This is an inspirational book. It is inspirational from an artistic perspective and from a baking perspective. I am looking forward to trying out many of the recipes. I hope with the step-by-step guidance of author Juliet Sear I will soon be creating pretty edible decorations for all my family’s celebrations.
The first part of this book provides an alphabetized list of the edible botanicals used in the cake decorations. Names, photos, taste and best uses are covered. The second part of this book provides methods to incorporate botanicals into your kitchen repertoire. The third part of this book presents delectable sweet treat recipes and decorating tips.

I was fascinated by this book as I find the idea of using flower for food really fascinating.
I appreciated the explanations, the clear recipes and the amazing pictures.
This book is really useful if you want to cook using flowers.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

'Botanical Baking' had me flipping the pages, just looking at all the wonderful cakes and desserts before i went back to the beginning. I was left thinking 'how could i eat them, as i wouldn't want to spoil them?' I have never seen such a book before! I do enjoy cake making and when i next have company, i hope to surprise them with one of these beautiful creations. Don't even ask me which one, as they all look so pretty. I do have some of the flowers growing in my garden, which would be useful. Highly recommended.

My thanks to Netgalley and the Publishers for my copy. This is my honest review.
