Dear Helen, we all browsed through your beautiful book and were quite in awe of your talent!
What an achievement! Well done. Love Sue, Oct. 2011

To Dear Helen, what an incredible treat it was to receive your beautiful book. How kind of you to donate a copy to us, your work is quite superb and the book so special. I can't wait to share it with the girls of '81 on Saturday. Thanks again for your generous gift, we will look after it and share it with many.
All the best and kind regards, Koo,

Hi Helen, the book arrived yesterday and it was definitely worth the wait! A stunning book which will be ‘up there’ in my huge prized collection. The work is exactly what I am into and I think the thing has been beautifully photographed and written. Are you planning any more titles in the future? Best wishes, Jenni ~  June 2011

Hi Helen, I have been meaning to contact you for so long to let you know how wonderful your “Floral Art” book is. I have spent many hours just taking in all the beautiful work you have both produced, it really is amazing. I requested the book for my birthday & as it arrived early it was very hard to leave it wrapped until the “official” day! Which probably wasn’t such a good idea as I became quite ant-social as I poured over the fantastic creations! Thank you both for such a beautiful, practical, well explained book on a great passion of mine. Norelle Slater ~  04 March 2011

Hi Helen, CONGRATS on the book it is just beautiful and breathtaking. No doubt we will be ordering a lot more very soon. Helen Hockings ~ Cake Bitz, Southport.

Hi Helen, I love your book SUGAR ART CREATIONS, FLORAL ART. My congratulations to you and to Gill Pope. Most beautiful photographs of cakes and flowers, very easy to follow instructions. I have a number of cake decorating books and yours is the winner. I haven't done much serious cake decorating for years, now my son is getting married possibly the end of the year so I'm practising for their wedding cake and your book is such a help. thank you both so much kind regards Lorraine Freer ~ 03 March 2011

Hi Helen, I do not know you personally but rate you to my students as being one of the best flower making books I have read, amazing photos and great detailed instructions." Jackie Thompson ~ February 2011

I've been sharing your book with friends, they all agree your work is amazing. My favourite cake is "Elegant" but the entire book is really a work of art. Angie Lair ~ 17. September 2010

Dear Gill, thank you for sending me the book. It is superb. Kind Regards Sanli Albertze, Personal Assistant, WSP Structures Africa Pty Ltd ~ 21. September 2010

Dear Gill, just a short note to let you know that I watched your demo (with Noel) at Bryanston Country Club. I also bought your book AND must tell you that I was blown away by the quality of your cakes in the book. The photography is outstanding. The length to which you both go in describing exactly what is required and how you accomplish each finished exhibit is truly brilliant. A great pat on the back to both you and Helen and I really must say it is one of the most complete and professional books I have seen in a very long time! Congratulations. You deserve a lot of praise and I really hope you get it. Regards, Gail du Plooy, Vice Chairlady, West Rand Golden Clouds, SACDG ~ 26. August 2010

"Congrats Helen on a wonderful book... It is a well needed SA decorating book and so loved by all. I have had such wonderful feedback. Start working on the next one..." Belinda Kretzmann ~ 26. August 2010

Hello Helen, how are you? Just want to congratulate you on an amazing book, it is absolutely breathtaking. Love Kelly ~ 24. August 2010

Hullo Gill WOW! the courier just delivered the book! Karen and I tore open the packaging and are thrilled to see it! well done it is super.... what a huge body of work! I cannot believe that the exquisite flowers and everything is made of sugar! Pictures and cakes recipes and all are gorgeous.... You can be very pleased with your achievement. I am proud of you! WELL DONE! Good job bokkie! love Jen, Jenny Hermans Cape Town South Africa ~ August 2010

Hi Helen, many thanks for the book. It is absolutely spectacular. I am so proud of you. I am punting it to all our friends and the patients. I still remember all the hard work and the exams you did while you were working with me in the practice. With your talent, it sure has paid off. Many thanks for including me in the acknowledgments. I really appreciate it. Wish you great success and look forward to the follow up. Mervyn ~ August 2010

Hi Helen, just wanted to say thank you for the book. I've only flicked through it briefly (so far!) but loved it. My goodness you're clever gals! It really is beautifully put together and a joy to look at. Thank you too for the message in the front, just perfect. Take care, Jo ~ 23. August 2010

Hi Gill, WOW your book is SUPER. I knew it would be good, but you guys have really out done yourselves. You can hold you heads up high among those international authors, not only is it of great quality, one of the best I've seen (and I know I have over 150 cake decorating books), but it's definitely the best in workmanship and layout, it's great that the templates of the flowers are with the flowers and not at the back of the book where you have to page back and forth to see if it the right templates. A hearty congratulations to you both, I'm very proud of you. Regards Joyce ~ 10. August 2010

Hi Gill, just a short email to say congrats on the book - it is stunning. A remarkable achievement and worth a place on every serious cake decorators book shelf. Love, Fiona ~ 10. August 2010

Hi Gill, what a lovely book! Really, again HUGH CONGRATULATIONS!! What's nice about it also are the tips and recipes etc. at the end. GREAT! WELL DONE!! Kindest Regards, Ivy ~ 06 August 2010

Hi Helen, I got your new book today. CONGRATULATIONS to you and Gill. Your book is amazing. One of the best I have ever seen. Can't wait to get my own copy in September. I think you will sell heaps. I certainly will be talking it up. Well done to you and Gill.
 Love ~ Bette-Anne

Hi Helen, Started reading your book and finally turned the light out at 1.30 this morning!!. Its all that and more, contemporary, modern, a touch of the old, informative, easy to read and follow instructions, wonderful assortment of flowers and the royal icing looks so easy to do. Love how the cutters are on the same page as the design so easy to look up instead of flipping to the back and trying to work out what cutter is what, love love the colour range.
A nice weight in your hand and an all round lovely book that I am more than proud and happy to add to my library. Congratulations ~ Bev.

The book is fantastic. You should be very proud. Currently taking pride of place on my coffee table where it is very accessible. It is far too nice to put away with my collection. Joan

Hello Helen, I am really proud with your achievement...you come out with a new book for Australia after many years waiting new book in Australian cake decorating arena.... Shahril
