"Renowned sugar artist Kerry Vincent shares not only her breathtaking cakes, but the how-toÕs on these signature recipes."
The Oregonian
“Kerry Vincent’s not a cake decorator—unless you call Michelangelo a church painter. She’s an artist.”
Reader Reviews
I ordered this book online, without the opportunity to browse through the pages. There is no denying that the designs have intricate, exquisite details, and the finished products are gorgeous. I especially admire the high-heeled shoes and the violin, both with floral and leaf accents. However, these cakes are much better suited for display windows than for plates. I am a cake decorator looking for design ideas, and I suspect most brides looking for wedding cake inspiration would not choose any of the designs in this book, unless they had an unlimited cake budget and a preference for very modern styles. I'm no Colette Peters, but I love her books because at least you can take her ideas and adapt them--create one or two tiers instead of six, or skip the pounds of luster dust and use beads or ribbons. These designs would be extraordinarily difficult, expensive, and time-consuming to make. They're all fondant, with draping and other details that don't translate into better-tasting buttercream. When I look at these pictures, I can't help but be impressed by the details and the technical skill, but for all the elegance, the cakes lack personalized charm.I applaud the contributers and Vincent for this compilation of distinctive, original designs. I just don't think they're the kind of cakes most people want to make or order for themselves.
