I would give this more stars if I could. I am a cake decorator, and have been chided in the past that my cakes look very "Albertsons". Yes, that was meant by my manager to be an insult... /sigh. I'm left-handed and had a hard time learning flower techniques from my co-workers, who are right-handed - couldn't mentally mirror-image the way they move their wrists or the angle of the tip, that sort of thing. This book was a break-through for me. Because the images are shown almost-upside down, with each petal laid out so you can clearly see the shape you're going for, I had no trouble following this guide. I have had no condescending comments from co-workers, and no negative comments from the bakery manager! I bring it with me every night - I am lucky enough to work graveyard, so I have the space on our cake bench to actually set out the book and all my bags and learn the flower without worrying about judgmental looks or snide comments from the more senior decorators. Tip for other lefties: In the book they call for a few right-handed PME tips - 57R and 58R. You can find the left-handed versions, 57L and 58L right here on Amazon!-Akhah
Everything I was hoping for! So much detail for so many flowers, it's an amazing flower bible and I will use it from now on to reference ideas and instruction for all of my buttercream flowers! These ladies have done their homework and have made it easy for anyone to pipe beautiful buttercream flowers!-Evonne D.
Wonderful. First pages are all about piping technique and coloring, etc. Every SINGLE page after that is dedicated to its own flower with a large picture of the finished product and several pictures with written steps to getting to that finished product. pages in the end focus on leaves and a few techniques to making a finish cake with what you will learn. The flowers are also all organized by color, which is awesome! this is most definitely worth getting if you want to learn how to pipe a variety of flowers.-Christina Garcia
