 OkayFeb 04, 2010
I found this book to be better than The art of Cake Decorating by Colette. This book is slightly more modern than the other. But still not exactly what i was after. There are some odd designs such as a large cake of a crab & mosaic jug (zodiac), a beehive, fragile boxes, a weird looking balloon. And again the instructions are drawn rather than photographed.
It's not badFeb 01, 2010
Compared to her other books, I have to admit I was slightly disappointed in this one. But, that is probably because I have a REALLY HIGH expectation of Colette Peters.
But with that said, it has some great project cakes :)
Not what I expectedSep 03, 2009
This book is interesting. However, the cakes are extremely time consuming and I mean extremely! Unless you are actually getting paid for the time invested, these cakes would be expensive to say the least. I love Collette's work, but I see this book more as a coffee table book than one I will refer to in a pinch for ideas. She is definately an artist.

 Big DissapointmentFeb 18, 2009
I couldnt wait to get this book because I love Colettes work. What a disappointment. Only has a few cakes as examples and the directions for recreation are sorely lacking. Bummer!
wonderfulApr 22, 2008
This is another great book by Colette Peters. She is extremely creative. If you have some good cake decorating experience under your belt, some of her cakes are very doable! Awesome photos! This book is very inspirational and chalk full of new projects to try! keep the great ideas coming, Colette!
