Summary: A little ostentatious
Review: The cakes in this book are absolutely beautiful, but a bit more decorative than most people will want. Further, they were personalized for the weddings for which they were made. I do recommend this book as a great starting place; it is inspiring, and it includes a lot of good tips and techniques. And for the couple who wants a really over the top cake, this just might be your book.

Summary: Beautiful.....but unrealistic
Review: The cakes in this book are beautiful, but are meant to be created by professionals. There are too many non-edible items that need to be removed from the cake before serving. Impractical.

Summary: Not my style
Review: This book did not appeal to me because most of the cakes were a little over-the-top for me. I really loved all of her other books and thought this one would appeal to me in the same way. There are several great cakes in this book but I was overall, unimpressed.

Summary: Beautiful cakes!
Review: This book has the most beautiful cakes I've ever seen. We used it for our wedding cake. Unlike other reviewers, I don't think these designs are too difficult for most good bakeries. We just brought them the picture and description and they did a fabulous job. On the other hand, I don't know if these designs are realistic for doing at home since they are pretty complicated and require a lot of experience. The directions are pretty thorough, though, so it might be worth a shot!

Summary: Collector's Buy
Review: This is not a great book, but it is still very good. Only about a third of the cakes featured were excellent-the rest were mediocre for my taste. As another reviewer stated, the directions are generous and well-written for the most part.This is a good purchase for the person who collects cake books but if you are in need of a good all-purpose cake decorating book-this would not be it.
