Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
The mother-and-daughter owners of the Flour Pot, a popular Philadelphia cookie design company, make the art of cookie decoration accessible with a short introduction, brief tips and straightforward photographs of cookies as they should appear when complete. Some projects, such as the Sail Boat and the Party Hats, require freehand work, but for the most part, dexterity with a cookie cutter is the only key skill needed. The Stars and Balloons are especially simple and doable. The designs are more cute than sophisticated, the prose is spotty and the cookies become repetitive (the book features only one dough recipe, and all projects are covered in fondant—a thick, creamy white sugar paste), but this volume is friendly and nonintimidating even for kitchen novices. With cookies divided by occasion (wedding-related, baby-related, "At the Beach," "Seasonal Delights"), it's a handy resource for home bakers who might need to whip up something impressive and colorful without a great time investment.

Format:Hardcover
Good book with nice pictures. Not much written content. Pretty much just pictures of cookies with short instructions on how to do them. Although the instructions are all the same for each cookie. It may be better just going to the website and looking at the photos on that.
Format:Hardcover
Nice pictures, good ideas, very little written. It is more like an idea book to create what you see. You can get these and other ideas from the website.

Format:Hardcover
This is a great book for people looking for an interesting new way to decorate traditional sugar cookies. The ideas can be time consuming but produce excellent results. It is a must have for anyone interested in making seasonal or special occassion cookies.
