Love the many themes and how simple it is
I like the step-by-step instructions to create the cakes.
I usually just pile on the icing & maybe add store-bought decorations, lol. I think using candies is a great idea!
not having to bake from scratch to create these designs is awesome
I love decorating with fondant!!
I love all the awesome designs! So cool!
What a great idea – your table looks fantastic and I love the flowers even more than the stars!
I love that it doesn’t take a huge amount of artist ability in order to create these awesome cakes! My daughter would have so much fun helping me on them!
I usually use sprinkles and chocolate shavings as well as different icing techniques. I usually do cookies, cupcakes and that sort of thing.. been wanting to get more into cake decorating, so this would be helpful!
I love all the great decorating ideas that the book has!
I’m not the best at decorating cakes but I did make some pretty amazing cookie monster cupcakes a couple of years ago. I like to make sure I have all of the equipment and it becomes quite easy.
I love the whole idea of using the candy to add texture and design to the cakes.
My favorite thing about the book is that the authors don’t make you feel like you have to be an expert baker to make a cake that looks fabulous!
I usually just use lots of frosting, lol. I love the idea of using candies. They look great.
I usually decorate with lots of creamy frosting & store bought decorations, but I’d love to learn how to really decorate cakes!
These cakes are amazing and I want to learn how to make them!
I like making cakes that are unique to what my kiddos love. I’ve made a tractor for my son and an elephant for my daughter. They’re a lot of work, but seeing their happy faces is totally worth it!
I love all of the ideas and tips and tricks! I love the idea of having no idea what I’m doing, but still ending up with a professional finished product!
I like that it includes colorful illustrations of the cakes and that you can create the confections with everyday kitchen tools. Thanks.

Most of the time I just frost the cake & try a few flowers or geometric patterns with icing, lol.
I like that it has a section to use premade pound cakes to make decorating faster.
I usually decorate with lots of frosting & candies or fruit. Anything on cake is great.
I usually decorate with store bought decorations, candies or small toys on birthdays. I’d love to give some of these a try!
I just ice the cake no decorations
I like decorating cakes with lots of frosting, candies & fruits. Lots of frosting is the most important thing, lol.
I love fresh whipped cream.
I love how creative they get with candy.
I usually use buttercream or cream cheese frosting, since they go with almost any cake. Then I add store-bought candies or decorations
I like the detailed directions and the beautiful pictures.
My favorite way to decorate a cake is with a simple frosting and my 1M tip. I will make rosettes, swirls or stars to decorate and use different colored frosting or sprinkles to make it special.
I’d love to be able to decorate a cake as elaborately as some bakers can, but I usually just add store-bought items! These look pretty neat!
I really like that they include designs and tips for people of all skill levels.
I really like how it lays them out to where I feel confident I can bake and decorate it myself. Love all the examples as well.
I would love to decorate with some great buttercream frosting & fresh strawberries (or other berries.) That always tastes great!
I am most interested in using store-bought pound cake.
I’d love to learn to decorate like the experts, making all sorts of things out of fondant & sugar. I think the best I can do is frosting & candies!
Usually, my idea of decorating is just adding as much frosting as possible! Adding candies like this seems like a really great idea!
I think decorating a cake with my niece & nephews is fun. Letting them decide how to put on the sprinkles and other things is a nice way to keep them occupied.
I Like to decorate with chocolate chips and peanut butter chips!
I like the Idea of pound cake as a base!
My favorite feature of the book is that you don’t need fancy kitchen utensils or pans in order to create most of the recipes.
I would say I like decorating with thick, thick frosting! Frosting makes the cake, to me!
I love decorating cakes with things like sprinkles & chocolate shavings. My niece & nephews love helping with that kind of thing.
I love the idea of using pound cake as a base
I would really love to learn how to make cakes that are shaped like some character & use fondant to ice them instead of frosting. I think those cakes look great!
I love that there are great photos. I am the type that needs a good picture of what the end result is supposed to looks like.
I love decorating kids’ cakes with little candies & toys that they can keep, too. Kids love that!
I love all the creative ways to use candies and pearls.
No matter what kind of cake it is, I love plenty of frosting! Big flowers made of icing are a bonus, too, along with any candies we can add!
I like the Sara Lee pound cake chapter and the variety of cake designs
I like that there unique cakes and ways to decorate that I had not thought of. I enjoy photos that can guide me.
I love the pictures of the cakes. I would love to be able to make these cakes
I love the easy and eye catching cakes you make. I love how colorful they are and that you don’t have to be a professional to make these. Some of these are really cute and ideas that i never would have thought of.
I like frosting as smooth as I can. Then I like to use decorations like Sixlets and Jimmies to decorate in colors and patterns!
I love that they show how to use candies for decorating. They make it look so easy!
I love frosting and then decorating with sprinkles and decorations like Sixlets! I love the new decorations there are available now!
I love the beautiful pictures!
I love the easy to use instructions and the great ideas for cake designs used for any occasion.
The pictures of the cakes interest me the most.
I love the different decorating ideas.
I love the variety of looks that this book shows! I love throwing bday parties for my boys so this will give me more ideas!
Using Sara Lee pound cake is a great idea for those of us in a hurry!
I do not really decorate cakes
just say Happy Birthday on them
I like the recipes that are in the book
I would love to be able to decorate a cake like these photos show! I’m usually pretty happy if I can form a flower correctly! I love using sprinkles, candies, etc., on cakes to make my niece & nephews happy.
i think the section on baking a cake in a measuring cup looks soo neat!
I love cream cheese icing, especially on carrot cake. I usually keep decorating pretty simple: just some writing if it’s needed and the simple to make lines/dots/flowers. My skill level is not that great, lol.
I like the unique ideas like the Waffle House instead of a gingerbread house! I love it. I want to try that next Christmas!
My sister loves baking for friends parties and I think the designs she could find using the sixlets she would love
