Cake Decorating Product Reviews

***Buyer beware*** This book (and the others in the series) sells for under $5 in JoAnne's. Amazon is ripping you off at $10. Know why it's so cheap? It's only about 30 pages, and much of the book is advertising for their products. OK, it does have some good information and helpful photos, and you can learn how to do some tricky stuff with it, but don't assume the price is right at Amazon.

I have just completed Wilton's Course 1 through the local Michael's store and was preparing for Course 2. The kit includes oval cake pans, so I thought I would save money on the kit since I didn't expect to use those pans again. I was thrilled to find this via Amazon.com and expedited delivery would get it to me before the first day of class and still save money over buying in the store (even with their coupon!). When the package arrived I was like a kid on Christmas morning; couldn't wait to open it up. It was soft (whereas the kit in the store comes in a box). No problem, I thought. After all, it's used and I would just throw the box away. But when I opened it, I found I only received the BOOK - no course materials/tools! I've gone back to the listing and don't find any description of "what's included" (or not included) nor the word "book" in the listing indicating that's all it would be. It's certainly not worth returning, but I'm disappointed....and now I need to find those materials anyway at additional cost! On the positive side, the book is in pristine condition. I just wish the seller had been explicit in the listing.

This item arrived on time if not early. I have not had a chance to use this item but I would order from this seller again.

While browsing on Amazon.com, I found the Wilton method of cake decorating books. I ordered the Course II book and it inspired me to sign up for classes. I have found a new hobby. I love ordering on Amazon.com. It is so easy and the merchandise is in your possession before you have time to wonder where your order is.

This is a great book to follow through with all the lessons taught in course 1. Though I'm not interested in working with fondant, this book still has new techniques for me. I'm looking forward to learning enough to make beautiful cakes for special occasions.
