Focus is in Gum Paste.
Not a well rounded book, it does not describe it's main focus is Gum Paste in advertising. It has no butter cream flowers.

So much more than I expected!
The book is gorgeous, all of the photos are beautiful! The directions are clearly explained with lists of equipment needed and photos of every step so you're not going into your project blind. I wasn't expecting all of the extra info in the front of the book. She lists her trusted recipes and many tips. I'm a beginner when it comes to fondant and gum paste and this book is not intimidating at all. I highly recommend this to everyone from beginners like me to professionals wanting to up their skills.

Absolutey gorgeous
A beautifully laid out book with excellent instructions and photos. Totally suited to the intermediate and experienced cake decorator looking to expand their repertoire with new skills, techniques, and creatively different ideas. Learning where Heidi sourced her various tools from was an added bonus. As an experienced cake decorator and competition judge myself, I would place Heidi's techniques and advice for structural intregrity at 'teaching world's best practices' level.

Very nice
This is a great book. It has many gumpaste flower/leaves/filler stuff tutorials, that are easy to follow and well illustrated. It also has many great cake decorating tutorials that are illustrated well. Overall a great book! I'm happy with this purchase.

Not for beginners
I thought I had bought a book to learn how to decorate cakes from the basics. This book is definitely for the more experienced baker, filled with really difficult challenges. 5 stars though as it is such a good book.
