The book provides in-depth information and discusses what you need toget started in the chapter on "Equipment and Materials," and thoughtfully provides a listing of Suppliers on where to purchase specialty materials and equipment at the back of the book.
The chapter entitled, "Recipes," provides essential recipes including how to make "cold porcelain," "royal icing," and "flowerpaste," and I found the chapter on "Techniques" to be especially helpful as it not only provides experttips, it always explains "the how" and "the why."
