LoCicero Joe. Cake Decorating For Dummies

Hoboken: Wiley Publishing, 2007. — 385 p.This book shares the basics and beyond necessary to bake, frost, fill, and decorate a variety of cakes. Because I cover varying degrees of difficulty, this book truly is accessible to all. Each cake commands different skills for all the activities that complete the cake’s look: mixing up batters, whipping up frostings and fillings, modeling frosting roses or marzipan iniatures, getting desired results from assorted icing tips, handling frosting-filled pastry bags, and selecting the perfect embellishments to be eaten or just simply marveled at. But ultimately, the beauty of cake decorating is that it can be
very simple and elegant or extraordinary and detailed.
