The Art of Modern Cake: Cake Decorating Techniques for the Contemporary Baker (Cake Recipes, Wedding Cake Ideas)

The book is gorgeous, all of the photos are beautiful! The directions are clearly explained with lists of equipment needed and photos of every step so you're not going into your project blind. I wasn't expecting all of the extra info in the front of the book. She lists her trusted recipes and many tips. I'm a beginner when it comes to fondant and gum paste and this book is not intimidating at all. I highly recommend this to everyone from beginners like me to professionals wanting to up their skills.

Could there be a more beautifully cake decorating technique book made! This book is so inspiring! I've already tried several techniques and I am so in awe! I recommend this book to any aspiring cake decorators or to inspire someone who is wanting to learn. It's not intimidating at all and gives you full instructions on making a cake from beginning to end! Lovely!

Way more informative than just beautiful cake pictures- im not a professional so will no go into details but visually very satisfying even when compared to a higher priced books. Highly recommended

Simple, easy to follow instructions, informative.

Awesome in-depth book for those looking to learn intricate sugar flowers.

I purchased it for a gift. It looked well written, and the pictures were lovely.

Just what I was looking for wraps and fondant/ chocolate dough flowers as well as the pallet. Gave me great instruction.

Not a well rounded book, it does not describe it's main focus is Gum Paste in advertising. It has no butter cream flowers.

No me gustó es muy sencillo. al precio que tiene es muy caro. y no está bueno está muy feo solo la portada es buena. que desagradable

A beautifully laid out book with excellent instructions and photos. Totally suited to the intermediate and experienced cake decorator looking to expand their repertoire with new skills, techniques, and creatively different ideas. Learning where Heidi sourced her various tools from was an added bonus. As an experienced cake decorator and competition judge myself, I would place Heidi's techniques and advice for structural intregrity at 'teaching world's best practices' level.

I thought I had bought a book to learn how to decorate cakes from the basics. This book is definitely for the more experienced baker, filled with really difficult challenges. 5 stars though as it is such a good book.

This is a great book. It has many gumpaste flower/leaves/filler stuff tutorials, that are easy to follow and well illustrated. It also has many great cake decorating tutorials that are illustrated well. Overall a great book! I'm happy with this purchase.

Good book with tips and tricks. Easy to read.
