Has anyone purchased the Cake Decorating Made Easy videos or books icon_confused.gif ? I'm wondering if they're really worth having. I'm not a beginner so I don't want to get something that is totally geared toward the basics, but I do want something that shows intermediate and advanced techniques and ideas icon_rolleyes.gif .

I searched for any previous posts on this, but couldn't find any.

Thanks for your help.

Unless you get some videos from people like Nicholas Lodge or something for very advanced skills I think your wasting your money. I have a couple of videos and they only teach the very basic stuff. Also, I have learned more on this site than anywhere else. When I see a technique, I pm the person for a quick little how to and practice. That has saved me so much $ on books and videos!!!! So don't bother unless you have the big bucks to pay for Nick's videos. I'm sure other pros have them, he just comes to mind first.

I have them. I am a beginner and have found them useful but feel they are for the beginner not advanced decorators. On the other hand, if there are any newbies out there reading this product has very good information and the video links are great for piping techniques. They go into detail on how to pipe every flower, etc. Worth it for a newbie.

I don't have them. I have heard that they are very basic. I would probably not buy them, use the money for a different set.
