Mich Turner's Cake School: The Ultimate Guide to Baking and Decorating the Perfect Cake

A get book to get the scientific basics of making a cake. If you want to be a proficient chef, THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU!!!!

I have truly enjoyed all the offerings that Ms. Turner has written in the past, having purchased all of her books. Having reviewed several of them, I feel rather confident in saying that for this would be a good book for a novice or newbie to cake decorating, but for those with I any cake decorating experience, this is not for you.Actually I am a bit disappointed in this book in that it has very little new information, to the point of seeming that the information offered here, is a very basic compilation of all her books. To be honest, I was under the impression that this would be a follow-up to her earlier writing entitled, "Cake Masterclass". But disappointingly, it was not.Switching direction for a moment, I have a teeny-tiny bone to pick with 2 of her other books: 2 books were offered entitled "Cake Masterclass" (The Ultimate Guide to Cake Decorating Perfection) and "The Art of the Cake" (The Ultimate Step-by-Step Guide to Baking and Decorating Perfection). They are the exact same book so why the difference in titles? American vs. British versions? Regardless, this was an excellent teaching book and I highly recommend it for very strong cake decorating instruction.Getting back to this newest book it has the typical basic cake recipes, frosting recipes, how to do basic icing, advanced icing, fillings.The projects are somewhat simple, almost too simple. Nothing is exciting because there is nothing really new in here, though it is an OK book. My suggestion would be to strongly suggest to anyone, in particular a novice, to consider one of the two aforementioned books by Mich because they are wonderful and very much a teaching model with so many mediums and so many creative ideas.Well, that's about it. This is short and sweet but hopefully to the point. If you do find the book a real teaching tome, then good for you. My review is merely my opinion. Peace.

I'm a little disappointed. I expected more. This book is definitely for the beginner cake artist. It can be used as a reference.

love Mich Turner bought every book of hers this edition after keeping it realised all measurements were American very disappointed
