He’s been called a “Sugarcrafter superstar” by Library Journal, and for good reason. One of the world’s leading sugar flower artists, Alan Dunn is the author of more than a dozen authoritative sugar crafting books, including Alan Dunn's Celebration Cakes, Alan Dunn's Ultimate Collection of Cake Decorating, Alan Dunn's Tropical & Exotic Flowers for Cakes, and more. An accredited demonstrator for The British Sugarcraft Guild, he teaches and demonstrates his artistry across Europe, the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Brazil, Japan, and South Africa.
Alan Dunn’s anticipated ninth book, Celebration Cakes, is an
incredibly practical and comprehensive guide to the enticing world
of sugarcraft. The book’s straightforward layout is paired with
step-by-step flower tutorials that are oh so easy to follow. To
compliment Dunn’s accessible floral creations, the book is filled
with high quality photos that are as instructional as they are
elegant. Dunn’s book stands apart because of the way he has
consolidated a wide variety of diverse flower tutorials. We tried
out the “Purple chili peppers” tutorial on page 58, and found the
material and equipment lists (as well as Dunn’s instructions) to be
clear and manageable. It seems that Dunn has truly thought of
everything. For example, if you aren’t sure where to buy a specific
product listed in the book, he has thoughtfully provided a list of
suppliers in the back for easy reference. Yet another bonus is the
inclusion of a photo gallery of flower bouquets. In these photos,
Dunn has cleverly taken individual pieces from the flower tutorials
in the book and placed them into larger arrangements for
inspiration. We think Celebration Cakes is definitely worth
celebrating, and if you love Dunn’s other books you will not be
disappointed.
