What book do you think is the best to help someone learn more about cookie decorating? I do not own any and I did do alot of cookies last year,but I only used MMF. I would love to learn more with the royal icing, stamping,painting,etc.

Thanks Pearl

I think that "Cookie Sensations" by Meaghan Mountford has some cute ideas also. There is a good tutorial on color choice and mix & match .

I really, really, like Autumn Carpenter's books! Great ideas, easy to understand...and she's a super nice person to boot. I met her briefly at the ICES in Omaha, and was very impressed. I wanted to ask her to autograph her books for me, but was too chicken. I didn't want to bother her. Sigh. I wish I had asked!

You should have asked!! I met her a couple years ago and she signed ALL my books by her!! She's a very sweet lady. As a matter of fact I had a cookie class with her and I ended up modeling the cookie class that I teach after hers because she taught so much in such a short amount of time with "no student left behind"!
