Buttercream Book - A Collection of Best Recipes (Cookbook: Cake Decorating)

I tried several of the recipes in this book. The banana caramel butter cream was really a hit. I did have to modify it a bit, however, that one was a favorite. The recipes are easy to understand and make. I do love that there are some combinations I have never tried and taste delicious.

I bought this as a gift for an aspiring baker. It is very detailed and offers quite a collection of flavors to select from.

I like the fact that there are so many recipes of icing listed in this book. Ones that I had never even heard of. I like the fact that the words are larger and easier to read. The words are spaced out nice. Great to read if you have bad vision. However, I don't think a lot of thought went into the publishing. The biggest fact is that bakers and cooks will be using this in their kitchens and the pages is regular thin non water resistant paper. Not durable around liquids. There are no pictures, so it is a little boring, even some color pictures of different icings would give this book a boost. However, overall, I would still suggest that it is worth purchasing. No other book that I have read, has had so many variety of icing recipes. The book is priced right. If your serious about cake icing, then definetly buy this.

This little book allows you to get all the knowledge you will ever need when it comes to frosting your cakes..

I am new to cake decorating. This is the best variety of butter creams you will find. After two years I have been searching for a book that covered all the mediums. This one has not only butter creams but fondant, gum paste and glazes. I can quit wasting my time now. More baking time.

Great recipes. Tasty and delicious.

I decided to make Lemon Cream Cheese Buttercream. I assembled all of my ingredients and began making the buttercream. I got to the preparation part whereas in Step 2 it tells you to add the powdered sugar and DUTCH COCOA! Dutch cocoa was not in the list of ingredients (nor in my opinion should it be!) I'm not sure if this typo is the only one but please be aware - read the full recipe first before beginning it.

Loving these recipes and the huge amount of knowledge that is shared. Looking forward to more recipes! Can't wait to bake.

So, many inspirational recipes. I can’t wait to try them, also great to have the recipes all in one place.

Lots of different icing recipes to try
