I'm looking into buying one of Debbie Brown's cake decorating books. I have read that she makes easy to follow instructions. I loved the cakes in the 50 Easy Party cakes (I've only seen the books online), but I'm concerned though because I believe she is from Europe and I have seen that Americans can get confused by European terms and vice versa. So was wondering if anyone has used any of her books and if they're worth it.

If not, what books have you used that were worth the buy? I'm looking for something like hers with unique cakes but with easy to follow instructions. I really like the idea of cake sculpting, but I'm no artist and so it definitely has to be something easy to follow.

Any help would be appreciated!

Bump. I know someone out there uses books lol

I only have Wilton books right now, but plan on getting Toba Garrett's "The Well decorated cake" and her new book coming out in Sept. "Professional Cake Decorating"

Sorry, don't know too much about Debbie Brown.

Oh, I have heard A LOT of good things about "The Whimsicle Bakehouse" try that one.

I have Debbie Browns and it's very easy to understand. I have not tried any of her cakes yet though.

I also have some Colette Peter's which give great step by step instructions.

I have so many books. I have tons of Wilton yearbooks, Colete Peters books, and books by other authors. Can't remember all there names.

I must say that I like to look through them but when it comes time for a cake I always refer to this site for ideas.

I have several of Debbie Brown's books and I think try're GREAT!
They are well illustrated and designed for simplicity. She makes it easy to make a fabulous cake. And they are just soooo fun!
