Would you prefer a recipe book? Or a decorating book? A cookie book?

I like "Celebrate with a Cake" by Lindy Smith. It has cake recipes and step-by-step instructions. Most of the cakes are covered with fondant. YUM!

Thank you everyone!!

I forgot to mention that I'm just a beginner and am interested in any book to do with decorating, baking cakes and such.

Thanks cake4you I forgot all about that website. I love how they have a picture of the book and then the direct link to amazon that is wayyyy too convenient! What a wonderful idea!

Now I will have to figure out which one I'm going to buy!

Thanks for all of your help!!
