Cake Decorating for Dummies

bp

Hi all,

avid baker and although they are very tastey my presentation leaves a lot to be desired! I am trying to teach myself icing and decorating and was wondering if anyone could recommend a simple but good how to book for icing. I have looked them up online and there are loads but I would prefer hear from someone who knows and thinks a book is good.

Also interested in cake decorating classes in Dublin but it would have to be on a weekend and not too intense, this is just personal interest

Thanks in advance

I will check out that website, thanks

i know it's not the same but there are some brilliant tutorials on cake decoration on youtube. I use it alot for decorating cakes and buns i find watching someone do it is a bit more helpful
