Cake Decorating Books

Here are a few of my favorite cake decorating books. 

• The Whimsical Bakehouse: Fun-to-Make Cakes That Taste as Good as They Look! This is one of the few books that I actually had to buy immediately because of all the amazingly clever techniques for utterly adorable cakes. The recipes are truly delicious, also. Try the oreo cookie filling -- I make it just about every year!
• Kate's Cake Decorating: Techniques and Tips for Fun and Fancy Cakes Baked with Love. Another wonderful book with splendid techniques. Very innovative ideas and super cute cakes.
• The Essential Guide to Cake Decorating. Lots of great techniques from piping to molding sugarpaste. Chock full of great step to step instructions.
