    Your video showed cake layers similar to ones achieved by most people- imperfect and slightly broken from here n there. This is one of the few videos actually showing the realistic stuff rather than better than perfect stuff which is so hard to achieve for beginners.

      Anyone can make perfect cake forms. It's not that difficult. All you have to do is lube the pans and let them cool completely in the pans before dumping them out.

    Hi, just wanted to say thank you for what you do. You are by far the best teacher I’ve come across for cakes and decorating.
    I especially love how you explain in detail and frequently modify your techniques so that anyone, at any skill level, can join in the fun. New subscriber here, much love 🤍

    I love your tutorials.I have been baking for years but didn't try my hands at decorative cakes until recently as I always thought it was too much of a pain.Yout videos and tutorials helped me realize that it isn't really difficult. I felt inspired and I now prepare these decorative cakes beautifully and some known people even place orders for my cakes.You're tips are really great.God Bless you.

    When I got my first cake order Via My Daughter who is in College. I only had baking pans and My Daughter was my biggest cheerleader and said mommy we can do this and to tell you I had to use cut out ice cream container lids & kitchen spatula for smoothing , plastic bags for icing , microwave wheel for turn table, and had to make my own cake board using cut out polystyrene foam from my kids school project and covered it with foil and had to get my husband make a cake box for me but when my client came to pick up the cake she was blown away because I knocked that cake out with perfection and precision that my family gifted me with tons of baking equipment for my birthday last year and my client has always recommended everyone she knows to me for their cake orders and I am happy to say that having no fancy gadgets didn't stop me from getting my baking business up and going. FYI I AM A SELF TAUGHT BAKER NEVER WENT TO PASTRY SCHOOL BUT I ALWAYS HAD A PASSION FOR BAKING
