Sugarpaste Cake Decorating Techniques,
By
This review is from: The Complete Book of Cake Decorating With Sugarpaste (Paperback)
The Complete Book of Cake Decorating With Sugarpaste by Sylvia Coward is filled with 50 original cake designs and step-by-step instructions for completing the cakes. The techniques encompassed in this book include floodwork (color flow), sugarpaste (rolled fondant), buttercream piping techniques, and pattern transfers. The book includes an introduction that gives basic instruction in using decorating cones (parchment bags), decorating tubes (tips), glass stencils, ribbon work, and flowers (piped and sugarpaste). The final section of the book, and the most valuable for me, was a section of patterns. The author provided patterns for making sugarpaste flowers, floodwork collars, alphabet variations, and embroidery accents.

Sugarpaste??,
By "bi77" (Valby, DK Denmark) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete Book of Cake Decorating With Sugarpaste (Paperback)
When I bought this book, I thought I'd be getting a book which tells me more about using sugarpaste to decorate cakes, new techniques, designs, etc.... I was wrong. It doesn't even have the drapes in sugarpaste.As it turns out, it is basically a book with pictures of cakes, which have been decorated on a base of sugarpaste. Even the parts where there is some modelling done in sugarpaste, it doesn't seen very well described, or illustrated. Definitely something of a dissapointment. It spends as much time on piping icing as it does on sugarpaste. I also have 'The International School of Sugarcraft' for beginners, and that tells me all that I need to know, and is better illustrated. However, if you need pictures of cakes for ideas, this may be an okay book for you. DEFINITELY not a book for beginners!! It has directions like 'Shape the shoe from sugarpaste'!!! I mean, if I knew how to do that on command, then I won't be needing directions - I'd just be buying books with cakes in them, and making them myself. So much for step by step instructions....
