This is a wonderful set for any baker. Easy to use with beautiful color choices.

Wow now these are intense color. One tiny drop and it's very vibrant! I had to use a toothpick on some things since I was coloring a small amount and it would have been way too dark.

A bit pricey, but a little goes a long way. And the colors provided can be combined to make any color your little heart desires. Cool if you're into cake decorating.

This is so much better than food coloring. It only takes a very small amount to ad color to icing, cake batter, and cookie dough. Some colors (especially red and black)when you are trying to get the deep rich color may leave a little after taste. Try adding some alcohol based extracts (alcohol based extracts will not thin your icing like some artificial products will). When trying to get the true black color, try starting with chocolate icing then ad the black color. It requires less coloring thus less after taste. These are the only 2 colors that I had a problem with after taste. This product is great and I will continue to reorder this product.

These icing colors are the best for creating the most vibrant colors. There is a good variety of colors in this kit, giving you endless combination options. The only downfall is that the actual size of each color is small. That said, however, a little color goes a long way. It only takes a small amount to create bright colors, so I have plenty leftover for the next time. Recommended!

This product came quickly. It's inexpensive and sure to last a long time! Very pleased!

this worked out great for decorating my sons birthday cake! had a good variety of tips and the bag cleaned pretty well. good for the price.

As a beginning decorator, I've found this set to be sufficient. The bag is a little hard to clean, but that's to be expected I guess. It works.

The pastry bag is simple to fill and to clean. The nozzels are easy to attach and detach.Perfect set for my novice purposes.

I would've been better off buying the decorating comb or triangle for MUCH MUCH less (one or two dollars). The pieces of this product fall out and don't fit well in the holder. I was so disappointed. I had wanted this product for a long time. Now I wish I hadn't wasted my money.

Lots of fun and pretty easy to use. The choice of patterns is endless. Great project to do with the kids.

I use this a few times to create different pattern and absolutely love the end results. It makes my cake looks professional and beautiful with the finishing touch. I don't like icing on my cake. I use plenty of fresh cream, cream cheese frosting or buttercream and they all work great and taste great on the cake. With these tools, the pattern is limitless and so far I haven't use the same pattern twice. I even mix and match different color pieces and it still looks great, it doesn't really need to be in the same pattern all the way. It is really fun using this and make sure the piece is snap in place and you are good to go. I found it easier to put this set in a clear plastic box so you will not lose the pieces. Cake decorating is getting more fun now.

This a great way to make an ordinary cake extraordinary! It does take some getting use to, and you do have to use a little extra icing, but the end result is well worth it. Also clean up is easy- I just disassembled, and placed it in the dishwasher.

I recently started taking the Wilton cake-decorating classes at my local craft stores. My instructor said she had never used this product. I ordered it and tried it. It is the niftiest little gadget. Be sure to read the instructions. The icing needs to be at least ½ inch think where you use this and it takes a little practice to master using it, but the results are worth it. I have used it both on the sides of my cakes and on top as background texture. I got more complements using this then when I just iced and decorated the cakes. If you are into or getting into cake decorating, defiantly get this. You will not regret it!

THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY CAKE TOPPER WAS ELEGANT AND JUST THE RIGHT SIZE FOR MY CAKE. I WAS PLEASED WITH THE QUALITY OF THIS ITEM.

This glitter looks great on cookies, frosted or not! I love it! Thanks!

Glitter was pretty on my pastries but I was under the impression it would be flavorless and it actually had a yucky aftertaste.

Great, I got it quick and for the best price I have ever seen it sold at.

After reading many of the negative reviews on this book I can understand where they are coming from. Therefore, I do think this book is probably for advanced casual cake/cupcake makers. I have been making my own fun cakes and cupcakes for the past ten years. I have never done it professionally and I have typically made no more that 3 cakes per year. This year I had the opportunity to make many more but it wasn't a typical year for me. Anyway, for me this book was the book I have been waiting for for the past five years. I wanted a fun cupcake or cake book that took me to the 'next level'. The designs would be simple, used normal items (candy, etc) and didn't use marzipan or the Wilton style of decorating. I like the more organic, home-made style. I think Wilton cakes are beautiful, just not they way I enjoy decorating. So, this is my book. The directions are great. And the ideas so easy and creative. Some of the ideas are easier than others for sure. The person who commented about how soft the store bought frosting is. I found this too especially for the sunflowers. For other cupcakes I was able to use two bags of icing and switch them back & forth in the freezer so that while I was using one (and softening it with the warmth of my hands), the other was firming up in the freezer. I also did this with the crocodile cake. As I made each cupcake, I immediately put it in the fridge to harden since I made it in the fall when the heater was warming my kitchen. The ideas are great. Not for the very beginner, but certainly easy enough for the non-professional. Just be willing to put in a little practice. If you like baking and decorating, you will love this book.

