    Charming, Chocolatey Goodness
  

*by L***K on Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2013*

If you've ever wished your dessert were shaped like the Parthenon and sandwiched between an edible Colosseum and Lighthouse of Alexandria, then just stop reading this review and buy the book. But even if your dessert style is more "rice crispy ball" than "edible architecture," don't walk away! There's plenty of tips and tricks for even the casual baker, and Ms. Coniaris writes with a voice that's straightforward, charming and encouraging and makes a four-tiered thematic cake seem somehow manageable.I'm not about to construct the Hanging Gardens of Babylon out of buttercream, but after reading this book, I know how to make decorative roses, how to stack tiers, how to mix vibrant buttercreams, and how to calculate servings based on pan dimensions. The instructions are clear and engaging, and the photos are exquisite. Even if you never tried a single technique in this book it would still do honor to your coffee table based on photos alone.There's a cheery koi with 200 vibrant modeling chocolate "scales." There's a triple-tiered buttercream with a rainbow of bright roses and cascades of sugary pearls in 28 different shades. There's a four-foot tall gingerbread interpretation of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory complete with Oompa Loompas and a chocolate river. There's a model of the Millennium Falcon. And there is chocolate -- oh, is there chocolate -- white, semisweet, dark; in chips, ribbons and sheets; in every color and shape you can imagine.In short, whether you're looking for instruction or inspiration, there's something in this book to satisfy.

    Wicked Temptations to Delight Your Eye and Tummy
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2013*

Who would have thought that so much could be done with an ingredients and elements that I love? Chocolate and desserts and decorating! If you love cookbooks, which I do--I'm one of those who actually will read them like a book-book, creating variations of a recipe as I go along in my head and writing notes in margins--this one is awesome. Beautifully designed, easy to follow. Yes, some of the ideas are above my pay-grade, but hey, I came away with a huge array of tips and how-tos. I discovered the author when she took top honors with her Gingerbread house, all three feet plus of it, in Boston a year ago. Her website is the cat's meow and I marveled at her skills at creating visual masterpieces out of common food for the eye.(I'll never think of jelly beans and pretzel sticks as just munchies again). Of course I would want her first book. If you love cookbooks, you will want this one; if you are into artistic creations for taste buds, you will want this one; and if you just want to stretch yourself with your own creating, Kristen Coniaris is your teacher. Highly recommended. You'll want this book.Judith Briles, author of Author YOU: Creating and Building Your Author and Book Platforms.

    Ultimate guide for working with modeling chocolate
  

*by E***A on Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2013*

Coniaris' book is excellent. In addition to the vivid photos that clearly guide readers through each technique and tutorial, her writing style is descriptive and as vivid as the photos. Each "how-to" really comes to life through the combination of words and photos. The detailed step-by-step instructions would make it easy for even a novice to re-create all the decorations.I'm not a pastry chef, but have worked in many high-end bakeries for years and can attest that modeling chocolate is FAR superior to fondant. I can't imagine why any bakery or baker that aims to offer high-quality products would even touch the stuff (fondant). This book really is the ultimate guide to making the switch to modeling chocolate and mastering its use! Once you try it, you'll never go back to fondant.If you're still not sure, I recommend checking out Coniaris' blog to get a taste of the quality information you'll get from this book - http://www.wickedgoodies.net/category/decorating/
