Title: If her style is not your thing, then this book is not a "masterclass"
Review: The subtitle of this book makes it sound like it is going to be very comprehensive when it comes to technique. But unfortunately it is really a gallery of (in my opinion... and I know she has a lot of fans out there) over-the-top, carnival-inspired, topsy-turvy cakes with only very general guidelines on how to make them. Also, because she doesn't do more classic and elegant cakes, her designs tend to look dated quickly.The last 20 pages or so of the book are about actual technique, but I don't feel like those 20 pages justify the price of the book.Obviously Colette is an amazing artist, but I prefer Toba Garrett's "The Well Decorated Cake" and Kate Sullivan's "Kate's Cake Decorating" for actual instructions and more timeless designs.
