Reviewer: Marina J. Thompson "redhad52" (Australia)
Storybook Cakes, step-by-step guide to creating enchanting novelty cakes. I received this book and was enchanted with the many cakes I can make. The instructions are very clear and well worth the price of the book. I was very happy with my choice. Thank you

Reviewer: M. Velasco "onceuponacake" (Georgia, USA)
Love it! I really love this book. Instructions easy to follow and the pictures are fabulous. I also love the matching cupcakes. Great book to start working with fondant!

Reviewer: Heleen Huyten-Erkens (the Netherlands)
IInspiring Beautiful book, with cute ideas for (mostly) kid oriented cakes. What I loved is that with every design there is a suggestion for matching cupcakes within the theme, and a suggestion for slight changes in the original design that give you a totally different look. Very nice and inspiring pictures. This one is definitely one every cake decorator interested in sculpted fondant cakes must have.

Reviewer: Mrs Wendy Moore (UK)
Good inspiration. The Noah's Ark cake is a challenge but one worth making. Lots of ideas and techniques shared. Clearly laid out, easy to follow, excellent photography. Will inspire you to create your own designs as many skills are covered.

Message from Lindy
“I hope that you enjoy my cake decorating books. I love being able to share my designs with you and demystifying the art of cake decorating. I pride myself on giving easy to understand instructions with lots of photos to make the cakes easy to achieve at home. If you do have any thoughts and suggestions I’d love to hear from you.

By buying my books direct from me, you help make it possible for me to dedicate more time to write further books and work on new designs.”

Thank you, Lindy
