I'm just finishing up my Wilton classes but want to go on learning. Could anyone recommend some DVD's that are worth purchasing?
I keep watch and have seen the tutorials here and love them but looking for some good DVD's that are easy to learn from. I'm going to purchase Edna's Stargazer Lily DVD.
Thanks

Check out Sugarshack's DVD's you won't be disappointed LOADS of info on those puppies!!!

Sharon has some great dvd's www.sugaredproductions.com, that's where I got mine from.

And Jennifer Dontz too www.sugardelites.com
they are both members here

and www.cakeconnection.com has a great gelatin flowers and butterfiles book and supplies.

I 2nd everything Uniqueask said.

then ones that uniqueask..has posted are great... also, when you get into gumpaste flowers.. scott woolley and nick lodge have great dvd'd on that medium.. there are so many out there. just keep on looking and asking.. you will love them all..

I'm also new to decorating. Took some Wilton classes which were ok for a starting point but want to learn more. I'm trying to decide whether to get buttercream/fondant DVDs by Sharon Zambito or Susan Carberry.

I've got Sharon Zambito's they are wonderful, I saw a difference in my cakes immediatly, I still put them in while I'm working. But it will still come down to practice,practice and more practice. I'm hoping to buy some of Nick Lodges and Scott Woolley DVD's or maybe I'll get my DH to get them for me for Christmas.

Thanks to everyone who answered. I think I'm going to put Nic Lodges DVD's on my Christmas wish list. Edna's too.

Check out all of the tutorials on You Tube. Many of them are great and they are free.

Anything by Sharon Zambito is great!

I was planning to buy couple of Nicholas Lodge books, should I look at the DVDs instead?

Thanks for asking Rusti!

Every Christmas my husband is stumped on stocking stuffers. What a great idea to add to my list!

Just watched Sharon Zambito's Fondant and BC DVDs, she is fantastic! great instruction with lots of information and tips!

Sharon's co-partner in sugar teaching crime is Jennifer Dontz...She also has some DVDs that I eventually want to purchase...I LOVE Sharon's and can't wait to see how Jennifer's are....Also, Nicholas Lodge's are VERY thorough...And Edna is just wonderful!

There are so many that I want to buy! The only ones that I have purchased so far have been Sharon's - but I want all of them.

oh I love edna de la cruz' teaching style. i purchased her stargazer lily dvd and it's great. i also purchased a nicholas lodge dvd.

I am new to cake decorating as well, in fact I am still in Course 3 of Wilton.
I feel like I can't absorb enough - fast enough! I just bought Jennifer Dontz 'Fun with Fondant and Frills" and loved it!

Any dvds by Sharon Zambito, Nick Lodge and Jennifer Dontz. Edna and Marcela Sanchez's sugar flowers dvds are also amazing. I just ordered Scott Woolley's Sugar Orchids Dvd as well!

I just got Jennifer Dontz "Fun With Fondant Frills" dvd, I love it and she has her pearl clay recipe in it. LOVE it
I also have Edna's "Stargazer Lillie" dvd, LOVE it also,
My next one will be SugarShack's (Sharon Zambito) on Christmas wish list

amen everyones suggestions.

I also suggest you check your local library. I've found some great books there.

look for the thread with the hundreds of tutorials. they're all free.


for those of you who have nic lodge dvd's. which ones would you suggest.

any of the flowers dvds - they're all amazing! So is the gumpaste bugs dvd

I have all of Sugarshack's DVD, and they are worth their weight in gold!!!

I would definately recommend Sharon Zambitos vidoes. Sugaredproductions.com She is very detailed. She has a buttercream, fondant, topsy turvy, stacking and idea video. Have them all. Love them all.
