Hi everyone. I was just looking on eBay for a cake decorating video. I came across one by the CakeGenie called Buttercream flowers. It's a video showing exactly how to make certain flowers, borders, etc. I haven't been able to take any classes on decorating and I thought this might be a good idea. I was just wondering if anyone out there has ever heard of this video or possibly owns it. Thanks so much.
For those of you who would like to see it . Now look at her listing becuase she all ways has them on their so you do not have to go crazy on the bidding. You can also see a sample of the work.

Leana, yep that's the one. I just ordered it. I haven't been able to take any classes so I thought this might help me out a little bit. Her feedback is wonderful and with you saying that it is good, that was enough for me. Thanks so much. Can't wait to get it.
butternut, I also bought this video from her, she to me does some amazing and beautiful flowers. I haven't got to try any of them yet, but she really makes it look easy. Best money I ever spent on a video
irisinbloom, that is so great to hear. I'm really looking forward to getting this video. I've picked up a couple of decorating books but I have a hard time figuring out how to make flowers from a description. I read it and say what? I read it again and again and it just never makes any sense 
I really need to see them being done. I've taught myself how to make roses but that's about it. I think this is really what I need. Thanks for letting me know that you have it too.
I'm sure you will enjoy it, mine also came with a beginners video, but I haven't watched it. And I'm like you I just never could read how to do something and it just don't click with me, enjoy your video
Thanks irisinbloom. I kept thinking that I should be able to understand the instructions from the book but most of it just doesn't make any sense to me. I think the video will help out a lot. One of these days, I hope to actually take classes. I hear they are a lot of fun.
Thanks Leana for the link. I am going to order it too. I have a Nicholas Lodge video that I like and the ones from Earlene Moore. Probably could do without Earlenes since I don't decorate that way and I have not had much luck with the impression mats. her website is good though.
Thank you so much Tabby. That was mighty sweet of you to say. I've got soooo much to learn and I want to learn it yesterday I wish I could find someone that lives around me that is also interested in cake decorating. I bet it's even more fun when you can do it with a friend. Anyway, I've been able to pick up a couple of things from the books that I have but I'm really looking forward to getting the DVD. I'm having a ball!!!!
I want that video too. I've always wanted to make other buttercream flowers without using royal icing. I think this purchase will be worth it. Thanks guys.
AgentCakeBaker, that is my thought too. Everyone that I know whats to be able to eat "everything" on the cake. They don't want to pick off any royal icing flowers. I've never tried to do any flowers with royal icing but from the pictures that I've seen, there is no question that they seem more detailed than buttercream. But I'd really like to just stay with the buttercream.
Looks good. Has anyone tried her icing recipe?
Yes I tried her icing recipe, she sent it with the video and it was also on her description page on E-Bay, it is really good. I mix it for the full ten minutes as she said to do and it gets really fluffy
