A feast for the eyes. You'll not find a more beautiful baking book. Blooming marvellous! Fearne Cotton

I'm not sure yet which is more impressive, Juliet's decorating skills or how good her cakes taste. --Buddy Valastro of Cake Boss Juliet has been my go-to girl for all my celebration cakes for many years. She gets the balance of skill, flavour, texture and decoration just right every time. --Gizzi Erskine Juliet knocked up the most mind-blowing birthday cake for my 30th! It wasn't just a cake but a piece of art! Too good to eat? Sure... But we still tucked in and my God it tasted as good as it looked! --Fearne Cotton Some cakes boast that they are 'exceedingly good.' Well, Juliet's cakes look good, taste even better and are among the best I've ever enjoyed eating. --Sir Ian McKellen Cake? That's like saying Concorde was a plane! Juliet does delicious art. The most beautiful, yummiest cakes I've ever seen or tasted. --Sir Bob Geldof
