Elegant Lace Cakes: Over 25 contemporary and delicate cake decorating designs

I am a fan of Zoe Clarke and I do have several of her books, but I am a little disappointed with this one. On the cover it says there are over 25 projects, but in reality there are only 14 different designs/themes with each one having a variation (ie a matching cookie/cupcake). As this book is aimed at the more experienced cake decorator, I think the mini projects are somewhat surplus to requirement and I would rather see the techniques covered in greater depth and with more photographs. if you can master the technique, then it doesn't take much to work out how to apply it to a cupcake, for example.On a positive note, the cakes themselves are beautiful and inspiring, as always, but I would have liked to see a change in formula for this particular book, as I believe some of the techniques are a little more complicated.

A fresh idea in cake decoration. A truly pretty little book using old and new skills in a bright and fresh way! Clear concise information with a list or required tools for producing true works of sugar art! The book arrived in the given time without a mark on it! Well packaged and a delight to receive

Love this book although the expensive moulds mentioned in the 'materials' list are generally used only as veiners and to provide texture, which can be obtained using much cheaper veining tools. Omit these moulds and the lace effects can be achieved by using the very cheap plastic flower cutters mentioned.

Even if you are not copying exactly these cakes it is a pleasure to look at them and choose which to do or which aspects to use. Useful help given.

very pleased with quality of product
