Finally made it to my local Borders today (they are going out of business) and scored 7, yes 7! Baking/decorating/cooking books at 40% off! I got:

Cake Decorator's Motif Bible, by Sheila Lampkin - quick reference book for making cutsie common fondant decorations like animals, flowers and stuff. Looks perfect for cupcake toppers or cutsie cakes like baby showers.

Martha's Cooking School - Love her or hate her, she knows how to hire people to write great cook books.

Spectacular Cakes, by Mich Turner - OMG I love this book, I want to work more with royal icing making old-fashioned designs more modern, and this book is FULL of ideas. In fact I'll be making a cake out of it for a client next weekend that just wanted something colorful - and boy does this book have it! It also has a recipe for chocolate plastic, which I've never heard of and can't wait to try.

Sugar Roses for Cakes, by Peck/Dunn/Warren - Yeah, I have the Wilton gumpaste flower book - but this is full of high-end flower designs with full-color step-by-step instructions on how to make them along with templates etc. So excited about this one since I don't push my gumpaste work because I don't like the "Wilton Flower" look.

Last few were how to make baby food (I has a baby in my belly), a BBQ book for the hubbie and wine/food pairing book.

Anyway, was super excited, though I'd share, and tell you all to get to Borders if you have one in your area!

Oh, nuts, all these books are on my wish list at Amazon. Wish I were going to the States sometime soon so I could take advantage of this sale, although I hate like sin that Borders is going out of business.
