Although the recipeis sound delicious they are all very 'American' what we in the UK would call a dessert. Very creamy with cream/buttercream frostings. No traditional British royal iced or fondant iced cakes at all. Also BEWARE all the recipes are in American measurements with no conversions. Also peculiar amounts in some such as '3 cups & 2 tablespoons'of flour. Very fiddly to measure out. I weighed this & it was actually 800g! this would have been easier!
OK if you really want this style of cake & have lots of time to make them as lots of the recipes are very time consuming.

This is it! If you could choose only one book on wedding cakes, you would want one that covers the art from beginning to end---and this one does just that. I particularly like this book in comparison to the others because the emphasis is on taste, as well as looks. The cakes are not your typical piped & overpiped powdered sugar towers most of us have come to know as the typical wedding cake. Most of the cakes can be made by someone who has a pinch of ability and can follow directions. But you do not need decorating experience (I proved that last August when I made a friend's wedding cake). The recipes may not all be conventional (very few aren't), but there is something here for everyone. I admit, even I had a little trouble when my friend picked out the Buttermilk Spice Cake recipe from the book to mix with two tiers of a Kahlua fudge recipe--and DeDe's Kahlua buttercream for all three tiers--but my little test cakes turned out to be downright delicious. And the wedding cake was an absolute success! Even the caterers took pieces and raved about them! Wonderful book! Thanks DeDe!!

Not only are her cakes beautiful, her recipes are wonderful. Dede Wilson covers all the basics of how to create quality wedding cakes and provides the technical knowledge to create a wedding cake from scratch. For anyone interested in cakes, cake decorating or specifically, wedding cakes, this book is essential. It's also a great addition to a cookbook collection as its production values are top quality.

Old fashioned and dull
I ordered this along side one by Mitch Turner, and as far as I am concerned there is no comparison. I was looking for actual cake decorating tips and ideas as opposed to just the... Read more

Not UK style
Nice cakes, but bare in mind that the recipes are American. They do their cakes different to the U.K. ones.
