Customer Reviews

AN EXCELLENT EXPONENT IN THE ART OF SUGARCRAFT.
A wonderfully illustrated book showing the whole process of making sugarcraft flowers for Wedding and other celebration cakes. He breaks down the flowers and foliage into easy to follow stages. My only small critism is after arranging the sprays as per book I did have some problems with the mechanics of getting such large arrangements into the correct positions safely. I had the plaeasure of seeing the author demonstrate at the NEC Sugarcraft Exhibition 1998 and went straight home and ordered two of his books - a joy to read.

from the view of a professional cake decorator
When I began as a cake designer several years ago, alan's book was indespensable; I still find it so today. His step by step instructions are easy to follow,the pictures excellent..the flower colourings are most helpful. The outcome of following his instructions seems to me succssful every time.
