The Good
This book is viewed as a favorite by many customers, especially beginners as it contains detailed and clear step-by-step instructions and information about how to use a variety of tools, molds etc.
Some sections of the book that were really appreciated were “Non-Sugarcarft Tools” which shows you how to use everyday household items as tools, the “Color Wheel” sections for help on tinting and coloring icing and the “Cake Carving” section which is a particularly tricky thing to master.
Loads of people say that it is a fantastic book for explaining how to use the tools that most people probably have at home.
The Not So Good
Although claiming to have something for everyone, most people felt that it was more useful for those not so experienced. People who are already skilled at cake decorating may not find that much to inspire or teach them.
