I don't like this one quite as well as Colettet's other books, partly because I found a lot of the designs odd to ugly, and partly because so many of them depend heavily on airbrushing. Unless you're a pro, you probably don't have a food-grade airbrush! Stick to Cakes to Dream On, her other book - it's much better for inspiration.

I love this book! I am a baking and pastries major and reading this book inspires me so much! I know I can never be nearly as good as Collette herself, but the instructions inside make it look as if I can! I can certainly give it a shot!

Colette is another amazing cake decorator. Have an autographed bookplate and autographed picture.

Basically most of this stuff is out of my league, but I really enjoyed looking at it and making the individual flower cakes.
