Beautiful Book

So many beautiful cakes! I made a friends wedding cake based on one of the cakes in this book and it came out so pretty! There were many helpful tips but basically I used this book for inspiration.

Cakes! Glorious Cakes!

As I looked for a book that would assist my dearest friend, plan the perfect wedding for her daughter?I was fortunate enough to come across a copy of ??The Perfect Wedding Cake??. This beautifully photographed collection of wedding cakes not only provided us with practical information (such as how to choose a baker, in addition to a resource guide to the best cake designers in the US), it made a glorious coffee table book as well. Moreover, the recipes inspired my single friends to create some of the cakes for occasions that call for a touch of ??decadence??! Why wait for a wedding to make one of these gorgeous cakes?

Makes me want to get married all over again!

The most beautiful cakes I have ever seen! I loved this book. It makes me want to get married all over again. Thank goodness I have daughters. Boy, are we going to have fun. I plan to give The Perfect Wedding Cake book to, two recently engaged women I know.The photogaphy by Zeva Oelbaum is exceptional. Buy the book just to have copies of the "seside"cake and the cake made for a fall wedding. Ms. Manchester not only gives readers interesting historical information, but also provides recipes and a resource guide to cake designers all over the USA. Congratulations Ms. Manchester, on finally giving the bride and groom a beautiful and practical guide on how to create "a show stopping centerpiece" for one of the most important days of their new life together.

Both beautiful and useful

This very beautiful little book also turned out to be extremely useful to this father planning a wedding with his daughter. The book is chock full of fun facts as well as sound advice about chosing a cake and cake maker to suit you. The book's great photographs of fabulous cakes gave my daughter lots of fun ideas. And the list of cake makers is a valuable resource. My daughter and I spent some intimate and fun time together with this book and my daughter felt she got her perfect cake in the process. This book would be a welcome gift for any woman or family approaching a wedding.

A MUST HAVE FOR EVERY BRIDE

This enchanting book is packed with all the information a bride needs about selecting, serving, and preserving a wedding cake. Yummy photos of great cakes. A couple of recipes for the intrepid. Tips about choosing a baker. Wedding cake etiquette (you wouldn't want to smash one of these cakes in the groom's face). A great resource guide that covers the entire U.S. and locations overseas. All this and the history of wedding cakes, too.
