I received mine this morning!! Can't wait to watch it!!

I received mine last week and I've watched it like 4 times - I've even taken notes so I can "study" the steps and memorize them.


I've been meaning to pm her to congratulate her. It's truly amazing- genius, pure genius!

Thank you Sharon for creating this DVD and letting us try to emulate your beautiful cakes!

I'm also ready for your fondant DVD

God Bless!

WOW!!!!MissyTex, you did a great job icing that cake!!!! I can't wait to practice.

diane, here is a link to the recipie. It is the best buttercream recipe that I have used. Much easier to decorate with! And it is delicious too!

This thread is full if usefull information, it is no replacement for the DVD since she shows everything in great detail, but it is a great read.

Yes Diane, it is an all hi ratio shortening. I also agree with MommaLlama
it is the bc recipe I have ever used IMO.

Cha Cha Cha Zenu, it's nice to hear you have enjoy your dvd

O.K. just thought I would let everyone on this thread know....in the thread of Sharon's "My buttercream tips & recipe) on page 36, Sharon saids in a post that she is trying to get a class going in early 2008. Here is her e-mail addy that listed if anyone would like to get hold of her about the classes. [email protected] . Wish I could get to one of her classes

Ohh...and anyone get those beautiful cutters that on the dvd web site? If so have you used them yet and do you like them? I would like to get as gift from St. Nick DH

God Bless,
Sharon

Here's the link to the hexagon cake I made last weekend!!! I had issues when I decorated, kept bumping sides with my knuckles and those cts were makin a mess with my hot hands. BUT the naked cake was freakin gorgeous!!! I have NEVER gotten corners on a hex like these!!!

THANKS TO Sharon's dvd !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wjmonte, I saw your beautiful cake...you did a wonderful job on the hex. It look really really great! I also like your design of the cake, WTG

Again GREAT job !!! you should be very proud of yourself.

God Bless,
Sharon

wjmonte: your cake is beautiful! Sooooo smooth!

I can't wait to try this method!

wjmonte. OMG ! Your cake is awesome !! Did you also use Sharons icing recipe ?

thanks ya'll !! I use similar to sharons icing recipe. except i havea 6 quart so mine has to be tweeked to make more to fill up to the paddle.
its mostly the corners on the hex her dvd helped with. i never took enough time and went slow enough to get the edge

wjmonte: yeah, I noticed ALL your cakes are so smooth!

I need the DVD for everything! I haven't even tried a square cake with BC (only with fondant).

wjmonte, your cake is fabulous!!!!! What lovely corners!!! You did a great job.

I really like to see Sharon work, it's one thing to hear the techinques explaned, but it's a whole different thing to see it in action. It really helps me to wrap my mind around the concept.

Fiddlesticks, I'm jealous!!! I ordered my DVD the same time you did and now after 5 days I still do not have it And I'm right next door to her in Texas

I hope it isn't lost in the mail!

Mine's ordered...have a tracking number...can't wait.

Juat Ordered It!!!

I am so sorry it is taking so long guys. I promise it is on the way!

I ordered mine on Oct. 18th and still haven't received it yet. I'm having a panic attack. Hope it hasn't gotten lost in the post.


Wanda

Jojo, what kind of tracking number did you get? All I got was the one from the USPS saying a label had been printed but when I check online, it does not show that it has been mailed.

I'm worried

If you guys email me your transaction numbers to [email protected] I will check the tracking for you.


Dang USPS is so slow!

Ya everybody , Mine ( dvd ) came so fast ,I thought Sharon Lived down the road and just dropped it off ! Guess I was just Lucky! ( 1st time for everything) I will tell you its worth the wait! Hang in there .

It is REALLY worth the wait!!!! Too bad it's taking so stinkin long, the post office can be so hit and miss.

I got mine lightning fast, she mist mail them the minute she gets an order.

we had bad weather and flooding this week; maybe the cause of the delay??

still haven't gotten mine either It was mailed Monday and it is now Friday and I am one state away I have been running to the mailbox everyday in anticipation for it and it wasn't there. I guess it is God's way of making it take it's time because He knows I have work to do on all my halloween cookie orders and when I get that CD, NOTHING else will matter and I will put my cookies off I can't wait to get it!

OK people you just drove me crazy until I couldn't stand it anymore. (deep breath) I just ordered it. You all are merciless. Now I can't sleep. Tap, tap, tap, ...is it here yet?

Sorry to hear the mail is being slow about getting your dvd's to you all, but I swear it will be well worth the wait. Sorry also Sharon to hear you all are having bad weather & flooding.

The good old mail, got to get mad at them sometimes and love them other times. I sent a package once to my grandbabies in Ohio, I was when the next day my daughter in law called and said she gotten it. Then once they didn't get a package till over a week later.

I have seen 2 cakes so far that were done using the tips Sharon shows in her dvd. They were beautiful, and the decorators were very very happy....I would say IMO they were in buttercream heaven

Hope everyone gets their dvd's very soon.
God Bless,
Sharon

I am now a happy camper. The DVD was waiting for me today when I returned from the volleyball game. I've already watched it once just to get an overview. Tomorrow I will sit down when my mind isn't so tired and really watch for all the details.

Thanks Sharon,
Kim C.
