Summary: Great for inspiration
Comment: I bought this book a year or two ago and have referred to it often. I had never used fondant to cover cookies and, while it gives a beautiful finish, I much prefer a glaze icing with royal for details.

This book is probably best suited for those who have experience with decorating but need a little inspiration. It is long on beautiful photos and ideas but short on good explaination and step by steps. That said, it is one of my favorites. For more detailed instructions, Toba Garret's cookie book is a good bet.

Summary: I'm doing it now becuz of this book
Comment: This book was so wonderful that I immediately started making these cookies with fondant....and being a success!! I may go into business as people are just ga-ga about how they looked. Especially the 3-D frilly tulip cookie, they just can't get over how beautiful they are. I also made surprise cookies using the engagement ring hand for an engagement party and they were such a hit they stopped the whole party so everyone could marvel over them. One lady refused to eat hers. Even a month after the party she said she still has it sitting on her dresser she loves it so. Thanks Flour Pot.

Summary: How Do You Plan to Use This Book?
Comment: I purchased the book today and I've decided to return it. Kudos to the authors for figuring out how to use fondant for cookies. However, if I tell you to buy fondant, roll it, cut it with the same cookie cutter, adhere it to the cookie with corn syrup and decorate with royal icing -- you don't need to buy the book.

The photography is beautiful, but the book didn't inspire me as other decorating books have. If you are a fondant novice, this may not be the book for you as it lacks detailed instructions. I would also recommend practicing with royal icing before you begin your cookie project. Some designs use royal icing flowers, but there are no instructions about how to make them. These can be purchased at a cake decorating store or you can use other resources to learn to pipe them.

I was looking forward to this book, but it has turned out to be a disappointment.

Summary: Great book!!
Comment: I am new with fondant icing on cookies but found it really easy to decorate the cookies with fondant instead of the usual royal icing but not so keen on the ribbons decoration. Their sugar cookie recipe is also very delicious and quite soft in texture.
I recomment this book for a beginner.

Summary: Professional Results Fast
Comment: What I love about this book: The cookies are covered in fondant. This method allows me to decorate in half the time. Cookies decorated the traditional way, with a sugar glaze, are often too sweet ar simply don't taste good. NOt to mention time consuming to decorate. If you have a favorite, great tasting fondant recipe this technique will give you cookies that taste as good as they look. I would not use commercial fondant on these cookies as this type of fondant usually don't taste good.

Some things I don't like: inedible decorations like fabric bows, no templates.

Overall I still am very pleased with this book. I use it as an inspiration for my own cookie designs. The pleasure alone that I get from browsing it makes it money well spent
