Sugar Scaries (Twenty to Make)
In this book you will find a variety of wonderful and easy to follow and make sugar scaries, perfect for cake decorating and for Halloween. I would recommend this book for both adults and children because of the easy to follow instructions andthe clarity the author/creator has used. She has also incorporated ideas on how to use the different sugar scaries. For younger children (8 years and under) I would sugges tsome adult assistance. I like how the author has also given recipes on how to make some ingredients used to create the decorations, such as the fondant or modelling paste and as an extra, given instructions on how to use the equipment and edibles. she has also included pictures and measurements for that extra bit of assistance. This book is packed full of wacky and fun ideas and detail, not only in creativity and instructions but the decorations themselves because she has made them so perfectly in colour and design. I think in order to improve this book the author/creator should have used a hint of colour in a few of the designs just co complemenet and improve on all the black that is used (although she does state that you can change the colours to suit you). Other than that small detail, I can find no other flaws in this book and would definitely recommend this book for people of all ages, whether you are a beginner at cake decorating or not. I am 12 years old and decorate cakes myself as a hobby and would definitely use these sugar scaries in the future. This is a fantastic book full of learning opportunities and ways to make cake decorating fun and exciting.
