Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)A few years ago I read Irena Chalmers Omelette Originals in which, after ten detailed pages describing how to make an omelette, she advises "be a big spender, go out and invest in dozen eggs -- by the time you have made six omelettes you will be an expert." With this book, I expect to spend more time practicing, but I feel most of the brownie treats in this book are attainable with some work. Unless you already have experience with cake decorating, many of the treats will be more suited to be after-school snacks than desserts for an adult party. A big plus is that a decent range of decorating techniques are described to a greater or lesser extent.
A caveat for the buyer of this book (like every book on cake or cookie decorating I've seen) is that without additional pans, ingredients, and/or tools, you're stuck. I purchased three Wilton Round Brownie Pop Molds, and a bag of Wilton Dark Candy Cocoa Melts in order to make the "Fun-filled Pops." (pg 49) The directions underestimated the number of brownies produced, and overestimated the amount of chocolate to melt for the frosting. I particularly would have liked a hint on how to get no-stick baking spray into the mold without making a mess. Still, see my customer image for my first try.
Overall, a good source of ideas for decorative brownie treats, but some frosting experience, particularly using different decorating tips,will be required to make the results look "pretty."
Minor point: the ISBN of this book is 978-1-934089-14-9, even though Amazon's search won't find that.
