Okay, I have little artistic talent but that hasn't seemed to stop me from considering making my daughter's baptismal cake. (well, to be honest, she has got allergies so there goes the bakery route...)The cake part I can do, but it's the decorating that will have me sweating bullets.

Can you recommend a good book? It doesn't have to be all frilly-flowery kind of baptismal cake decorating either as we're liberal-Christian-types..;)

At her NYC chocolate shop Stick With Me Sweets, Susanna Yoon (formerly of Per Se) makes edible miniature works of art. These colorful, marbleized, portable chocolate domes are packed with the flavors and textures of some of Susanna’s favorite desserts, which include a kalamansi meringue pie, and the vero, a silver blue bonbon that houses a mix of sea salt caramel and crunchy pecan bits. In the words of the chef, handcrafted chocolate is the sweetest way to tell somebody “stick with me”.
