Happy Birthday

even I could follow her easy instructions...i didn't even know what fondant was before this! ace of cakes- here i come!

What a great book! Finally something that lets even the most novice of bakers look like Martha Stewart! If you need a reference cookbook that will give you the abilities of a master chef but in reality, has a real life that fills your waking hours, then seriously consider Anna's efforts as presented in this wonderfully fun book. The photos are large enough and tempting enough to show you how fabulous it will look and the recipes are simple enough to make you feel confident in your skills. There is enough array of themes to give you quite a selection to choose from; in fact, the "cupcake cake" is SOOO easy, its impossible to plead novice! My only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because I also have her first book, "Cakes in Bloom"; THAT book is the ultimate in cake creations! You definitely need more time, patience, and skill but what fabulous works of edible art! Nothing yet has surpassed that book.
