Customer Reviews

Simple, but Stunning Cakes!
This book is a must for anyone who is interested in making novelty cakes. The instructions are very well written and the pictures excellent. I have made most of the cakes in this book, most in between 2 and 4 hours(decorating time), they always look like the picture in the book - and believe me, I'm no expert. There's a cake for every age and occassion. A complete novice could easily get excellent results.

So simple yet stunning results
I made the castle cake on the front cover for my two year olds birthday party and it was a huge success. I have always bought cakes in the past for my girl's birthday party's, but am now a covert, a definate must for anyone wanting, but not daring to do it alone!!!

Brilliant Book
Lots of easy but interesting cakes. I have made and eaten 15 of the 30 cakes and found them to be very tasty. The recipes are fool proof and the pictures are wonderful.
