Reviews
"Jacqueline's clean, modern style is represented on every single page. Her thorough, meticulous process is carefully laid out for every single flower, with clear, easy to understand instructions... I especially enjoyed reading some of the personal notes she shares. Oh, and of course she includes the recipe she uses for sugar paste. One especially noteworthy reason to buy this book is to learn about Jacqueline's signature 'formula' for flower design. It's what makes her flowers so recognizable..." Erica OBrien Cake Design

It is easy to forget you are reading a book about sugar flowers and that they are not actually flowers - the skill, detail and photography is simply incredible... This is without a doubt a must-have book in any cake decorator's collection and an invaluable resource for creating stunning sugar flowers." Arlene Santillan, Australian Cake Decorating Network
