I ordered Confetti Cakes expecting exciting and wonderfu ideas for decorating my cakes and cupcakes. I waited with bated breathe until it arrived. I was so disappointed I nearly threw it away! There is not one cake or cupcake in this book that remotely looks appetizing. Who in the world would eat this stuff? All of the projects look as if they were made with Play Dough. There is a difference between cake decorating and arts and crafts. The yellow duck cupcakes made with broiche pans are simlpy disgusting. This is not food.

I found the Confetti Cake book to be full of wonderful ideas and recipes. It is not, however, for the new to cake decorating. But, after some practice, I think I will be able to make some of the cakes included in this book.
It has a great section on supplies needed and why. That was very helpful.

When I started with the idea of cake decorating, I had no idea where it will lead to, but after my basic courses and devouring books on cake decorating, I know where I am heading. And this book is “the cherry on the cake” so to speak. This is what I want to create. This is where I am heading. Best of luck to everybody else on their journey.

I had eyed this book coming for quite some time – anticipating a book filled with wonderful cake designs that I could accomplish. Although a beautiful table top book, it did not deliver what I expected. Of all 218 pages, there were ONLY six cakes that even looked edible, and they were stacked cakes. The rest were centerpiece decorations that are amazing to LOOK at, but not eat. I do like the cupcake ideas and the techniques in cookie design. I know Elisa is one (if not the best!) cake decorator/designer, but as a cake decorator I was hoping for ideas and techniques. I think this book is great if people just want to see Elisa’s work but aren’t expecting anything else.
