However, you can find the cookie recipe--along with a link to the icing--posted on the blog last month. <br /><br />If you're looking to turn out cute cakes and cupcakes, I suggest you buy, borrow, or go to your local library and request these books:<br /><br />For cake and cupcakes, I recommend both of Rose's two books <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0688044026?ie=UTF8&tag=nosohupi-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0688044026" rel="nofollow">The Cake Bible</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0471781738?ie=UTF8&tag=nosohupi-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0471781738" rel="nofollow">Rose's Heavenly Cakes</a>. Take Rose's red velvet and modify it with a pink coloring and some bakery raspberry flavoring, you've got a pink cupcake with a fruity-vanilla flavor. <br /><br />For styling and working with fondant, Confetti Cakes is a great book. Though I urge caution with using their recipes (at least with the current edition, there are many errors). <br /><br />Other good books: Martha's <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0307460444?ie=UTF8&tag=nosohupi-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0307460444" rel="nofollow">Cupcakes</a> for classic cupcake styling and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0618829253?ie=UTF8&tag=nosohupi-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0618829253" rel="nofollow">Hello, Cupcake</a> for some really fun designs.Ms. Humblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06960224421093634330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434548298509198554.post-26528065700380958402010-09-02T04:42:35.985-07:002010-09-02T04:42:35.985-07:00beautiful!beautiful!bridgetwhoplaysfrenchhornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00944714770867649886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434548298509198554.post-17411455863703845382010-09-01T18:30:15.932-07:002010-09-01T18:30:15.932-07:00oh everything looks soo pretty. we are planning a ...oh everything looks soo pretty. we are planning a baby shower for one of our co-workers and would love any of these recipes!

Then folks can either eat around it or remove it. <br /><br />I also leave it because there is occasionally a person at the gathering who actually likes to eat fondant. Far be it for me to deprive someone of their ultimate sugar rush. <br /><br />Kristen,<br /><br />Good to hear it!Ms. Humblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06960224421093634330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434548298509198554.post-41341893776855073812010-08-29T08:56:16.213-07:002010-08-29T08:56:16.213-07:00These ALL tasted AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