I love this book I can't wait to try some of the creations. I am very excited about this item.

The pictures in this book are wonderful. The directions are very easy to follow. Two of my daughters-in-law have made the alligator and the sunflower cupcakes. They turned out very nice indeed. I was surprised to see how thick the book was and the paper is of good quality. I can't wait to see the new book she has coming out. I was very pleased with this book and highly recommend it.

I received this book for Christmas, along with everything I needed to create my own adorable, knock-your-socks-off cupcakes. The photos are certainly inspiring. I would recommend browsing through this book even if you have no desire to ever decorate a cupcake. As for my own cupcakes, well, they didn't look quite as nice as the ones in the book. How bad did they look? Judge for yourself - I posted my cupcakes on my blog: [...]

I initially read this book aloud to my family in a public cafe and it became an hour-long page turner and laughing 'ruckus' that should have gotten us thrown out. The photos and the commentary are universally funny - almost everyone would find this book humorous. The real-life cake disasters are hilarious in themselves, but the author is even funnier.

Very funny compilation of cake disasters. I have a niece who is a pastry chef and I got this for her birthday.

Cake Wrecks: When Professional Cakes Go Hilariously Wrong is a great book to read when you or someone you know just needs a good laugh. The authors provide spot on commentary on these "cake wrecks". You find yourself thinking "What were these people thinking?".

i am a cake decorator so i really enjoy the humor of this book. I dont have a computer and don't spend much time at cakewreks but I didn't see anything in this book that i had already read on the blog! new stuff, very entertaining!

Cakewrecks, Christmas and Amazon combined to help my shopping go easier, faster, and no-hassle. I was going to get this book anyway and send it to my sister for Christmas. But when I saw Amazon's shipping with a minimum purchase, I decided I could get two more, qualify for the free shipping, cross two more people off my list, and know the books would make a great present for anyone that loves Jen's wrecky goodness like I do.

Product was received in record time. I was very excited and very impressed. The game runs beautifully and works great. I love it!

It doesn't work on my computer like my other Cake Mania CD Roms. It freezes and sometimes shuts my computer down completely.

This disc comprises two episodes of a series by Elaine MacGregor. Episode 1 is "First Bake Your Cake" - and the hostess and guest do manage to demonstrate some cake baking techniques, not a complete guide - but it certainly covers some basics. The second episode "A Cake for all Reasons" was mostly Ms. MacGregor show various cakes that can be baked and decorated for different occasions. And by showing I mean - there you go - finished cake. Very little technique demonstrated. There are apparently other episodes for more demonstration or were supposed to be, Ms. MacGregor references them in the videos, but where they are is a mystery. If you want a video guide that demonstrates cake decorating technique - look elsewhere.

Tired up his eyes by abusive, psycho-neurotic, dominative, sadist girlfriend and stupid patrons at a bakery he works, Selwyn is desperate to change a life. And working for No Use for a Name music band is a handy option to execute. However, it was not the best decision because he soon started being used to ridiculing, humiliating and simple bulling by rock musicians to convince each other in their "show-industry stars-on-rise" social and intellectual superiority over a "cake boy". A lucky chap, left barefoot in the middle of the night somewhere on the middle of the road to the nearest inhabited place, he both made a couple of miles to an eatery, and was served, on spot employed,provided with poor but reliable accommodation. After a few more events, some of them satirically-mimicking supposedly- French attitudes and Hollywood-style life-death brink-actions, all problems were finalized happily. In the best traditions of American musical comedies, his boss invalid niece had him seduced and given hot time to extent of becoming an object of his desire, passion and love. She had even saved his life by hitting with wheelchair an ex-girlfriend of him to drop a pistol. Preferring more explicit viewing of the love-making by people born with disabilities might find Adreas Serrano photographs of definite relevant addition to this movie. So far, a set concludes both DVD and CD of fifteen musical tracks -and this is a very clever idea. I highly recommend this KUNG-FU FILMS production by Joe Escalante.

This is a very independent but poorly made movie... It lacks cast, crew and editing process. But its a nice attempt for a DIY punk rock film. If you like No Use For A Name and C}california punk rock bands, go for it!...

these were very cute in cupcakes and kids had tons of fun wearing them after. strong and durable too.

Used these on cupcakes for my 5 year old's birthday. Everyone LOVED the look. They were bigger than expected. Unfortunately, these rings are big and do not fit little fingers. They fit my fingers...so they are meant for adults to wear?

Study and fun on the cupcakes. These rings really got their attention at our 4 year old's superhero birthday party.
