Book Reviews of Glamour Cakes

Book Review: Lanlard Delights the Tastebuds and the Eyes!
Summary: 5 Stars

I must say I disagree with the last review about "imperfect" and "not creative" I find it to be not accurate on many levels.
On my last visit to London, I stopped by the shop of Eric Lanlard, and was thrilled to taste some of his fabulous delectable cakes! Not only is he one of the most talented in today's scene, he is a pleasure in an industry where so often the ego precedes the talent. With that being said, I was thrilled to see a book by such an amazing patissiere and now I too am able to create my own innovative "Lanlard Inspired" delights for my friends and family!! I found difficult techniques easy to follow here also!
I've even started doing some baking for caterers now, which has enhanced my income, during a difficult time in our economy! If he good enough for Madonna, he's good enough for me. Thank you for a book I don't want on the shelf. It's even "perfect" enough to keep out, so I bought 2! (One is for the coffee table)
Cheers Eric! Simply Gorgeous!!!

Summary of Glamour Cakes

Add glamour to any occasion with this stunning collection from the cake designer to the stars. Patissier Eric Lanlard, whose clientele includes Madonna, Elton John, Liz Hurley, and the Beckhams, presents 25 amazing cakes, all with top tips to help home bakers produce spectacular effects on the palate and the eye. Each of Lanlard's masterpieces comes illustrated with step-by-step photography of the cake's assembly and decoration, plus a full-page photo of the finished creation. These showstoppers range from a towering croquembouche to a glittering symphony of butterflies, a magnificent hand-painted Toile de Jouy wedding cake to a delicious 1920's-inspired American retro cake. Smaller, but equally delicious, treats include Marie Antoinette Macaroons. A comprehensive introductory section covers the basics, so anyone can make cakes that look beautiful and taste wonderful.
