Wilton 902-240 48-Page Soft-Cover Cake-Decorating Guide, Course 1 Reviews

Review by Elaine J. Eddington:

Just a note, you get this book free when you sign up to take the Wilton Cake Class Course 1 (at least you do at Michael's Arts & Crafts where I took mine)

The book is easy to understand, pictures are literally step by step and include instruction such as "offhand," meaning it will tell you that something should resemble an ice cream cone or look like a behive, to swirl here, or lightly brush here, sweeping motion, etc. I found it very refreshing not to all be spoken in terms that only people who attended culinary school would understand. It also shows you the pictures of suggested supplies you will need in the beginning of the book so your not running back to the store each time you start a new segment.

I would suggest just taking the class because on top of getting the book free, you do get a lot more tips and advice from the instructor that you can jot down in the ample space imbetween pictures and notes in the book. But if you too busy or there isn't a class scheduled near you, this book would certainly suffice in helping you get started!

Review by Z. Xu:

I just begin a Wilton cake decorating class #1 at Michael's, and this book comes FREE with the class which is (instructor says these course books should retail about -5 at most).

You should take the class in addition to read this book, the experience of live teaching by an experienced instructor is invaluable. During this class, you will learn the beginner cake decoration techniques. It's a lot of fun, and if you don't want to proceed onto course II or III, it should be fine with just decorating your average cupcake, cookies and basic cakes. [[though most people love it so much that they do advance on..]]

however, I do have to caution that the course I tool kit you can buy (.99 @ Michael's) is only the bare minimum, it does not have all the things you will need for the first class. so be prepared to develop this hobby and pay more (~-40 depending on what you want) for other tool/tips/bags....

Review by mbeaty77:

the book is ok on its own but really is meant to be used in a class.

Review by :

I didn't realize that this was 13 individual books for an actual class. I bought it as a Christmas present for my mom thinking that it was 1 book. There are some great ideas in it but it was not worth the money I paid.
