The Wilton Book of Wedding Cakes Hardcover – January 1, 1750

Delivered in fast good order and this antique copy I used to own and was destroyed by fire, has now found its way back to me, THANK YOU LORD! Although it is dated, many of these designs can simply be updated with modern flowers. So glad as a cake decorator to have this back in my library once more.

A little dated, but great for providing information and ideas. Arrived quickly and in good condition.

I bought this for my granddaughter who was entering a wedding cake contest. She won the contest and loved the book. She will get future ideas from it. the book's condition was great.

I have made cakes for over 40 years and sometimes need some fresh ideas to work with. Every bride wants her own cake and I can adapt changes into the ones they choose.

I purchased this book purely for the comic relief and it satisfied on oh, so many levels. Starting with the rather ominous, blurred photograph of the Disco King and Child Bride on the front cover, the whole thing looks like it was photographed by a Swedish pornographer who was down on his luck. Every single picture was taken in Vaseline-vision. Something is out of focus in every shot. Usually not the cake, but still.ahhh, Yes. The cakes. They are what you would expect. If you attended a Southern Baptist wedding at any point between 1966 and last week and found yourself in a "fellowship hall" or church basement for the reception, you've seen these cakes. Spewing tulle. Spitting improbable arrangements of bells and birds. Burdened by the stifling chains of plastic flotsam and impaled with gurgling, oozing miniature fountains. There is a haphazard and offensive preponderance of columns, some of which emerge from the backs of swans like a rising sun. I reserve all my personal wrath for the bizarre "plastic fire escape" stair cases rigged up on the sides of many of the cakes. The purpose of these appears to be to evacuate the tiny, poorly painted civilization of humanoids dressed as bridesmaids from the top tier. What they are running from is what you're about to eat.Don't believe me? Buy the book. It's worth the shipping.

Pretty good

Brings back memories of the 1970's when plastic columns were all the rage on wedding cakes!

1900's, book should be a freebie. Would returned or exchange, but they will not give payment.

lot of pictures without sufficient explanation and only 3 recipes for cake itself
