I just made a gift box following her Boxes and Bows instructional DVD (which is great!). She makes it look so stinking simple! She had me thinking "Heck, yeah, I can do that!" ... she MUST be a robot, concocted by the government to ultimately crush our enemies with beautifully-buttercreamed towers of cake! No human could possibly pull that together that easily!
Here is my version of a gift box, not nearly as artistically done ... but then again, I'm not a superior being .

HAHA!

Well if I am a robot then you are an android cuz that cake ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BRAVO!!

I'm convinced BOTH of you are 'other-worldly' beings............'cause I could never do a gift box that nice!!!!!!!!
You both ROCK!!!!!!

Well, I gotta say, those DVDs are stinking great! Smartin40, you should see her go! Like I said, everything looks easy .

Thanks for the encouraging words, but I think I'm going to leave my next gift box for when I have LOTS of time to cut and recut and re-recut. And then ... well, maybe recut some more .

Ha ha ha. I had to click just because the title of this thread cracked me up!

I had a class with Sharon recently and you're right -- she is "out of this world!"

I guess it's about time for me to order her videos, cause that cake looks so wonderful. Not only that the flavors of the cake is making me hungry!!!!

Heehee, cakeandpartygirl, I'm kind of hungry now, too, come to think of it. I'm working on a peanut butter-chocolate cake right now, and fortunately for me, while I love both ingredients by themselves, I'm not a huge fan of the combination, because let me tell you, that peanut butter buttercream is crazy yummy!

Fantastic job! Congrats!

Emiyeric, your cake is beautiful!! If my first (or even third) cake comes out as well as yours did I'll be a very happy caker.

I have ordered Sharon's boxes and bows DVD. I can't wait to get it!!

I just ordered her Boxes and Bows DVD and I can't wait. She is truly a gifted person and many kudos to her for sharing her talent.

Hi Sharon.......
Are you Laniapping? Can we get some more of your extra goodies in your upcoming DVD's.

I love the DVD's and you do make it easy to assemble and do. I am eager to do a gift box, etc..
I am working on a cake at the moment (took a little coffee break), that I am using the cutters you sell for the design on this cake.This cake is a simple one, but so far, it's turning out pretty with the colors..
I will post a pic when it's all finished.

Just wanted to tell you thanks for the instructions you do. Can't wait to hopefully get a topsy turvy DVD from you........if you do one.
Have a great day......

I have all of Miss Sharon's DVDs and they are all worth any amount of money!! She is my IDOL!! You cannot go wrong with her direction and she is as lovely as her cakes!! I have not gathered the courage yet to make a giftbox cake but I am working on it!!

Great day to all!!

I just got Sharon's Buttercream video, but haven't had a chance to watch/practice yet. Unfortunately, work (my real job) has me travelling for the next 3 weeks! It'll have to wait.

And emiyeric, that cake is AWESOME!!!!

Thank you all so very much!
You make me blush!

Yes, we got lagniappes in all our DVDs and the new one too!

And dont be scraed of gift cakes! Just jump in; they are easier than you think!

You can do it!!
