Trade Review"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"The images throughout this book are beyond stunning. 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"Jacqueline has broken everything down into easy to follow steps and created some ingenious techniques that make some elements so simple. Everything has detailed supply lists and clear photos matching each step to its instructions... Thank you Jacqueline for an amazing resource..."
