Product Description
A feast for the eyes as well as the palate, this collection from media favorite Toba Garrett is available again.
"The mouth-watering photos are enough to send you running to the store for baking equipment and ingredients...[these are] gorgeous works of art. A wealth of photographs and illustrations ensures that even novices will have success with their cookie-making marathons."--New York Daily News
"Marvelous book...Superb photography shows the excellence of Ms. Garrett's work...A must for the cookie aficionado."--American Cake Decoration
Toba Garrett--master baker, critically lauded author, and recent guest on Emeril Live--has devised cookies so delectable and exquisitely decorated that home chefs will be searching for occasions to make more. The simple recipes range from gingerbread to shortbread, from sugar cookies to chocolate. But what really makes these extra special are Garrett's clever techniques for turning the cookies into works of art that delight the eye as much as they please the palate. There are ruffled bibs in soft pastel hues for a baby shower, a white chocolate rose with eight petals, and a 3D bride and groom for wedding and anniversary celebrations. Anyone can create these effects with confidence thanks to the author's clarity and creativity.

 Great! July 5, 2008
This is a great book by a superior artist, I had the pleasure to meet Ms. Garrett while a stagiere at the Institute of Culinary Education. Her work is simply amazing and she is also a very humble and pleasant individual. I learnt so much from this book with its great pictures and wonderful recipes. It is indeed a must have for the pastry enthusiast.
 Not what I expected April 29, 2008
This cookie book is not for the beginner, too complicated and not easy to follow; more like a story book. With only a few recipes and intricate designs -- not something for everyday use.

Perfect companion for perfect cookies January 29, 2008
Toba Garrett has done it again but this time w/cookies. The instructions are clear and to the point. Easy to understand directions and some great ideas for decorating.
Not for me January 3, 2008
You can judge this book by its cover. The most inspiring ideas are pictured on the cover. I didn't find a lot of helpful tips in the book either. If you aren't planning on decorating a cookie in the exact same taste and detail level as those pictured, try another book. I also purchased Cookie Craft by Valerie Peterson and really enjoyed it. I would strongly recommend that book for a new decorator, more tips and less dependence on intricate piping work.
Fabulous Inspiration and Techniques December 30, 2007
After a lot of years off from baking I bought this book and got inspired, albeit a little late this year, to bake and deocrate some cookies for Christmas gifts this year. This book was one of the best I've seen. It has clear instructions, great recipes and really good illustrations and photos. Next time I decorate I'm going to try the glace icing recipe for a more translucent look.
I highly recommend buying this book.
