Fondant Modeling for Cake Decorators: 100 Fondant Features to Top Off a Special Cake

Very handy useful book, the way it explains how to create the fondant is so easy and not difficult to understand, explains very well how to mix and get the bright colors and how to get the required shape, for me I found it very useful and helping to create other items besides the ones in the book I used it as a reference for coloring, shaping and cutting.it was a nice journey :)

For someone like me, who really wants to get into fondant figurines, this book helps a lot. With the right tools and techniques, you can imagine how to make other things that aren't shown in the book. I was certainly surprised to see how much information the author gave.

This is a hardcover book with spiral binding. When baking, I find it essential that the book stay open and flat so I can refer to it as I bake. I love how this book is made!Size-wise, the book is small, but content-wise, it's packed! Not only does it contain how to create lots of different little characters in fondant, but it also contains cake recipes, frosting recipes, and recipes to make your own fondant, gumpaste, and marzipan.I was confused when the book discussed modeling chocolate among all the recipes for all of the above items, but it did not actually include a recipe for modeling chocolate. I'm thinking that this is an error in the book, maybe? It is the first edition, after all. I found a recipe for modeling chocolate online (it's ridiculously simple!), but I think that if it's going to be mentioned with the 'make your own' section of ingredients, then the recipe should be included.Overall, the book is great! It covers all the tools and techniques you need for creating super cute fondant creatures. I love the step-by-step photos throughout the book. Every page has full-color photos. The pages are thick and glossy.Be warned that the book is written for a UK audience. Some of the terms used in the book are different for Americans, but this isn't a major hindrance.This is a well-crafted, interesting, creative, and informative book about making fondant creatures. I feel completely inspired to take my fondant skills to the next level with this. Highly recommended!

I'm an at-home custom cake decorator, and purchased this book as a guide to help me expand my skills. I would have liked to have been able to view the Contents Page when I brought the book, as I was looking for a specific cake topper to make. After buying the book I found it did not include the topper I hoped for - however it does include may other great designs that I have and will continue to use in the future.I especially found the beginning of the book useful, where it showed images and provided explanations of each type of tool and item needed and how to use it successfully. It also provides a cake recipe and a simple buttercream recipe - which I admit I have not attempted yet as I have my own. The step-by-step instructions are very clear and easy to follow.

Quick & easy too! I made the penguins for a last minute cake for a friend's cake in winter. I added some snowflakes & voila!

I was looking for a gift for my friend who is learning modeling fondant. This book is fantastic and the spiral design is very convenient for use in the kitchen. Very happy with the product, thank you!

Informative book on modeling. Usually I just go by pics off google for inspiration, but this book taught me techniques and helped me see how to construct a 3D object that is stable. The instructions are easy to follow and the difficulty ratings seem spot on. I made the penguins from the cover and the snowman. :D

I bought this hoping to learn something about fondant. I've been working with fondant for under a year and look for ways to learn more. There are some good ideas, but mostly for kids' cakes. If you are a beginner doing it for fun for kids' birthday cakes or informal cutsie cakes then its a good book. For me, it was a waste of money. I'll probably gift it to someone. The instructions are pretty good and the wire binding was a great idea so it lays flat.

Love this book may have to get the rest in the set

Love the book but be careful if you also order 100 fondant models for cake decorators because it is exactly the same book with a different cover by the same author.

Este libro me cautivó por la foto de la portada y sus pingüinos, cuando lo tuve delante fue una maravillosa sorpresa porque es muy, muy, muy útil. Tiene un formato con anillas grandes que lo convierten en una maravilla porque se puede trabajar sin estropearlo, se aguanta de pie sin necesidad de atriles, simple y fantástico, me encanta !!

really handy

A lovely book, but duplicated mostly from previous books by the auther,
