Book Reviews of Cakes to Inspire and Desire
Book Review: My cake maker loooooooved this !!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
The book was in excellent condition and arrived in a relatively decent amount of time. This was a gift to my friend who's an avid cake maker and she's already tried several techniques taught in the book. She found this book to be easy to understand and very detailed. This seems that a novice or very new cake maker could easily create the cakes in the book with it's easy to follow instructions. I would highly recommend this to anyone at any skill level.Book Review: Lots of ideas!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book with some wonderful decorating ideas. I love how she gives many different options to save time or do smaller versions of the same cake. The cakes are beautiful with lots of detail and step by step instructions. She does use "cake jewelry" though on almost all of her cakes which I probably would not do--it's just extra work that is not edible. Overall it's a great reference book for any cake decorator!Book Review: good
Summary: 4 Stars
If your interested in making jewelry for cakes then this book has good some good examples and ok instruction. It also has partial instructions on making gum paste calla lilies. Most of the techniques require cutters that the author sells but are very expensive. The book is from the UK and so some of tools and things she was saying I couldn't understand. Overall it gives you some good ideas and is very pretty to look at.Book Review: Beautiful cakes
Summary: 4 Stars
I truly enjoyed admiring all the cakes and all the work that goes into making them. Overall this book is for those how have had a lot of experience making cakes. I have been decorating cakes for years and I was intimidated by the amount of workmanship and labor is involved. I will be using portions of a few cakes to place on my own cakes. The majority of these cakes are just too time consuming.Book Review: Inspired!

This is my favorite cake book ever! I don't buy cake decorating books for recipes, so the fact that there are only two is a non-issue for me... I bought it for the PRETTY and there is plenty of that! All of the cakes are unique and gorgeous, and I have a lot of trouble putting this book down. Cakes to inspire, indeed!
