Sugar Orchids for Cakes

Book contains so many different orchids that I haven't seen in real life so it's nice. Also has a couple of roses. Back of book also have templates. List of equipments and materials has page or template reference which is very helpful. Photos aren't step by step as I'd hope, doesn't have pictures next to written instructions. Pictures are laid out across middle of book with instructions on top and lower part of book. Looks a bit too advance for me but with a bit of practice, I'm sure it'll make me look like a pro. :)

Excellent source of information.

Thank you for being a positive transaction partner. Well done !Perfect item. Carefully packed. Just what i wanted. Thank you.

What kind of orchid do you want to make? This beautiful book will probably have it. Visually stunning and well illustrated with quality photos. It is more than inspiring!

I'm a great Alan Dunn fan, as his books never disappoint. Not only is he a great demonstrator, his books (this one is no exception) provide superb step-by-step instructions with great illustrations. Whether I'm looking for inspiration on design, or how-to instructions, I turn to one of two authors - Alan Dunn is one of them. I like the way he structures his books logically. This one covers the subject of orchids, and it's the logical place to look if you want to know how to construct just about any variety you can think of!

excellent book will recommend

Only if you've already done some elementary courses about sugar flowers, otherwise this book is difficult for you. Have pictures showing the appearance of how the flowers are done but the description is not as straight forward. Ideas are good though!

great book! Talented fellow!

The usual beautifully illustrated, written and inspiring book by the masters! Alan Dunn, Tombi Peck and Tony Warren has really surpassed themselves with this latest book. There are, of course other leaves and flowers included, weeping figs and passionflowers for example. My daughter and I found the '21st' project - the half completed Zygopetalum orchid on page 128 makes a gorgeous flower fairy! They have also included a little information about each orchid. Very much a book for designing but also just for picking up to look at

Bought this book as I need instructions on how to make sugar moth orchid for a wedding cake. This book covers all types of orchids, with clear basic step-by-step instructions. But I still feel you need to look at someone actually making the flowers/basic knowledge before you tackle this book.

I own several of this authors books and buy because love his work and although seasoned sugar artist myself find his book inspirational and easy to follow.

A wonderful book to inspire the sugarcrafter to greater things. Although beautiful to just look at, this book does go along way to showing you how you could achieve stunning results with practise. One irritation is that the flowers are almost exclusively made in white paste and photographed against a pale background making it difficult to see detail in the step by step pictures particularly when the written instructions are complicated or a little vague. I would have liked more instruction with regards the colouring of the flowers but one of Alan Dunn's other books has that.I'm really glad I bought this book.

This is a fantastic book it shows the flower as a botanical picture and easy step by step guide to making it.A must for anyone who wants to make botanical correct flowers.Alan Dunn is a master at his craft and even a beginner could manage some of these flowers after reading this book.I would by any book by this authour you can always reley him
