Book Reviews of The Confetti Cakes Cookbook: Spectacular Cookies, Cakes, and Cupcakes from New York City's Famed Bakery
Book Review: Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the most wonderful book for any new, and experienced, cake decorator. You get basic recipes (which I have tried them all, and can say they are amazing! I do have a better chocolate cake recipe, but it was a very good one) and the details are thorough enough so you feel she is there helping you. As for one reviewer who said they would have liked to see more cakes than cookies, etc.: if you are that experienced that you wanted to see more cakes, then you shouldn't have bought this book. I'm pretty sure this was written for beginners, and it does say on the cover cupcakes, cookies and minicakes, not just cakes. I haven't yet attempted to actually cover a cake with the fondant, but I've just messed around sculpting it. I'll be brave enough one day... Definitely worth your money!

Summary of The Confetti Cakes Cookbook: Spectacular Cookies, Cakes, and Cupcakes from New York City's Famed Bakery
When a world-famous shoe designer walked into his surprise birthday party and saw the cake that was waiting for him--a Manolo stiletto perched alluringly next to a tissue-filled shoebox--it was his turn to ogle someone else's talent. The cake, created by Elisa Strauss of Confetti Cakes in New York City, was a sensation. Not only did everyone at the party want to know how it was made, they wanted to know how to create something as dazzling themselves.This unique book contains projects for every skill level: from gorgeous, sugar-dusted heart cookies to delightful billiard-ball cupcakes, to sculpted cakes in the shape of wine bottles and Chinese takeout boxes, to the extravagantly beautiful, threetiered
embroidery cake showcased on Sex and the City. With delicious recipes, stunning creations for every occasion, suggestions for time-saving shortcuts, and hot tips for fabulous results, all illustrated with gorgeous photographs and easy-to follow diagrams, THE CONFETTI CAKES COOKBOOK is a must-have for the outrageously chic baker in all of us.
