The Perfect Wedding Cake (ISBN 1584790849)

The Perfect Wedding Cake:
As an experienced cake decorator looking for new ideas, I was not impressed with this book. The examples were a bit staid. I would not even recommend it for new bakers since there are no explicit guidelines for making the decorations, constructing the cakes, etc. I would recommend The Well Decorated Cake by Toba Garrett. The instructions are simple and easy to follow even for the novice. And the recipes are wonderful. I have tested almost every one and had great results the first time.

high price for mediocore coffee table book:
If you are looking for ideas on cake decorating, this is not the book for you. It has some nice cake pictures but basically just information that in my opinion is common sense for most people. It is a chatty book that is being sold as a cookbook and guide to aid in knowlegably selecting the wedding cake of your dreams. It does not live up to its promises. What I am wondering is if she sold space for adveritizing as this seems to be the main purpose for this book. If you want names of bakers, florists etc in your area (if you live in or near a metropolitan area) that this author has worked with, this might be a good resource for you. This book does not live up to the synopsis or the lovely cover. Planning a wedding and need a wedding cake or just looking for decorating ideas and info the new Martha Stewart book on wedding cakes is lovely and worth checking out.
