The book is a very good basis for entry into the professional or semi-professional confectionery and bakery craft. But the pictures are very high quality and it does make a lot of fun, just flipping through the book. One should be aware that some really amazing beautiful decorations need a lot of time to really learn about a, on the other hand this will also really implement for pies and cakes. Those looking for a basic book for everyday use, is definitely not well served by this book. Those who want to learn the other hand, special, unusual, elaborate and spectacular the cake design and dominate, which I can absolutely recommend this book!
