| The Cake Bible by Rose Levy Beranbaum is a mainstay for many. I turn to her tome for many fundamentals and a bit of inspiration. You might want to do a site search and comb through some old posts. I believe there was a discussion some time ago about baking books. Good luck... and happy collection building!!

| I'm a "anything to do with baking" collector. I'm so excited because this week I finally set up my collection. I had everything jammed into a couple old cases.....but I just recieved three beautiful cherry book cases from my Hubby this week. It's so auesome to see everything together at last. O.k. sorry (I just had to mention that, I'm so excited) I'll focus........ Books on cake baking alone is a hard area to collect. There's not much at the stores. The books I have on the topic tend to be older. Most of mine I've found thru flea markets and second hand book store searches.
