Reader Reviews
I'm a novice sugarcrafter, but I really liked this book. The recipes were good (although some of the ingredients are hard to find outside of the UK), the characters are adorable (although I hadn't heard of a few because they're UK characters that haven't made it to North America), and the full-colour pictures are really well done. Characters included: Fireman Sam, Flower Fairies, Wombles, My Little Pony, Dennis & Gnasher, Kipper, Garfield, Little Miss, Sonic, Brambly Hedge, Bananas in Pyjamas, Super Mario, Wallace and Gromit, Rugrats, Rupert, Babar, Sesame Street, and Barney. I will give this warning to folks out there: these are not quick cakes. It can take a full day or two to decorate cakes like this, and you do need some sculpting skill (which I happen to have). That's not a fault of the book; that's the nature of detailed sugarcraft. This is an art, not a simple dessert. The cake is incidental. But if you're willing to put in the time, this book should help you really delight kids and adults alike.
