I've just been stalking their website (since seeing this forum) and am wondering if the book includes instructions on their beautiful GP flowers. Anyone know?

Thanks!

You're welcome, drakegore .

Geez, I bought a UK version of this book which has yet to arrive, I'm wondering if it will have overseas measurements (with the US release having standard measurements)? Last year I bought a book from Peggy Porschen overseas thinking it was a different book but it was the same as an American book that she put out with a different title and different measurements.

bobwonderbuns - It was released in the UK (believe it or not) before it was released here - go figure
The PC book will be exactely the same world wide - and i am hoping for your sake it has your convesations/measurements.
Many of us over here where hoping that they would have their famous Wonkly/TopsTurvey cake in it but no
Lots of Kids cakes in it -
I had a good read of it in one of our local book shops - but decided against buying it - don't do enough kids cakes - but the recipes are great to have.

I can type up the Aust/USA conversations for you if you wish - you know from Imperial to metric.

I did what Bluehue did - had a thorough look through the book in the bookshop but decided against purchasing it. I DO admire their style at PC, to me it seems like they employ a good number of graphic designers to get their stylish look. Overall though, the instructions were a bit basic, although the pictures are delicious

Bluehue - there are some great conversion websites around...I use them a lot for converting US recipes etc. Here's the link to one <http://www.onlineconversion.com/weight_common.htm> ... you can click on other conversions (eg temperature, length etc). Wouldn't want you spending all nigth typing up conversions

LOL Evoir
yes - actually i thinkkkkkkkkkk i have that saved somewhere on my pc -


I was speaking to a lovely CC lady just this last week and we have arranged to swap s/s measuring cups and spoons - for those times when you open a book and the requirements are in USA/Australian measurements - and one can't be bothered running to the cp to grab the convesation (mind you i also think i have it printed out in a file - yes, i do.)
Just thought it something *different* to have and handy to have in the *second drawer* - lol lol

Re the PC book - have to agree - the pics are all very lovely and everything looks stunning - but perhaps i was hoping for more - not sure what - wellllllllll the mad hatters cake actually.
And the Cake with their *explosion* coming out the top isn't even in it -
I thought that would be in it for sure -

Hey - great idea about the measuring tools! I actually - ahem -"inherited" (read: I pinched!) a US 8oz measuring cup from my mother, LOL! I often use it for recipes I can't be bothered converting! And, so long as I remember a US tsp is 15ml (not 20ml) I am pretty go to go I moslty use the conversion websites for non-standard temperatures.

I am actually contemplating heading down to Sydney to do a PC course...to see if I can do the ganache thing first hand (then sell their secrets on CC, he heheh - JUST KIDDING!!)

Today is cookie-baking day for the Mother's day stall - yay! Fun for me...no kids all day, no husband, no errands to run - BLISS! I still owe you a PM BH....after the cookies I promise

You're welcome...glad to help .
