Book Reviews of Martha Stewart's Wedding Cakes
Book Review: Inspirational In So Many Ways
Summary: 5 Stars
As with anything Martha Stewart, this is a thorough how-to book. I purchased the book to get more cake decorating ideas, but the book goes far beyond that.
There are about 14 cake recipes and more than 15 recipes for frostings and fillings. The suggestions for frosting and filling flavors opened my mind. Pistachio buttercream?? I'm all over it.
For decorating ideas, I don't think this book has an equal. There are 111 gerogeous cakes for ideas. There are sections on piping, working with fresh flowers, gum paste, marzipan, chocolate
This is a strong reference book -- 255 pages of solid information. It is a worthy addition to anyone who bakes and decorates more porfessional cakes.
