 Awesome book!!!Jan 10, 2008
By Chel
I really love this book! I took a chance when I bought this book and it has never let me down. It has the easiest designs to follow especially if I am in need of any quick fondant motif ideas. I would highly recommend this book. I am a home baker and I think the instructions in this book are easy to understand. I hope the author comes up with another book like this.

Most informative and easy to useJan 29, 2009
By Missy Goldstein
For a project I decided to do after one to may episodes of Ace of Cakes, this book, of the 4 I purchased was the best. It gave easy recipes for cake and frosting. Plus very easy descriptions, plus pictures, in color! of how to make the recipes. It was also very good with directions on how to use fondant and of course 150 motifs. This is really the only book you need if your a beginner and want to try cake decorating as a hobby. Other highlights are the ring binder, stays open on counter, pages cleaned nicely too when I got confection sugar all over it! Its a nice size book to work with and read. Best Ive seen. Thanks amazon.

 Great for 2-D motifs, needs a lot more 3-DNov 25, 2008
By brooklyncakes
I like this book but wish that there were more 3-D motifs included. Most of the designs are flat or slightly rounded, which is fine for the side of a cake or laying down on the top, but there's not much that you can do that can stand on its own.

Parfait!Dec 22, 2008
By Amanda
This is absolutely what it claims to be and more. I bought it as a gift for a friend who decorates cakes, and she cannot believe how comprehensive it is in terms of not only covering fondant designs, but also providing cake recipes and icing advice. It's wonderful for anyone who delights in cake!

New to fondant workFeb 13, 2009
By Christina L. Cannon
"CrisC"
While I've been cake decorating for almost 2 decades I've
been reluctant to try new techniques. This book is great
for doing "piece work" figures with fondant and brings me
a step closer to my real desire to do modeling.
The book truly does provide step by step instructions which
are so clear I really Was up to this level years ago and never
knew it.
I highly recommend this book to others.
