Cool website with classes offered.

She does good work, by my the tuition! I think I'll stick to Scott Woolley's DVDs.

Wow, this is a great site! Thanks for sharing this.

the classes would be great! The detail in her flower baskets is truly amazing!

Nice stuff, Sure gives me some inspiration and something I would like to at least attempt. I enjoyed watching that video to see a true artist at work, verses only seeing the Wilton way.

Her tuition cost is outrageous.

Oof, that is expensive! But she sold out one course people must be willing to pay it. Personally, I'll just settle for a set of petal pans.....

Actually the classes for hobbyiest arent that expensive, imho scott w. classes are wayyyyyy to expensive even that i know theyre worth it!

Her flowers are nice but I don't think they compare to Stewart Feldman's and he is a member of Cake Central. Here is a link to his website.

Thanks for the kind words Shirley. You are always so sweet with your praise and encouragement. I don't think my work compares with Lori's however. I've looked at her site over and over and truly am amazed at how gorgeous her flowers are. I only wish I could afford to take classes with her, but the price is prohibitive....as are the classes with all of the top flower makers. It must be nice to be in demand as a teacher.

Wow Flowerguy! I had never seen your work before. Your flowers are amazing! I think you should offer classes.

Thank you 4star! I do offer private instruction....and at a reasonable price.

Wow-that's all I can say about both sugar flower artists. I would not be able to afford $2500 at this point in my life, but honestly 6 days of full instruction (9-5) would be 48 hours of hands on instruction (okay, 42 hours if you break an hour for lunch) and at under $60/hr to make flowers like THAT I don't think is so unreasonable. She more than likely charges $60/hr to MAKE them and you could too!! Just a thought...

assuming she teaches as well as she makes flowers, $2500 for 6 days of instruction doesn't seem unreasonable for what she is teaching per the curriculum

Wow Stuart!!! Yor flowers are Exceptional....Too bad I didn't live closer for some instruction..Would you consider doing a tutorial or two for CC on some different flowers other than a rose??


Laurel

Flowerguy....your work is amazing!!! I wish I lived closer....I would consider lessons!

I wish I could get $60.00/hr for my flowers! Most people don't want to pay that much .... even for custom made. I guess once you are in demand, then you can get that kind of money. Someday I hope.

Shirley....you are a hoot!

and no...I don't think I'd like to do tutorials online....unless I got paid a lot of money.

Her 1 week course doesnt just teach flowers. She teaches you everything. If I had the money I would go because she is definetly worth it. If you watch the Sugarrush episode, not only do her flower basket cakes look realistic, she moves them around like they are. Ive never been able to move my gumpaste flowers around like that without them breaking.

Well Flower guy Im gonna need some help with making flowers for an up coming competition so if you dont like to do tutorials online would you come out to australia? hahaha Great work! Nice flowers! People like you and Shirley inspire me to keep trying and perfecting! haha

Thanks for the compliments. Wow....I never thought I'd be inspiring anyone. You pay for a business class seat and a place to stay I'm there for as long as you need me!

Stewart

I'm learning Shirley....I'm learning!

Your work is amazing Stewart! Why don't you come to Michigan and teach our cake club? We'll stick you in the spare room and feed you all the leftover cake you can handle!

Gee Buns...is that all you have to offer?

Okay, I'll cook you dinner too. How's that?

I'm constantly inspired by Lori's work. That is where I got the ideas for Shirley W's birthday cake, the hatbox babyshower cake, and my basket cake. I enjoy her work and have sent her pictures of mine).

As for FlowerGuy, this is the first time I have seen your work. Your flowers are stunning too. Most all of my work lately has been in GP.

Thanks for the offer WonderBuns.....but I'm not at the guest speaker stage of my life yet. Dinner and cake I can do at home....but thanks for the previous compliment.

And thank you Fariytale for your nice words too.
