FTC DISCLAIMER: I RECEIVED AN E-ARC FROM NETGALLEY IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW. RECEIPT OF THIS BOOK IN THIS MANNER DOES NOT AFFECT MY OPINION OF THE BOOK OR THE CONTENT OF MY REVIEW.**This collection of floral buttercream cake decorating ideas comes from none other than the world’s leading instructors in buttercream techniques, Queen of Hearts Couture cakes, the bestselling authors of The Contemporary Buttercream Bible, 100 Buttercream Flowers, and Buttercream One-Tier Wonders. This book contains ideas to inspire you and the know how to make the ideas come true. It also gives the basics so that even beginners can create these designs too. Each design is presented as a spectacular tiered cake, a more accessible single tiered cake, and a beginner-friendly batch of cupcakes to meet each reader at their skill level. So, there are more than 48 projects within this book. What I liked is that the author doesn’t assume that you’re an expert already. They explain things at all skill levels. The directions are very self explanatory and easy to follow. They were simple enough that even someone who hasn’t decorated a cake before can manage to make beautiful buttercream flowers. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn the fine art of cake decorating.

Amazing book on buttercream flowers. I really enjoy this one.

This is a beautifully presented book, the information is really good. With a good deal of practise and some equipment, these magnificent cakes and flowers can be achieved in your home. I just love poring through the book, and marvelling at how everything looks realistic and beautiful. A must if you are interested in decorating and baking special event cakes.

A wonderful guide to making a variety of buttercream flowers. An essential book for the beginning cake decorator.

Splendidly presented both photographically and logically. Valeri Valeriano has organized this book in such a way that it will serve the beginner as well as more experienced baked goods decorator. The skills are presented progressively, and easily mastered. Even a novice decorator can apply the skills outlined fairly quickly. I would have wished for a few more how to photos on the more complicated presentations, however I am a visual learner. This book would make a great gift and a wonderful addition to any baker's collection.

This book has a lot of great info and a lot of good pictures. Starts from the basics and moves towards more advanced flower piping and technique. At times I felt the descriptions were a little lacking. There needed to be more steps listed. More pictures of the steps. It seemed like a lot of times there would be 3-4 pictures per flower. To really learn these techniques from a book you need more pictures and descriptions than that. Overall it’s a great book. Well laid out and easy to find things. Easy to move progressively from a simple flower to more detailed ones all within the same stroke type.I received a digital copy of this book from netgalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review.
