Reviews
"A new kind of professional has now entered the food business: cakeologist. Well known in the U.K. for her fanciful creations with edible blooms (she counts Prince Harry, Kate Moss, and Sir Ian McKellen among her customers), Sear offers 30 wares to U.S. bakers. ... Sear, who's been highlighted in Martha Stewart Weddings, deserves a major 'hip!' for her accomplishments." --Booklist, starred review
