The Contemporary Buttercream Bible The Complete Practical Guide to Cake Decorating with Buttercream Icing Valeri Valeriano Christina Ong 9781446303986 Books Reviews

• I do not like the taste of fondant at all. Fondant seems to be all that anyone uses anymore. I used to decorate cakes when my kids were small. Then do to lack of time and an elbow injury I stopped. Recently I have been taking a go at it again. I have forgotten so much and am so out of practice I was looking for something fun to help get back into it. These ladies are so very talented and are true cake decorators. No rice crispies, no molded chocolate, no fondant All buttercream and cake. Beautiful and delicious. I have only tried a few things and their directions are very easy to follow. There a many little tricks of the trade. I am very impressed, and that is not easy to do. I would recommend this bible for all levels of cake decorators.
• I LOVE this book. Not only does it have beautiful techniques in it ,it's very inspiring to know that these ladies started from a tiny apartment to world renown cake decorators. I recommend this book to anyone who loves to decorate cakes. I'm just a hobby baker, I do cakes here and there for friends and I honestly can't wait to try out some of these techniques. I love buttercream and it's nice to see that there is so much more you can do with it than you think. I would have gladly paid $30 for this book
• Writing a review on my
  Phone, so I will he brief. I thought this book was a good guide for someone who doesn't know about buttercream at all. I'm just starting cake decorating, and I've been working mostly in fondant and gumpaste, but this gave a lot of good information for me to get started on buttercream.
• I have taken their Crafty class and i was mainly trying to have pics of their cakes, however i was pleaseantly surprised by the specific tips you learn! They give you tips about how to properly do your basic buttercream, i loved the chapter about frozen buttercream transfers i have used this technique before and was very happy to see it here, that cake is gorgeous, I have taken classes to do flowers with Miso Bakes these flowers are less defined than Miso's but I still would take notes on their techniques, they also talk about rice paper, so in general they cover multiple topics, I think this is a very good book for an advanced baker and even a very ambitious new baker. This book is gorgeous and very informative
• Packed with creative ideas and step-by-step techniques, this book has a touch of everything. Piping flowers, pallet knife, stenciling, textures - a bit of everything. And other ideas beyond just buttercream. Chock full of photos. All beautiful cakes from simple elegance to masterful complex creations. The authors are incredibly talented and their love of doing this shines through on every page.
• Five stars for good instructions, docked two stars due to several very unattractive designs (stick fruit loops cereal in your buttercream as an embellishment ...really?) and the fact that the book does not cover the author's stained glass buttercream cakes at all. Do a web search for Queen of Hearts Couture Cakes stained glass to see what you're missing.
• Get this book! I love looking at you tube videos for "know how" but this book helps to explain the basics first.
•  I was so excited to get this book. Arrived well and in very good condition. Box is tough enough to protect the paperback edition. (See my unboxing video)
  The cover was glossy, the inner Page's are printed ordinarily but still good, not tht thin not thick. Full page pictures and easy instructions are very inspiring.
  It is worth the buy.
