delightful

This is perhaps one of my most favorite books on gumpaste. The flowers illustrated are difficult to find elsewhere. Alan Dunn is quite skillful in transfering what he sees to a decoration for a cake. Wonderful.

Very informative!

I am very pleased with this book. I am making gumpaste wildflowers for an upcoming wedding cake competition and this book is exactly what I needed. Very beautiful flowers and nicely written instructions.
