Wilton Decorating Cakes Book (The Wilton school) Paperback – January 1, 1999

Love the book shows you everything you need to know it will be used alot. Also love they had it sealed in plastic wrap when it came cause it was left in mailbox and box ended up soaked. Luckily plastic saved the book!

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!

Cake decorating book. For further learning. Was little disappointed to have it shipped with a 50 cent masking tape sticker when I paid $20 shipping included. Otherwise, I like the 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.

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

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