The Funny Bride Guide Review

The Funny Bride Guide
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As a male, I am totally ignorant of wedding etiquette. I have a sister-in-law who is to be married shortly, so I went looking for some assistance. Admittedly, I am intimidated by the whole affair so I wanted a book that would not add anymore pressure. I looked through several books, which not only further intimidated me, but reinforced the fact that I am completely out of my element. I was about to throw in the towel when I picked up The Funny Bride Guide. As frustrated as a wedding inept male can get, I began to laugh at the first page. I continued laughing through the day as I finished reading the book. I was so relieved and pleased I went and purchased another copy for my soon to be sister-in-law. She has thanked me non-stop for alleviating some stress with the use of The Funny Bride Guide. Thank you very much to the ladies who were so considerate of a man who only wants to do whats right with the least amount of pain. Kudos!

Planet Wedding: A Nuptialpedia Review

Planet Wedding: A Nuptialpedia
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I found this book at Barnes & Noble while looking for wedding planning books. It was a nice change, a nice wedding-related diversion from the mountains of wedding planning books that I've been wading through recently. This book is not a wedding planning book, but an encyclopedia (sort-of) of weddings around the world and throughout history. This book is chock full of information, pictures, and factoids. It is arranged in a way that makes it easy to read on a lazy afternoon and to find funny, interesting stories about wedding practices around the world. If you are the type of person that like to read the Guinness Book of World Records, or peruse Wikipedia for hours, (and really, who doesn't?) you will like this book. It gives me a laugh when I am knee deep in wedding preparations, and it also gets me in the mood to work on planning my own wedding.
By the way, while I was in Barnes & Noble, I pulled out my Amazon Price Check app on my android phone and did a scan of the barcode on this book to find out the price on Amazon. And it was $1.97! I guess there was some kind of overstock situation going on? I immediately ordered it on Amazon (why not?), and a brand new copy arrived. You can't beat that price!

A plethora of good tips! This books offers suggestions and answers to the many nagging yet necessary questions that need to be answered before the 'Big Day'. For example, at my last marriage (my second), I ripped my wedding dress waist high and if it hadn't been for this book, my maid of honor wouldn't have saved the day with the needle and thread she so cleverly hid in her bouquet. Anyway, this book is great!

I saw this item when I was trying to choose a wedding gift for my brother-in-law. I bought this for myself with only one reason---it's just so cute. I mean it can not be used as gift for others, yes that way you are not only saying the boy is a frog but also the girl is fat. I did not use it for salt or pepper, merely decoration.

Wilton Performance Pans Pillow Pan Set Review

Wilton Performance Pans Pillow Pan Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Well, I love the look of these pans and I knew I had to have them. When I made them however, I realized the amount of batter needed is waaayyy less than they state on the instructions. So the best thing to do is fill them 2/3 full. Take a measuring cup of water and measure how much you need to make it 2/3 full and then write that number in sharpie marker on the bottom of your pan. I also found that I needed to bake the small one 10 minutes longer and the medium 20 minutes longer. Disappointing. BUT, it looks very cool when finished so worth having for sure!

I needed this in a rush and ordered it here on Amazon.com. The bowl came quickly and served its purpose quite well. It is a no nonsense trifle bowl that I used for a raspberry tiramisu and it looked great. People were quite impressed with the presentation. The bowl could be fancier and have a lid, but all that is not necessary. The glass has a good and heavy feel to it as well.

For some reason I expected these cake pans to be heavier, but they are aluminum and very lightweight. They scratch relatively easily. The cakes baked up well and the variety of sizes was very helpful. Shipping was fast. I didn't use the special baking coil in the center of the 10", but it didn't matter, it baked up just fine. I didn't try out the 12" yet. It was very helpful to have the number of cups needed for each pan plainly described on the packaging.

I have been planning parties for years and do a lot with my family and wanted some new and fresh ideas. I was disappointed with this book. The ideas were unimagative and bland and I did not get one good idea from this book. If you are already creative person this book is not for you. Maybe it would be good for someone less creative. It made me think that I should write a book myself.

Creative Cookies: Delicious Decorating for Any Occasion Review

Creative Cookies: Delicious Decorating for Any Occasion
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
and I have purchased several. Even beginners can recreate Ms. Garrett's creations because of her detailed explanations and pictures. Outstanding recipes, especially for the glace' icing (much more preferable than royal icing, I think. Besides tasting great it also dries hard to the touch which is a plus when you need to stack the cookies). She gives very imaginative and classy ideas for baby showers, mothers day, heart designs, monograms...to name a few. She also gives suggestions for adding your own touches. I especially love her wedding cake cookies (which you can adapt for b'day or anniversary occasions) and her "get well" cookies (you can use any message to personalize it). She provides full size patterns from which to make templates but I hope she comes out with copper cookie cutters in these shapes.

A feast for the eyes as well as the palate, this collection from media favorite Toba Garrett is available again."The mouth-watering photos are enough to send you running to the store for baking equipment and ingredients...[these are] gorgeous works of art. A wealth of photographs and illustrations ensures that even novices will have success with their cookie-making marathons."--New York Daily News"Marvelous book...Superb photography shows the excellence of Ms. Garrett's work...A must for the cookie aficionado."--American Cake DecorationToba Garrett--master baker, critically lauded author, and recent guest on Emeril Live--has devised cookies so delectable and exquisitely decorated that home chefs will be searching for occasions to makemore. The simple recipes range from gingerbread to shortbread, from sugar cookies to chocolate. But what really makes these extra special are Garrett's clever techniques for turning the cookies into works of art that delight the eye as much as they please the palate. There are ruffled bibs in soft pastel hues for a baby shower, a white chocolate rose with eight petals, and a 3D bride and groom for wedding and anniversary celebrations. Anyone can create these effects with confidence thanks to the author's clarity and creativity..

"LOVE" Plates Set Review

LOVE Plates Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought these plates to use on our cake table at our wedding as an alternative to spelling out "I Do" or "Love" in regular letters. The plates are beautiful, solid ceramic. They are smaller than they appear in the pictures, though. The L, for example, measures about 4.5 inches across. M&Ms or peanuts would fit fine in them, but they are more for show than function.
That being said, they are perfect for a little detail touch when entertaining!

Groomology: What Every (Smart) Groom Needs to Know Before the Wedding Review

Groomology: What Every (Smart) Groom Needs to Know Before the Wedding
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I really got a huge kick out of this book. And so did my fiancée. It has some really useful information. It's funny. But it's also real good spirited. Any engaged guy would benefit from this. I went to a bookstore with my fiancée and lounged around in the wedding books section. Most of the books that were there were written for/from the female perspective, and therefore did not motivate me to purchase or read the book. The other books for men were more about etiquette and what to expect. Then I ran across this one. I figured... oh no, it's another idiots guide or for dummies books... but then I realized that it wasn't. So I picked it up and read parts of it. Right off, I could tell that from the sense of humor of the author, that at the very least if it didn't offer me new information, since I have never been married before, it would at least keep me entertained.
So I purchased it. And I started reading it instead of a newspaper during some private time. It offered some helpful advice. It told me what to expect. And it made me laugh. What else could I ask for. I highly recommend getting this book because it does help me feel more informed about what to expect, and I don't have to carry around some frilly Martha Stewart-like book. The publisher and author understand that there is a niche for wedding books for men... that guide, offer advice, and entertain at the same time. If you are one of those football loving, bud light beer commercial watching, 20 something, 30 something, and even 40 something men, who has never been married before, then this is the book for you.
