Book Reviews of Sugar Roses for Cakes
Book Review: Different
Summary: 4 Stars
It was nice to see a book with more than just roses and by more than one artist. There are some neat ideas with good instructions. I have only been making sugar flowers for about 7 years and was glad to see a few new ideas.Book Review: Good book
Summary: 4 Stars
It has very delicate pictures and explanation.
But kinda hard to follow. I like the book and all those pictures.
Really beautiful.
Book Review: OUTSTANDING book of its kind
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is not only EXQUISITE to look at, but very detailed in its instruction. Since it is mainly roses, you get more varieties, which I find a tremendous bonus, since most cakes only display your basic white, red or pink rose. The book is separated into luxurious flower arrangements (that highlight a certain variety of rose) and the following pages tell you in detail how to create that rose, the other plants in the arrangement, and to assemble. All of the pages, including the ones of directions, are in lush full color photographs, and laid out as beautifully as the incomparable flower arrangements. Worth EVERY penny.Book Review: Some Experience Required
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an absolutely gorgeous book. There are a variety of roses arranged creatively on elegant, simple cakes which serve as props for showcasing the flowers. The focus here are not the cakes, therefore it is assumed that you have already prepared your cake to your liking. The authors strive to teach the art of making a perfect rose. Being an absolute beginner at sugar paste, I can tell you I am not ready for this book yet since I lack the basic sugarcrafting knowledge. So if you are looking for a very basic, beginner's book, this is not it, but this is a book to "grow" into.Book Review: Sugar Roses book
Summary: 5 Stars
The step-by-step photos and instructions are clear and the roses are true to nature (which is not always the case with sugar flowers). It includes instructions for several nice filler flowers, flower parts and leaves. The finished cakes are elegantly decorated, well photographed and inspiring. The book is directed to more advanced sugar artists, and definitely raises the bar. I consider this book to be a valuable tool and have used it often in the short time I've had it.
