Fun & Original Cakes for Men & Boys Paperback – March 5, 2012

Masie Parrish has written yet another book on gumpaste figures and scenes. This one is geared towards the males in your life. I have worked through all of the projects learning the basics and going from there to develop a style of my own.The only problem I have had is Masie uses spaghetti to attach her body pieces together, and I live in an extremely humid climate and the spaghetti dissolves which leaves the body parts no support and they fall off. I changed this method for this climate by using toothpicks or floral wires, which I use for gumpaste flowers on my projects.Its a fun book, a good learning tool on figures. But, make sure you have the time and patience before you start on one of these creations.

This isn't my favorite book of hers only because some of the designs i likely won't make. i would buy the one designed for children's cakes if this is your first book of hers...this one i would add to my list later down the line. So if you have to chose only one, take the child one first then add this one later. Definitely worth getting though.

Arrived promptly and as described

Full of achievable ideas, very clear instructions and lots of fun. Several ideas that I want to try straight away

If you have already have some other Maisie Parish's cake book, you probably don't need this one. But for those that havem't got one of her collections, this is still worth collecting.

OK, I was thinking there would be more, but the instructions seem detailed enough.

Excellent step by step instructions

Good tips.

Only just received the book.In good condition. Easy to follow

Haven't had a chance to try this out as of yet, but with fathers day coming up soon, I'm sure i'll find something out of it to make. Had a quick look through it, simple step by step instructions, so I'd say it's especially good for beginners!

I received the book yesterday and spent a great deal of time reading through it, there is so much scope to adapt what is shown, a really good book both to copy the cakes but as reference for your own designs, very easy to follow.

Lots of fun characters to make

An ideal cake book for people who want to go to the next level in cake decoration. The instructions and diagrams are very easy to follow producing great results.
