Customer Reviews

Simply Great!

This book is great! I suddenly decided that I wanted to decorate cakes and after practicing with this book I am on my third cake and they look just like the ones in the pictures!! I really liked that it came with a DVD, that gave me a little extra confidence being able to know that I was doing it right!

The perfect gift

We were given a copy of "Creative Cakes Anyone Can Make" and were struck by the presentation - step-by-step guidance both in word form and on a DVD. Add to that Jill Foster's creativity and you have a package that brings simplicity and fun to cake decorating. We bought 5 copies ourselves to give as gifts to friends and relatives who still have families at home and reason to celebrate birthdays, holidays, showers and other occasions. Even if you don't see yourself decorating cakes, you can make points with others who will by giving a copy of the book to them as a gift. We have done that and the feedback has been very positive and the gratitude have been forthcoming.

WOW! Cakes I can REALLY Make! And a DVD too!

This is the first cake decorating book with a training DVD that gives people hope they can be a decorator. Every cake is possible with my busy life and limited budget. I don't have to go hunting for supplies, everything can be found locally. The author, Jill Foster gives more than sixty cake ideas for every holiday, celebration and theme party ideas. And the best part - NO fondant and gumpaste! HOORAY!

THE BEST!!

This book is perfect for non-cake decorator folks - if you have never even iced a cake - this book will have you making and decorating cakes like a pro. The directions are simple and so many cute and simple ideas - no elaborate gumpaste figures - I don't know about you - but just the sound of "gumpaste" makes me want to hurl. I know some of these big shot cake decorators use them - and I know it is a very difficult skill - but I have no need to mold a Navity scene out of gumpaste - but to decorate a cute cake for a party - YES! I have every cake/cookie decorating book - out there - hundreds - and I love them - and this book will be one of the most valued in my collection - because everything in there is doable!

BEST Cake Decorating Book I have seen!!!!

FINALLY!!! A cake decorating method and book that not only offers creative ideas for cakes BUT ALSO taught me a technique that I can easily understand and more importantly DO myself..over and over again. The DVD that came with the book was also VERY helpful because I could see how to do it but it also proved to me that it can be done quickly and easily. I really liked the fact that the author was generous and gave about 60 cake ideas...what a great selection. What I also liked about the book was that all of the cake decorating ideas used materials that I can get at my local Walmart...and probably any "like" store. My husband even used the ideas and techique to surprise me with a cake decorated by him. That has never happened. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book and it is a great gift item too for Friends, Mothers, kids, Busy professionals and even fathers..Creative Cakes Anyone Can Make
