Beautiful cakes without the intimidation. I am new to baking and this book has completely inspired me. It is packed with so much information, that even I feel confident enough to make one of the beautiful designs featured in this book. There are plenty of pictures to walk you through the process and to unlock your own creativity. Another great thing about this book are the matching cupcakes. Those will come in handy for times when I'm feeling creative but do not have time to make an entire cake. I'm looking forward to purchasing more of Smith's books.

Well done. This book is no different from any of Lindy Smith's other books. She has brilliant ideas and easy to follow instructions. A must for all cake decorators.

  Lindy is fab! Her books start with the real basics and take you through the whole process without missing anything including what to do if things go wrong! Her directions can be followed to the letter, or there are lots of ideas to make things easier or harder! Absolutely fabulous, if you only buy one book about decorating cakes buy one of hers!

Well worth it!! I received this book as a birthday gift from my husband. It was well worth the purchase price. This book has fantastic step by step instructions and photos that make what might seem like challenging projects more approachable for the novice cake decorator. I am a pastry student and have used ideas from this book to help me design projects for class. I feel that this book will add a great deal to my repertoire of decorating skills on future projects.

Beautiful Book, Great Ideas! From geometric to whimsical to out and out gorgeous, the cakes in the book are a great inspiration to decorators at all levels. The recipes are British, but the decorating ideas are universal and the work is beautifully precise and clean. The step-by-step instructions are really well photographed and easy to follow. I just with the book were longer! I want more!

Did You Know ….

• The average book only sells 1500 copies
• 95% of authors have to subsidise their earnings from other sources
• Today authors usually only receive royalties based on what their publishers actually receive, so when books are sold at a high discount to book clubs, online shops etc authors receive very very little.
