This is the big one — the full-color Wilton encyclopedia that serious cake decorators were hunting for in the 1970s and still look for today. Volume Two covers international decorating methods from the Philippines, England, Australia, South Africa, and Mexico, plus gum paste flowers and figures, pulled sugar, piped flowers for all fifty states, 23 varieties of roses, fine candy making, and a full index. The dust jacket has significant wear, but the book itself is solid, fully legible, and complete at all 328 pages.
