years and in that time have come to admire the work of Debbie Brown.Her imagination,eye for colour combinations and level of skill make her stand out from the crowd.
Since purchasing the book I have replicated the submarine,the monster and the mini crowns cakes..adding my own personal twist.
If you are looking to be inspired or just starting out, then this book is for you.It is funny and greatly entertaining...even just to look at.My friends can`t stop peaking at it!!! Go on, have a go!
