 Rating:  - Martha Stewart's Wedding Cakes...Awesome!I purchased this book because I was interested in learning how to make wedding cakes. My first, which wasn't even a wedding cake, it was my neice's 3rd birthday cake, came out so beautifully. I used the recipes for the Vanilla Bean Sponge Cake and the Chocolate Butter Cake...both were PHENOMENAL and I got rave reviews. I even had three people inquire about me making cakes for them!!! Although some of the recipes may seem a little tedious, I truly believe that it is the small things that you do ...

Rating:  - Coffee Table BookNice book, but more of a coffee table book than a how-to. It does have some great photos and good recipes. Rating: - One in a millionI've been on the search for the perfect wedding cake recipe for over ten years. You can call it an obsession as I personally love the way wedding cake tastes and I'm not even married! I bought this book as soon as it was published and the recipes are incredible - as well as the photos. For anyone who bakes wedding cakes this is one recipe book worth the investment. Rating:  - martha stewart's wedding cakesI have bought a lot of cake decorating books but if you are looking for a guide to decorating cakes I thouroughly recommend buying a collette peteres or peggy porschen. Even though this book has a lot of photo's it provides some information not much and honestly for the price I would prefer to buy a wedding cake magazine. This book was a dissapointment not very helpful or useful really. |
