Review from The British Sugarcraft Guild
I purchased this book thinking it was similar to the 20 things to make series. How wrong was I - this book is so much bigger. The book is a step by step guide to creating realistic animals rather than cartoony ones. The contents include pig, kangaroo and joey, elephant & rhino plus many more (they are just my favourite ones). The start of the book shows you different techniques for creating textures for animal skins. There are tons of photographs to ensure that you get each step correct along with templates to copy so you get the correct shapes. I also love the way that some of the animals are built up. I won't give it away as you will have to get the book to see that - but I would never have thought to do it like that.(http://twinplums-cakesbysarah.blogspot.com/)
