Anything by Collette Peters. Hands down the best.

You can also become a member of the website listed below - it is for cake decorators.

Hope you go to school at the Culinary Institute of America! My husband is a graduate of there. It is the best chef school in the world

Always check the Wilton Cake Decorating Books, they are a great source of information. Try also to get past copies of the annuals.
