For those of you who have bought instructional videos what one (or two) would you absolutely recommend for someone with intermediate skills? I'd like to get more proficient in gumpaste/fondant decorations. There's so much out there and I'd like to get that "WOW!" effect, ya know?

I can recommend one NOT to buy! It is sold on eBay and is supposed to show you how to make your own wedding cake. They stress that it is 72 minutes long, but at least 20 of that could be cut out and/or used to much better advantage! She spends way too much time mixing a cake with an old (I'm talking antique) mixer that doesn't even work all the time...then she does the same thing with mixing icing! I'm thinking if you don't know how to mix a cake and make icing...what the heck are you doing trying to make your own wedding cake?

IMHO the videography is awful (the baker wears a white shirt/top, and makes white cakes so you can imagine what that does to the lighting!

They did give me my money back though! Just a little FYI in case you run across the video. Janice

Hi!

I have 2 Nicholas Lodge's tapes I won on ebay..(bows, drapes, tassles and ropes & decorating with gumpaste) that I would recommend to anyone. So easy step by step instructions.

HTH!
