I decided to learn about cake decorating so I could make the cake for a family wedding. I was completely new to the process and didn't have anyone to give me advice on it so I was pretty green. I've bought a few books and looked up information online but this book is the one I've referred back to the most. It answered a lot of the questions I had about the actual beginning to end process of my cake. There's tons of helpful information that saved me from having to learn on my own or waste a lot of time and effort guessing. The 5 tier wedding cake, which was made in one state and setup in an another state, went off without a hitch with lots and lots of compliments! I Love this book!!!
