Book Reviews of Martha Stewart's Wedding Cakes
Book Review: Very pretty - more info needed!
Summary: 3 Stars
I love looking at this book. It is a great coffee table addition but as an instructive guide, it is too 'light' on information to be effective. Good for the collector, but don't expect to get too much except for ideas.
Summary of Martha Stewart's Wedding Cakes
Of all the decisions that go into planning a wedding, choosing the cake may be the sweetest. Much more than dessert, this beloved wedding symbol should be as special as the bride and groom themselves. Whether you imagine a majestic cake blooming with fresh flowers, a pristine fondant-covered masterpiece, or a homespun take on strawberry shortcake- or even if you don't know where to begin- Martha Stewart's Wedding Cakes will provide you with more than 100 delicious and inspiring ideas for timeless and beautiful confections that are perfect for every style of wedding.Not just visually inspiring, these pages are filled with information you won't find anywhere else.

Novice and experienced bakers alike will find recipes and insiders' techniques to create truly memorable wedding cakes.
You will learn:
Where to begin- how to decide what style and flavors are right for you, taking into account the season, location, and theme of the event
