First Time Cake Decorating: The Absolute Beginner's Guide - Learn by Doing * Step-by-Step Basics + Projects (Volume 5)

Beginner cake decorator just received this book today and LOVE it. Beautiful book, lots of photos to reference, comprehensive and 128 pages of ideas. I’m excited to read and use it! Great purchase very satisfied.

A great book on decorating cakes. No matter if your a beginner or pro. Pages are colored and shows step by step directions. Can't go wrong with this book.

The book gives a lot of useful information about the equipment you will use and about baking cakes. There are a few recipes, mainly for icing and fillings. It does show step by step photos of creating decorations for cakes. My only complaint is that I was hoping the book would have some beginning projects. It even says on the front cover there are 8 projects. If all you are doing is practicing with icing, cutouts, or fondant...then yes, there is plenty of things to practice. However, while it has several pictures of completed cakes, the projects don't include step by step instructions of doing one of these decorated cakes. I wound up having to buy another book that gives cake decorating ideas to use in combination with this one.

nice book

My 11 year old granddaughter is very happy with the book. Lots of good ideas and instruction.

Beautiful. Would have liked which tips exactly to use. So many things over me. Excellent job of explaining and demonstrate. This author is right on the money. Thank u. J

Excellent book with lots of pictures to show you how to make a beautiful cake. I have been baking for years and have just decided to dress up my cakes and this was the right book to pick. I initially got it from the library with several other books on cake decorating but decided this was the one that gave the best instructions and had to own it. I had to pull out my book stand to keep it open while I work but that's my only complaint. Enjoy!

Not for beginners

This is a comprehensive guide to cake decorating and was one of the first books I purchased on the subject. It gives great detailed instructions couples with photos to help you along. I have since gone on to make a variety of cake toppers including the ones in the photo. It’s a great springboard to move on from. Definitely recommend for anyone interested in starting out.

Ce livre apprend beaucoup . Je ne comprends pas vraiment l'anglais mais les images l'explique clairement.

Great tips, easy to follow. I’ve never decorated a cake before, and was able to make flowers no problem following the instructions in this book!

Brilliant for first time cake decorating

This book was great, just what i was expecting. Lots od detail and accompanying pictures. Great value for money.
