  • Your video showed cake layers similar to ones achieved by most people- imperfect and slightly broken from here n there. This is one of the few videos actually showing the realistic stuff rather than better than perfect stuff which is so hard to achieve for beginners.

    Hi, just wanted to say thank you for what you do. You are by far the best teacher I’ve come across for cakes and decorating. I especially love how you explain in detail and frequently modify your techniques so that anyone, at any skill level, can join in the fun. New subscriber here, much love 🤍
