brilliant
This is the second book of the series, and as ever is fantastic. The book is slighty more advanced than the first is is packed full of very useful and help step by step tips. There are sections all about chocolate, embroidery, making flowers, recipes, runouts, figure piping, bas relief, marzipan....I could go on because the techniques are endless. A must have for a cake maker or someone who just wants to try different methods and styles.

Helpful for the Cakemaker
"Sugarcraft" is a book which will inspire you to try out new ideas in your cake-making. I especially enjoyed the section on making marzipan figures and chocolate objects, including eggs.

Recommended for anyone with an interest in doing something different with sugar!

Excellent instruction for all levels.
Book 2 is an excellent follow on for the intermmediate decorator but is also of some use to the beginner. The instructions are clear and easily followed and the section on modelling is great enabling first time modellers to produce good work.
