Rating: - Professionally homemade
This book is very easy to follow. It was possible to bake a lovely professional looking birthday cake for my little son's first birthday even though I'm no professional cook or cake maker.
Enjoyed every moment.

Rating: - The best!
Of all Lindy Smith's books (which I own) this is the one I prefer because it doen't need special equipments (like PC cutters) like her other books. Designs are simply astonishing and easy enough to make if you have some time in your hands.For most designs there is a cookie or a mini cake section and you will also learn tons of modelling techniques. Very higly recommended
