Wilton 2011 Yearbook

My daughter says she likes the book and it arrived in good condition. Lots of cute ideas in the book.

This book is filled with excellent ideas and lots of photos to help you make cakes that steal the show. I bought this book because of the jungle theme and was pleasantly surprized by the other ideas included. It tells you what tools are needed for each cake design featured.

I purchased a few of the older (2011 and 2012 and a 2009) yearbooks and like another reviewer, found that most of the designs are for fondant. I'm new to cake decorating and haven't had Wilton course 4 yet. I'd like to make some easier cakes just using the basics. I also noticed that the back portion of the books have the same information on tips and etc. I would like to think that Wilton could do a better job. I don't think I'll purchase the 2013 yearbook. Guess I'll have to look it over at Walmart before I spend the dollars.

great gift for my niece who is starting out with baking and decorating cakes

My last Wilton yearbook is from 1992. I bought this 2011 version because I wanted to see some new ideas. I'm very disappointed with this version. Almost all of the cake decorating ideas involve either cake pans that are shaped like cars or animals and colored in with little stars; or the regular cakes that are made in regular pans but are all decorated with rolled fondant booth covering the cakes and used as cut outs for flowers and shapes (as shown on the cover). This is not the type of cake decorating I was expecting, at least not exclusively. There is a big difference between piping out shapes, lines and designs with icing and using edible play dough and sticking your creation on a cake. I would have thought there would be more than 3 or 4 regular icing cake decorating ideas. Why do they even bother selling decorating tips and turn tables? I just purchased a turn table and a set of devices that make designs on the sides of the cake, a cake that is decorated with regular icing. Come on Wilton, did you run out of ideas for using frosting tips? I wish I could have flipped through the book before I bought it. If anyone knows which of the books between 1992 and now that have more cakes decorated with icing please let me know. Since I already have all of the recipes in my 1992 version and there are only 3 or 4 decorating ideas that I can use, I basically I paid $13 for a catalog showing all of the accessories and pans that they sell.

Love the old books

I bought this and the 2012 a the same time, only to realise half the book has the same info. It's more a catalog than a book of ideas. It does have some picture but it is basically the same as the 2012 year. It has a couple of recipes, but the are the same on both the yearbooks.I bought it because I wanted to learn how to make things with a step-by-step guide. It is not that.

I have only had time to thumb through it, but liked what I saw. Purchased through Amazaon and book was as described and shipped very expeditiously .
