Cake Decorating Product Reviews

How they can charge $27 for this tiny paperback is beyond me. It should be priced at about $13-$16, I was appalled when it arrived. The content is OK, though nothing revolutionary. I just wanted to voice my complaint about the level of quality of the book for its price.

I got this book as a gift at my asking. I was hoping that it would help me figure out the final pieces of the cake business puzzle that I had been working on for the past few months. However, it seemed more geared towards the person who decided to start a cake business one day, without any prior experience, research, or knowledge how businesses work.

I was Impressed with this book. I am a cake decorator who is looking to start a home business. I felt as though this book gave me the pros and cons of doing so. This book also directs you to websites and resources in your state and area. It is any easy read the only con- is it has some typos here and there. I was really glad that I purchased this book it helped me to narrow down the name of my business and to figure out how to do contract write ups. Also, things to go over with your clients ahead of time. It also gives you recipes and tell you things you need to know and think about if you want to be more efficient with your time. I say go ahead and buy it it was worth the purchase .

I have read several books on business and I found this one very helpful. I wasn't sure how to make the business part work and now I have clear picture of it. The legal section was exactly what I was looking for. I am grateful for all of the time it has saved me from having to search for all of this information and I like having a resource on my bookshelf that I can refer back to. It is written in a no-nonsense way that makes it easy for me to set goals and get everything in place to open my business. There is a lot in the book I would have never thought of. The marketing section gave me all sort of things to do. Now I am excited to get my business going.

It's not so much that this is a BAD resource, it's just nothing new I didn't already have from searching online. I had hoped it would be a valuable resource for business plan samples, contracts, etc., but it only talks about the importance of having them. This book is also flooded with typos, which just became annoying to me. Save your money and do research online through cake forum sites instead, then, go buy a standard start-up business book guide. I'm going to try the "How to Start a Home-Based Personal Chef Business" based on reviews...

Although it is clear the author understands her bakery business, this book was difficult to get through. Typos, bad pictures, bad organization. Certainly not worth the money I spent. There are some clever tips and insight but for the most part, I got the impression that it was 'hurry up and throw this together' book. Very disappointing.

The book was easy to read and covered all of the bases. This book will give anyone a true picture of what it takes to start their own cake decorating business. The frosting recipes are a real bonus!
