Summary: Defiently something to dream on
Comment: Lots of great information, from how to prep a cake to the structural support need to keep a multi layered cake from falling in on its self. All this along with loads of ideas on how to decorate.

Summary: Not crazy about it....
Comment: Although a really fun book to look at & be inspired it does not give very much instructional information which is what I was seeking at the time.

But, as a photo book for inspiration it's tops - although I could have been just as inspired looking at images on the net.

Summary: Cakes to Dream On by Collette Peters
Comment: As always, Colette Peters doesn't let the many cake decorators down with this beautifully illustrated book. The color photographs and instructions are great. I don't know which one of her books that I like best because each of them is so unique and gorgeous. What a talent! Thanks Colette for another outstanding book.

Customer Rating:

Summary: cake decorator
Comment: Cakes extremely too difficult to recreate except for a professional. Very little detail given in the art of doing it. Great pictures and beautiful creations just not practical. Very little helpful know how explained. Does include pattern for the detail work which is helpful but you have to enlarge them and not all directions are included. When it says "Master" class, you better be a "Master Cake Decorator" cause other wise you just have a book to collect.
