Odds are even if you have a good friend that is in the very same business they won't tell you all you have to know, for the simple reason that they may be apprehensive you'll take some of their business. It's best to purchase a resource which shows you precisely what to do and what procedures to use to make your cakes. You'll be decorating cakes in no time.
