5.0 out of 5 stars A bible for sugarcraft !, 26 Jul 1999
By A Customer
I was given the first hardcover edition of this book in 1988 as a Christmas present and I have stayed loyal to it ever since. The basic cake recipes are highly reliable - the rich fruit cake one of my staples come Christmas. The sugarcraft techniques are taught in such a way that has provided a foundation for further exploration. It's a great introduction to sugarcraft for the novice and provides a clear structure and overview for those who have struggled aimlessly in the dark thus far. I also have Book 2 and it is equally highly recommended. Both of my books are now ready for replacement after much wear, tear and intense use!

By E. Ellick "emm" (kent) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
What can I say ...except this book is a must have for learning everything about making cakes through to how to decorate in various ways. It is very infromative with easy to follow instructions...a complete must for the beginner right through to the more experienced. It was so good that I bought book 2 also, another great book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Training
This book provided good training and groundwork for the craft of icing. The only gripe I have is the now rather old-fashioned designs.
