"Jacqueline’s clean, modern style is represented on every single page. Her thorough, meticulous process is carefully laid out for every single flower, with clear, easy to understand instructions... I especially enjoyed reading some of the personal notes she shares. Oh, and of course she includes the recipe she uses for sugar paste.One especially noteworthy reason to buy this book is to learn about Jacqueline’s signature 'formula' for flower design. It’s what makes her flowers so recognizable..." Erica OBrien Cake Design
