It's the little things that create professional results.
Over the years, some of the biggest improvements I've made haven't come from complicated decorating techniques. They've come from getting the basics absolutely right.
Choosing great strawberries. Preparing them properly. Managing moisture. Working efficiently. Dipping cleanly. Understanding chocolate consistency. And knowing when enough decoration is enough.
That's why I created How to Decorate.
I want to show you the process I use from the strawberry itself right through to the finished product and help you understand the small details that can make an enormous difference.
Here's what's included:
- Selecting the best strawberries
- Washing and drying correctly
- Understanding moisture
- Sweating and condensation
- Preparing your workspace
- Skewering correctly
- My dipping process
- Chocolate consistency
- Setting your strawberries
- Colouring and decorating
- Clean finishing techniques
- Creating consistency across an order
- Presentation
- Common mistakes and troubleshooting
The book moves from strawberry selection and preparation right through to dipping, decorating, presentation and problem solving.
Who is it for?
If you've ever looked at somebody else's strawberries and wondered...
"Why don't mine quite look like that?"
...this book is for you.
Professional-looking results are often much more achievable than you think.

From me to you
Don't chase perfection.
Chase consistency.
Once your preparation and process become consistent, you'll be amazed at how quickly the finished product improves.
