Take the Wilton classes you learn so much there I did not know anything about icing a cake and I am still learning and the classes are very informative. Get ready to spend some serious money!!
I would suggest Wilton Courses as well. If you have a friend and a Michaels Crafts nearby they are having a special Bring a friend for free in September. October is buy the kit and get the class for free and November and dec are 1/2 price. These are so great specails to start your new hobby.
Definitely take the Wilton classes at Michaels! I am currently in the middle of course 2 and I absolutiely love it! By taking the courses you will get the basics in a fun class atmosphere and you will be able to determine if this is really for you before investing in a lot of stuff. Enjoy!
If you aren't able to get into a class right away...I would suggest:
Buying their yearbook along with the supplies for the first class. (you get a discount if this is done after you sign up for a class, a 10% one I think).
The middle section of the yearbook has a whole bunch of tips...not to mention the course 1 manual. You might try playing around a little bit.
Good luck and I hope you have fun 
Miah
