 Martha Stewart's Wedding Cakes...Awesome! September 15, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased this book because I was interested in learning how to make wedding cakes. My first, which wasn't even a wedding cake, it was my neice's 3rd birthday cake, came out so beautifully. I used the recipes for the Vanilla Bean Sponge Cake and the Chocolate Butter Cake...both were PHENOMENAL and I got rave reviews. I even had three people inquire about me making cakes for them!!! Although some of the recipes may seem a little tedious, I truly believe that it is the small things that you do that make these cakes wonderful. They take time (LOTS of time...mine took about 15 hours from start to finish!!!) and cutting corners does not get you the best results. I have already recommended this book to many people interesetd in learning to bake like myself! BUY IT!!! I know its expensive....but it will last you for a VERY long time!!!

My book was delivered in a timely manner. Condition of the book was excellent.
 Coffee Table Book September 6, 2008
Nice book, but more of a coffee table book than a how-to. It does have some great photos and good recipes.
One in a million August 12, 2008
I've been on the search for the perfect wedding cake recipe for over ten years. You can call it an obsession as I personally love the way wedding cake tastes and I'm not even married! I bought this book as soon as it was published and the recipes are incredible - as well as the photos. For anyone who bakes wedding cakes this is one recipe book worth the investment.

I have bought a lot of cake decorating books but if you are looking for a guide to decorating cakes I thouroughly recommend buying a collette peteres or peggy porschen. Even though this book has a lot of photo's it provides some information not much and honestly for the price I would prefer to buy a wedding cake magazine. This book was a dissapointment not very helpful or useful really.
