A major facet of cake decorating is flower making. Flowers seem to be appropriate for almost any type of decoiration and the methods of constructing and modelling the many different types are spread throughout the hundreds of cake decorating books already on the market. However, the search for the best methods is over. Here in one volume there are nearly two hundred different flowers specially compiled for cake decorators.

Each flower has been individually photographed so that the decorator can see every angle of the flowers to assist in modelling. The flowers look so lifelike that you can almost smell them! Accompanying each picture is an accurate step-by-step instruction procedure and actual-sized profiles of the cutters used as well as patterns and diagrams. The list of flowers is so comprehensive that even if the one you are looking for is missing, there would be another so close in style that you could make your favourite anyway.

The basic techniques referred to in the text are photographed and explained at the front of the book and recipes for the many pastes and glues used are included along with different leaf constructions and handy hints. The flowers are listed alphabetically by common name and there is a comprehensive index for cross-referencing.
