5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, 28 Aug 2008
By Mrs. E. C. Finch "Cake Mad" (U.K) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a beautiful book packed with both clear and concise instructions for creating both familiar and unusual blooms in sugar. The familiar rose, iris, magnolia and orchid all appear in fantastic detail alonside a range of succulents and wonderful plants with names such as akebia, rothmania and tweedia to name only a few! Trust me they might not be instantly recognisable but their colour shape and form make welcome additions to accompany our well loved favourites. Alan Dunn fans will certainly not be disappointed. There is plenty of new material to enjoy and marvel at. Sections on creating wonderful arrangements are a welcome addition to give ideas for displaying all the flowers and foliage. There are of course some wonderful cakes too.

Beginners do not be put off, there are simple flowers to get you started.
Alan's instructions, hints and tips are clear and concise. He is realistic too, on producing the much used rose he states "they often prove to be difficult for both the novice and experienced flower maker to produce consistently." I couldn't agree more and would advise that if you are in the early years of starting out on making sugar flowers never give up or be put off by first attempts. It takes time and patience. It helps if you have a passion because you strive to produce better results each time. Do look at Alan's other books they are the best at giving an all round approach to making and displaying sugar flowers and foliage.

Alan fans, this book should not be missing from your collection.

I loved it just as much as all his other titles. He has taught me so much through his books and my cakes wouldn't be the same without him!

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible!, 7 Dec 2008
By Mrs. R. John (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've have only just got into flower making and have been told that Alan is the god of sugarcraft flowers so thought it would be a good idea to get one of his books. He didn't let me down! His flowers are more unusual than some other authors and he explains things well with stage by stage pictures and some great tips. My husband paid for me to go to one of his one day workshops which was amazing and great fun too. With the right equipment and patience you will easily produce some very realistic flowers. This book is great value for money. Thankyou Alan your an inspiration!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sugar flowers for cake decorating, 21 April 2009
By S. Cross "cakemaker" (Attleborough Norfolk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I love this book. It is well writen and, as always from Alan Dunn has good clear instructions for making sugar flowers and cakes. This book is for the novice or more advanced sugar crafter, so would make a lovely addition or a great gift I have all of his books as he is my hero but this one is my favorite (till the next one).
