One in a million 
2008-08-12
I've been on the search for the perfect wedding cake recipe for over ten years. You can call it an obsession as I personally love the way wedding cake tastes and I'm not even married! I bought this book as soon as it was published and the recipes are incredible - as well as the photos. For anyone who bakes wedding cakes this is one recipe book worth the investment.

I have bought a lot of cake decorating books but if you are looking for a guide to decorating cakes I thouroughly recommend buying a collette peteres or peggy porschen. Even though this book has a lot of photo's it provides some information not much and honestly for the price I would prefer to buy a wedding cake magazine. This book was a dissapointment not very helpful or useful really.
Great book!

I gave it four stars because the cakes were ones that were in the magazine at one time or another. I was hoping to see some new ones. Great quality book and beautiful pictures!

Everyone that dreams of designing beautiful cakes, should have this on their night stand. I don't know how many nights I have studied it pages before going to bed, what an absolute treasure this book is. It's like the Holy Grail of cake books. You won't regret it.

Great bible but be patient 2008-05-13
I really like this book but practice will make perfect. It tells you all the basic terminology and has recipes and ideas galore. With this book, most enthusiastic bakers could make tasty well put together cakes but some of the decorating tips are so grand, you won't be able to achieve them overnight if you're starting with only a basic skill level. I'd say this is a good book though for anyone serious about making cakes, the recipes alone make it worth the money and you can always mix and match the decorations to suit your skill level.

This is a great book for people doing cake decorating and planning a formal affair. It has been a great help in planning my daughters wedding cake.
Great creative guide 2008-02-18
As a caterer, I found this book to be a good guide for those who create cakes for special occasions. Many of the cakes in this book are ones that have previously been in "Martha Stewart's Weddings" magazine, and I have made several of them over the years, but it is nice to have the collection all in one source. For the inexperienced, some of the instructions may seem a bit vague, but that is the martha Stewart way, as mostly she assumes that everyone knows how to do the basics. If you've never done this type of baking/creating before, this book is not for you. I do recommend it for those who do this professionally or as an advanced hobby.
