" The Buttercream Bible is an absolute game changer in the industry of cake art. I've never seen techniques and talent presented in such a way as to be concurrently hugely aspirational yet completely approachable. I look forward to learning all the skills that I, as an artist in rolled fondant, have only the most rudimentary grasp of. Not since Cakewalk by Margaret Braun have I been this excited about a cake book. Bravo!" --Chef Duff Goldman

    Item was as pictured, New condition as described. Package was nice and securely wrapped in bubble wrap to not get damaged in transit. Very happy with purchase. Seller warned me it would be shipped in a large box because of it's odd size. I have been looking for this game in a complete set and I keep finding incomplete sets or pieces of it. Happy to finally track down a new set.
