Summary: Great Primer
Comment: The recipes in the book were good, but the best part about the book were the simplest tips. Basic information on how to frost cakes was the most valuable, but also the step-by-step guide on how to make specific theme cakes for birthdays, weddings, showers and whatever else the author dreamed up.

Summary: good book
Comment: good book, not great. I actually did enjoy the recipes though. Some were a bit oily, but very soft and moist cakes. this would be a great book for beginers. I didn't learn a whole lot.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great for a beginner
Comment: I had never decorated a cake in my life, but my kids are getting to the age where we would need lots of birthday cakes. This book explains everything! I made my first cake last week and it came out great. The directions are simple and it is written in an easy to understand fashion. I think even if you know a thing or two, this book could help with tips and ideas you wouldn't have even thought of. A must-have for anyone who wants to decorate cakes!
Customer Rating:
Summary: I Expected More
Comment: This is the first "Dummies" book that I didn't find very helpful. Perhaps, it is the case of breadth versus depth. I wasn't interested in how to start a cake decorating business, but did want to learn how to decorate cakes.
Customer Rating:
Summary: very informative!
Comment: all the basic and essential any baker and cake decorator needs to know. Very happy with book.
