Cake Decorating Product Reviews

Reviews

I used to decorate cakes quite a bit in high school. Let's just say I'm out of practice. This is a good review/beginner book. Highly recomended.

Found for a teenager who is interested in cake decorating. A little more basic than what was expected but a good source for how tos.

This "book" is more like a brochure.. or one of those checkout cookbooks. It does have some basic tips in it but I surely wouldn't pay more than $5 for it!!

My daughters 14th birthday was comming up and with the trend she was wanting cake decorating supplies. This is a great book for them to help them learn and work with. The bad part is, is that I also purchased the 50 peice Wilton Cake Set for her as well and well it also came with the book. So I did end up with an extra book, but at the price it wasI was not to concerned

This was included in a Wilton decorating kit I bought from Michaels priced at around $32.00. I was dissapointed that the book was so small. I am suspicious about the 5 star reviews... I bought the 53 piece Cake Decorating set which included this "book". First of all the book is 40 pages. I will give it credit that it DOES have decent instruction on trimming and icing a layer cake, as well as good instruction on using piping bags. Where it starts to fizzle is in the actual using of the tips and creating designs, flowers etc. ALSO it comes with disposable bags, and touts in the booklet that all students beginner to advanced use these disposable bags, but in the instructions it shows someone using a real professional bag. I note this because their technique for filling the bag with icing is MUCH MUCH more difficult in using the disposable bags (in fact, I have vowed to buy only real professional bags from now on)! There are literally 7 1/2 (TINY) pages of decorating instruction. Weak. very weak. There is a recipe for royal icing... but I wouldn't recommend you use it. I did... and it was not good. Anyway... the book is.. not a total waste of money, but I personally wouldn't be happy paying more than $4.00 total cost with shipping for it.
