 Best cookie decorating book I've seen yet November 9, 2001
74 out of 74 found this review helpful
and I have purchased several. Even beginners can recreate Ms. Garrett's creations because of her detailed explanations and pictures. Outstanding recipes, especially for the glace' icing (much more preferable than royal icing, I think. Besides tasting great it also dries hard to the touch which is a plus when you need to stack the cookies). She gives very imaginative and classy ideas for baby showers, mothers day, heart designs, monograms...to name a few. She also gives suggestions for adding your own touches. I especially love her wedding cake cookies (which you can adapt for b'day or anniversary occasions) and her "get well" cookies (you can use any message to personalize it). She provides full size patterns from which to make templates but I hope she comes out with copper cookie cutters in these shapes.

This is a really helpful book for anybody wanting to learn to decorate beautiful cookies. I'm really enjoying the recipes in the back, in particular the Almond Paste Cookies. I've made them twice and with two toddlers in the house, they seem to disappear faster than I can decorate them. I highly recommend this book.

This book is a work of art. Mrs. Garrett was able to create a book that even a child can understand. At first, just from the cover, I thought I could never ever make even a single morsel. But after reading the book and the clever way she broke down the recipes, I, too, can make cookies.Thank you, Toba Garrett, for considering those of us who may need some hand-holding in the kitchen.

I purchased this book in order to get some better ideas on cookie and dessert decorating techniques. Boy, I was in for a surprise! The directions are easy, geared to beginners (like myself) and the results are fabulous. Like anything, it takes some practice, though! I plan on taking Ms. Garrett's classes at Peter Kump's Culinary School in New York City after reading this book! It is a definite plus for anyone who loves to bake cookies, and is always looking for an excuse to do so! And, as a bonus, the recipes in the bake are phenomenal!
Magical!! May 25, 2001

Toba Garrett's Creative Cookies book fills a niche in the Cookbook market. There are no other books out there that are as clear, inspirational and as easy to follow. You will make cookies that go beyond anything you've ever seen in the stores and they will taste amazing too!! This is a must have for anyone who loves this art form.
