 Some Experience Required November 17, 2008
This is an absolutely gorgeous book. There are a variety of roses arranged creatively on elegant, simple cakes which serve as props for showcasing the flowers. The focus here are not the cakes, therefore it is assumed that you have already prepared your cake to your liking. The authors strive to teach the art of making a perfect rose. Being an absolute beginner at sugar paste, I can tell you I am not ready for this book yet since I lack the basic sugarcrafting knowledge. So if you are looking for a very basic, beginner's book, this is not it, but this is a book to "grow" into.
The only book you'll need to make sugar roses! July 26, 2008
I'm a great Alan Dunn and Tombi Peck fan, as their books never disappoint. Not only are they great demonstrators, their books (this one is no exception) provide superb step by step instructions with great illustrations. Whether I'm looking for inspiration on design, or how-to instructions, I turn to one of two authors - Alan Dunn is one of them. I like the way he structures his books logically. This one covers the subject of roses, and it's the logical place to look if you want to know how to construct just about any variety you can think of!
book February 13, 2008
Fantastic, well explained and easy even without reading can be seen even in the picture, then the flowers seem more real and true than really true
Sugar Roses book January 27, 2008
The step-by-step photos and instructions are clear and the roses are true to nature (which is not always the case with sugar flowers). It includes instructions for several nice filler flowers, flower parts and leaves. The finished cakes are elegantly decorated, well photographed and inspiring. The book is directed to more advanced sugar artists, and definitely raises the bar. I consider this book to be a valuable tool and have used it often in the short time I've had it.

This volume deals with just about every rose ever grown as well as other flowers to accompany them in arrangements and on cakes. I like the step-by-step color photos. There's a cake on page 70 that stopped me dead. I always look for the show stopper cakes and this is one of them. Templates are inclueded.
