I think the product description should make much clearer that this is a rehash of her previous books and doesn't contain any new material at all.
If you're completely new to Peggy Porschen's work then this would be a great book, the cake and cookie designs are lovely, the projects clearly explained and the photography is excellent. However, if you're already familiar with Peggy's cakes or you've read any of her previous books then you'd be wasting your money on this. It's a straight forward cut and paste job with selected projects from previous books compiled to make a new one. Bit lazy I feel.....

It is very disappointing when popular cookery authors publish a book which is re hash of previous material. Whilst the cakes are lovely there is nothing new. The write up does not make this obvious so I would not recommend any Peggy Porschen fan to buy this as you already have it!

Very disappointed and agree with the other reviewer. Its is same as her other books and I think that is very misleading - nothing new or challenging. I was so looking forward to trying some new ideas from Peggy. Don't waste your money if you already own her other books.
