Wilton Decorating Cakes Book (The Wilton school)

This book helped quite a bit in my cake decorating class- to the point where I probably could have learned all I needed from the book and skipped paying the $500 for the class. I even got a job as a cake decorator, so this book has definitely improved my skill to the point where I can make money off of what was once a hobby.This book is good to show you basic skills- there are flowers, basic borders, and basic fondant instructions. It's good for starting out, and getting a feel for cake decorating before trying more advanced cakes such as tiered or completely fondant cakes.Note: You'll need THICK frosting for the flowers in this book. Follow the Wilton recipe, and you should be fine.There are also some very good ideas for cakes in this book. Not only the cake on the front cover, I showed an idea to a woman getting married from inside the book and she wanted it for her wedding (yes, that good.)I would highly recommend getting this book if you want a good overall idea of how to start decorating cakes. But remember- always make sure your cakes are level, and ALWAYS get a good smoother comb. The book may say to use a spatula, but... it's so much easier to use a smoother.

Really helpful book - planning to make a wedding cake, so this really cake in handy to review different styles and plan what we wanted! Will keep as a nice reference book, too!

Anything Wilton is needed when cake decorating. This book comes in handy. Has all the recipes for icings.

The book just came today and was damaged. Amazon is replacing the book which has been hassle free so far.Looking through the book it seems to be very informative and easy to use. My granddaughter and I are looking forward to learning to how to decorate using this book. Becky & Rainey

I loved it. The designs are simple and easy to recreate. My 9 year-old granddaughter used it as a guide to design her birthday cake. Awesome!

So many nice ideas .If your experience decorator . Even a beginner will benefit from purchasing this book .

I enjoyed all the clear and concise step by step directions, however I would love more applications, especially in the area of piping decorations. that being said, this is the best book I have on the subject of piping decorations on cakes and things. I recommend it to everyone I know who wants to learn the art.

I really like this product--I have taken the first three Wilton Methods Courses and the instructor had this book and recommended it. I got it. It is a great book to use as a reference and build upon your existing skill set. It gives you clear, detailed and easy to follow instructions.

Des belles photos et explications. En anglais mais faisable. Je pense sérieusement d'acheter un autre pour ma cousine qui est douée à la pâtisserie.

Anche se in lingua inglese si capisce benissimo è chiaro e molto tecnico per chi vuole avvicinarsi alla decorazione è un libro molto valido.

A good handbook to keep in my bakery collection

Ich habe das Buch für meine Tochter gekauft, sie ist 14 und bakt sehr gerne.Das Buch ist mit seinen Schritt-für Schritt erklärungen sehr gut,aber manche Dinge sind nicht einfach,wobei hier "Übung macht den Meister"!Man sollte der englischen Sprache mächtig sein, da es ja in englischer Sprache geschrieben ist.Größtes Problem ist eher, die ganzenMaterialien zu beschaffen, wie Icing, Fondat usw., aber das hat mit dem Buch nichts zu tun.Somit können wir diese Buch gut weiter empfehlen!

I love collecting wilton books and this one is a treasure at the price and quality .. as described , as new , superb
