All the basics are covered to get you started--how to make stable buttercream icing, advice on coloring and flavor as well as essentials such as how to fill a piping bag and the basic techniques you need.
Valerie&Christina then demonstrate in step-by-step photographic detail how to create each flower and how to use your new found skills to create stunning cake designs. The flowers are presented through the color spectrum so when you look through the book you'll see the lovely rainbow effect.

The step by step directions make sure there is no guessing as to how to do each flower that is illustrated." Crafter's Corner
