As Alison said trying to organise something for next week..but if you cant wait that long..I found for me for the basics in everything from recipes to runout (i hate them) to modelling and sugar flowers the books I would start with are The international school of sugarcraft book 1 and more advanced book two by margaret ford and Nicolas Lodage..very good....Also I find and still do...for I subscribe to it is the squires kitchen sugar craft magazine which comes out 4 times a year at £4.99 fab..coverd all different bits and pieces......bought it for years.....you can subscribe on the internet go onto their site and order it and they deliver to your door..Alison might even dtock then ...check it our..
Hope that helps

Oh Brenda
In Alison Ebay shop there is a book which is being bid on at the mo called floral designs for cakes...very good lots of different flowers inthat..I have made the cake on the front cover it looked fab...I have had this book now for about 12 years...once you have them you cant be without them.......
Try and get it if you can..also Alan Dunn and Nicolas Lodge both fab in sugar flowers anything by them will do really nicely..
hope that helps
