I have a wedding cake order for a Mich Turner cake and am looking at buying her book "Spectacular Cakes". Does anyone own this book or have any opinions on whether it is beneficial? I am also looking at buying "Confetti Cakes" by Elisa Strauss. When you buy on-line it is so difficult since you can't see what is in the book but my local book stores carry almost nothing for cake decorating books. Any opinions on either of these books would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I like Confetti Cakes as it has a lot of unique ideas and pictures and covers cakes, cupcakes and cookies. I haven't tried any of the recipes though.

I have the Confetti Cakes Cookbook and I lone it. I've only tried the chocolate cake once, I love the flavor but I baked it too long, I'll definately make that one again. I can't wait to try her other recipes!

I ordered Mich Turners book and was disappointed in it. I gave it away for a raffle. I haven't seen Elisa Strauss's book yet but I do like her work on the Food Network challenges.

I have Mich Turners book. She has beautiful cakes and lots of really nice ideas (patterns for her cakes are included in the book). Recipes also.

Thanks everyone for your opinions! I appreciate all the help I get on CC!
