Book Reviews of The Flour Pot Cookie Book

Book Review: A useful book, with a couple of caveats
Summary: 4 Stars

I like that I now understand the basic method for decorating cookies using fondant. I do feel the book is at times slightly short on details, for beginners anyway. For some examples:

*Necessary tools are not always explained, such as what a border cutter is.
*There is no indication of how to attach the stick to a cookie on designs that require that.
*Complicated designs, such as squiggly pattern of accent fondant on top of a shoe cookie (displayed in a photo), sometimes do not include instructions for how to achieve that affect.

Also, a note about how fondant compares in taste and texture to cookies frosted with royal icing would be nice.

One final note: Although there are a few supplier web sites provided at the end of the book, I haven't been able to find all of the sugar flowers like the ones the authors used in the book, or where one could order many flowers of just one color. Since readers may want to try the designs in the book, it would be good if more specific info were given about where to locate the items needed.

But all in all, a good book.
