 A book that will get you motivated to decorate cookies! April 25, 2001
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
As a student of Toba Garrett in NYC, I knew before I bought this book that it would be wonderful, and it is!!! --the recipes are easy to make, and the decorating is simple enough for the novice and stunning enough to challenge those with skill.(If you have never decorated before, Toba explains step by step along with numerous color pictures to guide you) You'll make cookies that you never thought possible. Definitly a must have!

It is very difficult to find any information on Cookie Decorating. I couldnt wait to receive this book and i wasnt disappointed when i got to see it. The cover {which is beautiful}only hint's at the wonderful cookies inside.There are cookies for beginners up to cookies decorated with gumpaste flowers.It covers equipment needed and how to use them.It has a variety of icing and cookie recipes.Every cookie mentioned has a picture for you to go by. There are over fifty cookie pictures,several in each picture.My favorite is the cookie box! There are Wedding cake cookies, Groom's and fathers day cookies,cookies that are decorated to look like a quilt, emboridery,stitched, stenciled , monogramed, with flowers etc. You'll be able to create show stopping cookies and they'll taste great as well!! I love this book and i hope she put other ones out soon!
Finally, the cookie book you've been waiting for!! April 20, 2001

Finally, someone has written a book on baking beautiful cookies, complete with beautiful, clear, full-color photos, easy-to-follow instructions and great ideas for cookie gift-giving. There are many, many (believe me, I've looked) books on cookies, but all of them seem to neglect the fact that cookies can look as beautiful as any cake or pastry. A cake is a good gift if you have a way to transport it, or if there aren't terribly many people to be served from it, but cookies are easy to take anywhere without too much effort, can often be made quite a bit in advance, and can be made in "batches" so that many can share the extraordinary goodies. Toba Garrett is an experienced chef (I've been trying to register for her sold-out classes several times) with an impeccable reputation (not an easy thing to attain in New York City!) who writes in a very easy to understand fashion. The recipes are easy and the cookies astoundingly beautiful (and shhhhh!, they're not hard to do either--but your guests won't know that!)
