The Cake Parlour Sweet Tables: Beautiful Baking Displays with 40 Themed Cakes, Cupcakes, Cookies & More

My copy of this book arrived today. I have an ever-growing collection of cake decorating books and thought I had seen it all. This one, however, has clear instructions and lovely illustrations and I feel confident I could have a good go at achieving success in many of the projects shown (whether I will remains to be seen!). I particularly like the 'how to' section towards the back, and the recipes. I'll be trying some things out very soon I'm sure.

Absolutely beautiful book, as always from Zoe Clark. Gorgeous displays, stunning photography. I am unlikely to ever need to produce a complete display but that's fine - recipes and instructions are there for the individual elements so if all I want is a tray of cake pops, I can just make those. Will I ever achieve the absolute perfection of Zoe's creations? Probably not [ok, definitely not] but I can dream and this book definitely inspires me to try.

Useful for ideas but you will need to have previous experience of cake decorating as I believe absolute beginners would find this book challenging.I would say that most of the ideas in this book apart from the cupcakes and biscuits are for more experienced decorators. I have a lot of cake books and probably wont use this one much apart from looking at the pictures,instructions are ok,but its not as easy as its made to look but that is true of a lot of cake decorating books.

Another delightful book from one of the Queen of Cakes. This is a lovely book that will have you drooling over the creations. There are basic recipes for cakes, macarons, ganache, etc and suggestions on how to alter these for different sweet tables. The photos give plenty of ideas on how to dress your own sweet table. Can't wait to have a go.

Another stunning book by Zoe Clark. Her instructions are clear and consise. The cakes and sweet tables are gorgeous, definitely recommend this book, even though I am not really in to the trend of sweet tables, there are elements that you can pick out and do as individual projects.

il libro é ben illustrato, le fotografie sono chiare e le spiegazioni altrettanto. belle ricette e buoni gli spunti. ottimo rapporto qualitá e prezzoThe book is well illustrated, the photographs are clear and explanations as well. good recipes and good cues. very good quality and price

This is such a versitile little book.Very clear instructions and excellent pictures.A must have for anyone who enjoys making sweets.

I was very excited to get this book.... however, although it has very pretty pictures, there is not much detail in how to actually make the items shown. The description is very vaugue and unless you have some knowledge to begin with, you are unlikely to learn much (and if you know already - what's the point?!?!). Pretty pictures , but worth the money? Hmmmmmm.....

The recipes are simple. Easy directions for a perfect product every time!

I love this book, it has very beautiful creations. The directions are very clear and easy to follow.I will recommend this to everyone. This is my second book of Zoe Clark.

per un primo approccio ai sweet tables è perfetto, ti da idee di allestimento con ricette e trucchi da poter usare per le proprie creazioni, spiega anche terminologia specifica, molto completo.

Tres joli livre, souple ce qui est pratique pour la cuisine, de tres belles photos , ca à l air assez simple a realiser, pas encore teste!

Ich oute mich hiermit als großer Zoe Clark Fan! Dieses Buch ist wieder ein hübsches Stück Londoner Konditorenkunst. Mit schönen Bildern und gut nachvollziehbaren Step-by-step-Anleitungen ist dieses Buch perfekt für Einsteiger geeignet, die ihre eigenen SweetTables designen wollen. Sechs Thementische (Bunte Süßigkeitenvielfalt, Romantisches Pastellrüschen, Rote Rosen zum Valentinstag, Weiße Weihnacht, Babyparty, Cake Parlour) werden detailverliebt präsentiert. Das Buch schließt mit einem umfangreichen "Rezepte und Techniken"-Teil, der alle Basics des Backens vorstellt. Ich denke, dass auch Menschen ohne besonders gute Englischkenntnisse Freude an diesem Buch haben werden, denn allein die Bilder sind schon inspirierend.
