" I have sent a photo of the first cake I made from your Let’s Celebrate book and the three scaled down versions as I love 1/12th miniatures. Many thanks."
- Janet T., Owner of the original Beaded Cakes book
"I was asked by my husband if it was possible to make some beaded cakes as a birthday present for his daughter in law, as she has opened a cafe with cakes as her speciality. When I did a search I discovered Katie Dean's wonderful creations. Her patterns are delightful and when I read through them it was as if she is sitting beside me having a conversation."
