October 10, 2009: This really is a great book for beginning cake decorators. It explains the decorating tools and what you should have in your beginning tool kit. It also gives several great recipes for from-scratch cakes or frosting/fondant. I use this book every time I bake a cake now.
I Also Recommend: Pink Princess Cookbook.
