I love watching those shows like Ace of Cakes and Cake Boss, but haven't had the faintest idea where to start with decorating a cake myself.  This book does a great job of getting someone like me started on basic cake decorating.  There are lists of tools and supplies with descriptions of what each thing is and what it does, and detailed explanations of how to tackle basic techniques.  While it's mostly focused on beginners, there's information about more advanced techniques and how to progress from beginner to intermediate to advanced.  The book focuses mainly on techniques, not recipes, but there are a small number of recipes for basic cake flavors and frosting.  If you're looking to get into cake decorating, this is a great resource to help you on your way.  I can't wait to get started myself.
