re: Which Alan Dunn book?

I have two of his books. I have “Sugarcraft Flower Arranging” and “Tropical & Exotic Flowers for Cakes”. I think it would depend on what flowers you think you will make more often. I would suggest that you check your local library to see if they have his books. Take a look at what’s in each one and then decide. There is one that I really like but I can’t remember which one it was but whenever I want it I just borrow it from the library. By the way, out of the two I have I have made more flowers from the Sugarcraft one. My mother-in-law’s birthday cake was decorated with flowers from that book (most of them without cutter using the templates in the back of the book).
