I just started my first class in cake decorating at Michael's last wednesday, i love this site, hope to learn more here. I teach bread making and owns a bakery in my country Philippines and i just recently arrived here to take classes in cake decorating, hopefully bring the skills back with me in the future.

Hi Everyone. Glad to know others like me who have never taken a class. I would love to trade ideas and learn from others too.

Hi! I have taken all of the Wilton classes but the rest of the cake decorating I have taught myself through books and online like Cake Central and this website.

Hey Everyone! My name is Tina and I am from Brooklyn. I think learning cake decorating over the computer and from books is absolutely the best way to go. Its free!!, anything I want to learn is right at my fingertips I am so glad I decided to teach myself! This website is loaded with info, I am so happy I found it!

Hi, my name is Julie. I got started working in a wholesale bakery (cakes on an assembly line- boring); and that taught me just how to ice a sheet and round, shell border, and buttercream roses. Everything else I learned from books, experimentation, and for the last year or so the internet. Normally I only get to do a handful of cakes a year (maybe 2-6) but I'm trying to keep my momentum going so I can keep improving my skills.

Just curious as to what books or dvds everyone has found the most useful/inspiring. My personal favorites are the Whimsical Bakehouse books (though I don't have the kids yet); Colette Peters Birthday Cakes (cakes to dream on is still on the wish list); Martha Stewart's Wedding cake book, Rose levy-bernbaum's The Cake Bible, and Margaret Braun's Cakewalk (that's just inspiration for now- I'm still not sure I could pull those off).

Does anyone know of more detailed books on gumpaste figures that would deal with more intricate figures, and wire supports? I can't find anything besides more basic figures, usually sitting down
