When I began decorating cakes professional - Toba Garret became my idol. Her knowledge of the Lambeth method was brought to her, but her recipes kept me. I am addicted to her Chocolate Fudge cake and it became my luxury chocolate cake recipe for brides. (My tip, use Callebaut chocolate - nothing less.)I re-bought this book because my ex kept all my cookbooks, but then the daughter of a friend is decorating cakes while her father is stationed in Korea, and I bought it for her too. This book is amazing and is valuable for anyone interested in technique.
