 Take it for what it is June 20, 2006

First of all, this is not a book for those of you who want to learn how to decorate cakes. This is a book for the bride who wants to learn about the right cake to ORDER. My cover matched the one shown so, maybe the book has a couple different covers, not a big deal. Anyway, I enjoyed the book but, if you are looking for a how-to on how to bake and decorate your own cake, this is not for you.
 Not very good at all November 4, 2005

I liked the cake on the cover (which happens to be the same cover listed on amazon.com) but the photos inside were horrible. They were very fuzzy and you couldn't see the detail of the cakes that well. The cakes were just okay, nothing fabulous to look at.
Worst book on cake decorating I've ever seen June 23, 2004

The pictures are sloppy and amateurish. The editorial is very inaccurate. The author/editor appears to have done little or no research and clearly does not know the first thing about cake decorating. There are so many great cake decorating books out there. Don't waste your money on this one.Note to the idiot from Ilford, England whose review suggests that this is a bad book because it only features American bakers instead of British bakers: there are plenty of books that only feature American style cake decorating which are GREAT. There are two different styles: british decorating covers everything with some sort of rolled icing and cement-tasting flowers. American usually uses soft, piped icings. Both styles can be incredibly complex in their own way and require great skill. This reason this book is bad is not because it is a typical example of american skill, as you sugggest. It's bad because it's NOT typical. The author wasn't really interested in showcasing the best examples.
Come on...is not so bad!!!!!!!!!! May 21, 2004

The cover of this book does not match the one above...but does that really matters?????!!!!!!!! Is a nice cover anyway. The pictures inside???....I dont see anything wrong in them!!!!!!!
Give this book a chance. The designs of the cakes could have been better but the bakers featured are not british..at the end of the day the book shows the kind of work american bakers do.
THIS??? Is the book I ordered??? February 20, 2004

I have been buying from Amazon for years, and this is the first review I have written... and NOT to rave about this purchase, but to convey my disappointment. I was expecting a more professional book... this is certainly not it... I also decorate cakes, and was confused as to how this one got the description it did.... and yes... WHY IS THE COVER OF THE BOOK NOT PROVIDED??? The picture here is located way in the back of the book, and is much smaller... I also thought I received the wrong book... I have to say, that the picture they did choose to advertise the book was the best of the bunch.... so just look at this picture and forget the book.
