Editorial Reviews: Product Description Elaborately decorated cookies fill the shelves of high-end bakery cases, tempting shoppers with bright colors and whimsical shapes. The cookies are beautiful, but buying them in a bakery can be shockingly expensive, and their flavor often doesn’t live up to their appearance. Now home bakers can have their pretty cookies and enjoy eating them too! Thanks to the clear instructions and practical methods developed by authors Valerie Peterson and Janice Fryer, amateur cookie crafters can achieve bakery-quality design and homemade fresh taste. Cookie Craft gives readers access to the entire world of decorated cookies, beginning with an inspirational gallery of 150 colorful cookies guaranteed to start those creative juices flowing. The authors go on to discuss ingredients, supplies, equipment and technique. They include four delicious recipes for rolled cookie doughs (Traditional Sugar, Chocolate, Nutty, and Gingerbread) that provide perfect blank canvases for decorating, and, of course, their recipe for versatile Royal Icing. In the most important section, they share the design techniques accumulated and perfected during hundreds of afternoons spent crafting thousands of cookies. Cookie crafters will learn how to pipe, flood, and sugar their cookies, how to design color palettes that work with every season, how to make cookies stand up in fun 3-D structures, and much more!

I found myself looking for a lot of the cutters shown in the book to experiment with colors and shapes. Based on the instructions in this book you will be quite pleased with the results. A great addition to your baking November 28, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful This book is a great addition to your cookie making arsenal. Step by step decoration instructions, as well as recipes and assorted tips for handling and working withe cookies. A HUGE PLUS TWO THUMBS UP for the rolling out of the cookie dough with no flour walk-thru. I love this book and would highly recommend it for the person who wants to take their cookie decorating to the next level. great book for beginners November 22, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I am a pretty decent cook but NOT a baker -- I have never used a piping bag before nor have I ever made icing. Under a fit of curiousity and inspiration, I bought this book a few weeks ago and LOVE it! After reading the book and purchasing some suggested supplies, I did one test run of cookies and then a few days later made leaf and pumpkin cookies for my daughter's entire class. They loved them and they looked fabulous. The authors make cookie making and decorating as simple or complex as you would like for it to be. My designs looked a lot more complex than they were, thanks to the authors of this book who made it easy to get started. Couldn't recommend a better book for beginners, and the more complex designs (like a standing cookie sled centerpiece!) will challenge and inspire those who have been decorating for years. Since I'm a visual learner, the only negative is that I would have liked for the authors to provide a picture depecting the consistency of flood and piping icing, instead of a written description. However, I easily found pics online that answered my question. A to Z information!! November 9, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful I had been looking for a book that would cover everything that I'd needed to know in decorating cookies. Well, this is the book!!!! Excellent...with easy steps from A to Z. Realistic in detail, great format and very motivational. A must have if you love your cookies! Comprehensive and easy to follow November 8, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful This book is for people who like to get really obsessive with their cookies. While it provides an excellent review of the basics of baking cut-out cookies (including recipes), the best part of this book is the discussion of many permutations on the basic outline & flood technique of icing cookies. It's easy to do, and once you get the hang of it, you'll have fun with all the variations (e.g. flood-on-flood details, flooding over piping for texture, using toothpicks to marble colors). The book also addresses the use of sugars (both pre- and post-baking), imprinting, stencils, and use of other decorations (nuts, candies, fondant, etc.). Even if you're experienced with cookie decorating, you'll likely pick up a ton of new ideas, tricks, and tips. The book itself is very well-organized; the layout and photography are lovely and diagrams are included where appropriate.
