Book Reviews of Cakes to Dream On: A Master Class in Decorating
Book Review: If You Can't Stand the Heat.....
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is absolutely mind-blowing.
I was not familiar with Ms Peters' work previously and after seeing this book was inspired to take a look at her earlier books. It was interesting to see how she has developed since "Colette's Cakes" -- her imaginative designs, her sense of color, her sense of whimsy -- even her writing, has grown with her talent.
This is, however, 'A Master Class in Decorating' as the title indicates. Although I think an attentive beginner could readily follow her instructions, as with anything, innate talent and experience will play a large part in the end result.
I imagine there will be those who will look at this book and think it is far too elaborate for the average person capabilties.
Well, if one never aspires to greater heights, one will always be.......average.
This is a book for inspiration.
Bravo!
