Wilton Cake Decorating : The 2000 Yearbook, Special Millennium Edition

Like the previous reviewer, I agree that the book is very much a catalog and not a tool for teaching. But I have to stress that if you love to decorate cakes and are looking for new ideas and what is current in the cake decorating world, than this is a book for you. I have looked at the book countless of times, and it has lots of ideas for holidays, baptisims, wedding, graduation etc. It is a really nice book to look at, I can't tell you how many times I have used this book as a source.

this book/catalogue not only gives you old and new product information but also helps you get ideas for all types of cake designs, candy making etc. it also contains recipes that have been well tested over the years. wilton yearbooks are also a very collectable item, especially the yearbooks produced in the late 60's and 70i's. get them while they are available. the price is reasonable compared to what many books hard and soft covers cost.

I recently look at the Wilton Cake Decorating Yearbook 2000 and I was not impressed at all. To me it was definately not worth the price of the book. It is more like a catalog that the company should offer to you for a cheaper price when you buy one of their products or give it to you free. It showed very little about how to decorate cakes and use the various candy molds, cake pans, icings tips, and other items that Wilton sells. 95% of the book was a catalog for you to order more of their products. If you want a book to teach yourself how to decorate cakes this is definately not the one. If you are having a problem finding Wilton supplies in your area this may very well be the book for you. It does actually have a lot of different products that are not found in local store unless maybe a candy or cake decorating store, but as I said before it is a catalog. I would advise anyone to look at this book somewhere before they decide to buy, such as I did.
