Book Reviews of Beginner's Guide to Cake Decorating (Beginners Guide to)
Book Review: Good but not great
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a good decorating book but not great. If you're an American ordering, be aware it is published in Great Britain and includes terms, cakes recipes, metric measuring system that can be hard to understand. The cakes are beautiful to look at in the pictures they include but not too easy to make. Some of the ingredients are hard to find here is the USA and the glossary of terms is more for European cooks. I love to browse the book but find my "Betty Crocker Cake Decorating Book" is more realistic to use.
