I'm just beginning cake decorating, and I'd like to know which book(s) are best for beginners. I'm a very visual person, so I prefer books with more pictures, but in your experience, which was your favorite book? Oh, and I'm also looking for a good starter kit for decorating, is the Wilton Decorating Kit any good? TIA :)

AThe Wilton yearbooks have step by step directions and pictures.

Actually, I had a dream last night about cakes. I thought it was pretty pathetic, but I'm sure I'm not the only one! ;) Thank you for the advice :)

Hi,

I agree with Remnant3333 that youtube would be your best friend especially if you are a visual person of which you can grasp things easily.

Its amazing how we are so lucky to be in the age of Technology and have an abudance of free resources at our disposal.

The only thing you would need to do is to put in the time to watch n learn... :o)

One of my favorite cake decorating books is "The Complete Photo Guide to Cake Decorating" by Autumn Carpenter.  I got mine on Amazon for $14.  She goes into alot of detail on many topics and the photos are awesome.  I could look at this book for hours! 

Also ... one of the best investments I have made is joining My Cake School.com.  It is $30 for a year ($2.50/month!!) and there are tons of videos and helpful hints.  I have learned so much in the three months since I joined.

This is very helpful, thanks Terri :)
