Yeah, this video is so action packed, I really think they should put in in the NEW RELEASES section of the Video Store . Two thumbs up!!!!!!

I can see you Debbie doing the cha cha! I agree with you, I highly recommended it also. Sharon put together a very well made dvd, with great info, tips & demonstrations.

To think it can all be done with most things we already have, I love that idea, DH loves that idea also, saves money

God Bless,
Sharon

Well, dang...I opened a thread about Youtube videos, and I ended up buying a dvd ! I absolutely love Sharon's BC recipe (as does my family), so I definitely felt like I needed to learn more from the Goddess of Icing! I can't wait to get my DVD...whoo hoo!

Well like Fluttercakes, I also thought I was going to see You Tube videos and ended up ordering the DVD as well.

How long did it take to receive the video from the time you ordered it???? Can you tell I'm not a very patient person

LOL, I had to see what all the excitement was about so I just ordered one too.

LovesPekes, I got mine in only a few days. You won't regret the purchase. It's a great teaching video.

Stacie, you are going to love your dvd. It is an outstanding dvd for anyone who, wants to learn some great tips and have smooth sharp looking cakes. No more rounded square corners

I also use her bc recipe. I love it when everyone takes their first bite and they rave over the icing. One of the best things for me about this icing is it being non-dairy.

Now they can rave over the things I have learn from the dvd You got yourself a great gift.

God Bless,
Sharon

That sounds like a great DVD. I wish her tips could be used with non-crusting buttercream. I use IMBC and it doesn´t crust so I don´t think it would work for me.

Just ordered it two minutes ago!!! Can't wait!!!

frindmi, this is what ShirleyW wrote in this thread about the dvd. Maybe she could give you more info about if it would work with the IMBC icing.
Maybe PM Sharon, she might be able to tell you if it will work or not.

Cakepro, LovesPekes, you are going to LOVE it! I think Sharon's DVD should get the blue ribbon for Best Buttercream DVD

God Bless,
Sharon

It is a great thread, WARNING! it is very long....but worth the reading. So fix you a pot of coffee and read! read! read! I do tell everyone if there is anyway you can, to read the whole thread. It has wonderful tips, info and pictures, even some laughs along the way.

God Bless,

I must have ESP, I answer her question before she ask it
Must be a bug in the forum, where they are upgrading.

Just ordered a DVD too! Yippie! Can't wait to see it.

MAGGISMITH & bearcreek350, Yippie!! I am excited for you....both of your are going to love this dvd. I was hoping to get to make a square cake this weekend, just to try out the way Sharon does it. I didn't get to, my DD made a lemon cake (very good by the way), so we have to get that eaten 1st.

I do hope to make one soon...heck I'll even be happy to do a round cake just to try the things she shows on them

Hope you get your dvd's soon ladies!!
God Bless,
Sharon

It goes without saying that SugarShack is certainly talented. I am looking forward to seeing her gorgeous work in action.

I got it too! Thank you grannys3angels for the encouragement. I PMed Shirley and decided to give it a go. Now I´m so excited to get it in the mail.

Cakepro, Bless your heart for given me a much needed laugh, it does look that way I blame it on a great dvd, to much time on my hands, and not getting out more

frindmi, great! I'am glad it work out and you are so welcome...the in your post just got to me and I remember ShirleyW's post. Thought why not give it a shot.

Ohhhhhh my goodness.....stop it Cakepro, laughing so hard I got tears. Now thats down right funny!!

God Bless You & Yours,

i plan to order my dvd next month!!!! I cant wait

HI... I got my dvd in like 2 days ! Cant get over how fast it got here ! I love it to .I have a question for anyone that wants to answer . I havent used it YET ! Can someone tell me the difference ,and why its called HIGH RATIO SHOETENING ?? ( SORRY IF ITS A SILLY QUESTION ) !!! Thanks !

Hereâs the cake I did yesterday with Sharonâs techniques. I have several years decorating experience and have come a long way, but I havenât had a really tried and true technique for a perfect cake every timeâ¦UNTIL NOW! OK, itâs not totally perfect, it could be better, you can see some blemishes, but this was my first try and look how even and level and smooth it is! Watching her ice it was a huge help! And she also shows how to use the diamond impression mat. Iâve done that before as well, but watching her apply it showed me how to get a good and even impression.

I iced this cake with my regular Butter, Crisco, Powdered Sugar, flavoring and Milk icing. I added a touch of lavender gel color to get it whiter. It crusted on me too much after a while so I had to skip a couple of her steps, but it still came out pretty good. I plan to get some hi-ratio shortening and also give her coffee creamer liquid a try. If I can get it this smooth and neat the first time, imagine how much better Iâm going to get with more practice! Iâm so excited!

They say, âThe proof is in the pudding.â Hereâs my pudding!

Sharon Z, YOU ARE AWESOME!!!

MissyTex.... WOW ITS BEAUTIFUL !! CONGRATS TO YOU !

fiddlesticks, no question is a silly question, that is how we learn things, so don't think you ask a silly question...really it was a good one

Hi-ratio shortening, also known as cake decorators icing... it absorbs more sugar and liquid than regular shortening, it helps your icing to be more smoother and more stable. The two I hear the most of are Alpine & Sweetex, but there other brands also. I will never go back to crisco again when it comes to making my icing. Hope this helps.
Also here is a link with all kinds of info on hi-ratio, what kinds, where to buy and much more. http://forum.cakecentral.com/cake-decorating-ftopict-219731-.html

EDITED TO SAY: WOWWWW! MissyTex, you did a GREAT!! job on your cake . I can't wait to try out some of her techniques!

For those who have the DVD, does it show how to get the cake perfectly level?

double post

Well I just couldn't stand it any longer -- I just ordered it! Actually what inspired me were three things: First, how many people have ordered it and can't say enough good things about it. Then I PMed Shirley and got more details. Finally MissyTex's pix of the diamond impression was the final straw -- I have one and can't get that thing to work right for the life of me! (I know it's the mat, and not me...) So it's another present coming in the mail! Wooo hooo!!!!

Mlwideman: Yes! She does show how she gets a level top. It is a neat technique! Very simple. You'll say to yourself, "Why didn't I think of that!"

grannys3angels ..Thanks so much ! Thats very helpful !

fiddlesticks, you are very welcome, glad it was helpful for you. Nice to hear you got the dvd also & love it.

Woooo Hoooo & Yahoooo for bobwonderbuns! I am you order the dvd, you will love her techniques & demonstrations that she does.

Now I will have to be nice, cause I want to put the cutters on my Christmas list

God Bless,
Sharon
