Just purchased Celebrate with Cake! by Lindy Smith. It is a step by step guid to creating 15 memorable cakes. For instance, butterflies, castle, roses Works alot with fondant etc. etc. but I just love it Check it out! It's $19.99 at Hobby Lobby but I used a coupon and got it cheaper. I think it is well worth the money! icon_smile.gifthumbs_up.gif

The Essential Guide to Cake Decorating is one of my favorites as well. (Check Borders, they have is considerably less than anywhere else I have seen) Also, Spectacular Cakes is another favorite of mine.

My mom just bought me these two books. Some really cute ideas. I've only skimmed through them and haven't tried anything in them yet. I like that they show how to form the figures out of fondant. (I really want to learn how do to that!). Not a bad price either. Here is the link:

Those books look great. You are causing me to buy more books!!! icon_smile.gif

The Essential Guide to Cake Decorting does not have an author on it. It just says, "Border's Exclusive" and I got it for $9.99!
