New Video, Pages
I just uploaded two pages from Vol. 1 of our new "Cake Decorating Made Easy!" 2-Volume set. The second page contains a link to another "how-to" video. The production of this video is slightly different than the first one, so we'd really appreciate your feedback.
Look to the right column, under LINKS, and click on "Sneak Peek Page (New)". After you check it out, come back and click on the word, "COMMENTS" next to my name at the bottom of this post, and let us know how the video worked for you.
And, if you haven't already, please sign up for priority notification over there on the right. Thanks, and we look forward to hearing from you!

I think the video is great. No camera shaking, clear sound and great demostration as well. Keep up the great work.
Excellent video - great quality, easy to understand and learn from :) Ange
Wow!..this video does show improvement I love the close up detail, great explanation on "how to" Makes me want to get the video now. Great Job,
The video was great! It was very easy to follow and made me want to make a cake. Thanks!
Absolutely wonderful. Up front and personal. Easy to follow and easy to understand. Keep it coming.
This is a very informative demonstration. Keep them coming.
Watching videos is a very easy way to learn. I can't wait to see the finished product. I did find, however, that there was a couple of instances when the lady talked much quieter and I needed to turn up the sound to hear what she was saying and then turn it back down. But other than that job well done. Thank you!
Better job than the first. Very well done. Each step clearly explained and performed. One note that I use - if anyone doesn't have that particular icing tip - I use just the coupler it has a nice large opening.
I liked this second video much more than the first. The girl seemed more comfortable this time and I am no expert but I feel she should have had the top off of her container of strawberry spread before applying it to the cake..she kinda fumbled with it at first. Great job though in the demo! Debby
This was a good video clip. I was waiting for her to tell what consistency of icing should be used around the edges but I am assuming thick. Keep working on the steadiness of the camera and I know the final product will be great.

I really enjoyed this video. Explanations and example were easy to understand and view. Well done.
Love this video!! The close up camera work made it even better than the first one. Really learned a lot by both reading the pages and watching. Can't wait for the new combo eBook and video clips to come out. Thanks!
You've made a task, something everybody will now want to do. Watch out all you bakers & cake decorators. Your job has just been outsourced!
The video was easy to understand to the point every 10 year old will be selling cakes instead of lemonade this summer!!
Hi Rose,
To watch the video, find the "LINKS" column on the right side of the blog.
Click on "Sneak Peek Pages (New)".
Download the 2 new pages and go to the bottom of the second page.
Just click on the blue link that reads, "Click here to watch the "Filling Your Cake" video."
If your link is not active, you may simply need a more current version of Adobe Acrobat Reader.
You'll need Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.5 (or later) to open and read the files (pages). If you're unsure which version you have, or you'd like to have the latest version, (it's free), click HERE.
Once everything is downloaded, simply open Adobe Acrobat, then, from within Adobe Acrobat, go to "File," then "Open." Find the file you'd like to open and double click it.
Good luck!
WOW. I'm really impressed! More More!!!!
I loved the video. No shaking and very good explanation. I am a big video/dvd buyer when it comes to crafts. I do much better watching than just reading. To have both in writing and visual would be awesome. I did not get to see the first video but this one was great.
Keep up the good work! I really enjoy your e-mails with tips.
A very good video showing a much needed technique to be used by all. The video production was great. Detail to construction was fantastic. Keep up the good work.
This video clip was wonderful. I am more of a visual learning than a reading learner. I hope there will be a video to show how to apply smooth icing to cakes before applying decorations. You are doing a wonderful job. Thanks and God Bless!
The video is very good. The audio could be a tad better. Some parts I couldn't quite catch. This will get better as the demonstrator gains more confidence. I'll also turn my sound up a notch. Keep them coming.
I didn't see the first video, but this one was very good. I made a wedding cake a month ago and the bride wanted strawberry filling. I had never done that before, but what the bride wants, the bride gets. By trial and error I ended up making a dam, but not piping it. your technique is so much better. I wish I had this info before that cake, But now I know for the next one. Thanks so much! Sue
Hi there Sam & Michael: The video was very good. It was well done; the instructions were clear and concise; sound was good. You're doing a great job...keep up the good work. Warm regards, Marilyn
This is great! An improvement over the previous video quality. Access was quick.
Can't wait until the video book is complete.
Excellent work.
Thanks
Sharon :)

I didn't get to view all of the first video. The second one took a long time to download but I did get to see it to the finish. It was very good except for a couple of times I had to replay it to catch what the lady said. The video shows much better what to do than just guessing for those who never filled a cake.
Instructions say to place the cake layer with the bottom up when stacking, does that mean only the top layer? Does it make any difference about the other layer if it is bottom up or not?
Thanks so much for all the tips! Looking forward for more.

This was an excellent video, very informative and nicely done. I learned a lot too. Keep up the good work.
When layering or torting cakes, it's always
best to put your best side facing up. Your
cake will stack more evenly if you're always
starting with the most level base possible.
In a layer cake when you're simply stacking
individually baked cakes, the best side is
generally the bottom side (unless the bottom
stuck to the pan in places and you have
patched holes.)
So, to put it briefly, "Bottoms Up!"
Wow! The video clip is excellent, and your presentation style so natural and clear. As I am in Australia, I would love to know which part of the States you come from, so that I can identify the accent.
Congratulations.
Michael and Sam
I am so excited with my book and I can't wait to see the Video Book.
I didn"t see the first video but this one is amazing.It is easier to learn watching "how to" do it.
Thanks so much and keep your good work.
God bless you
Betty
you gies are great. thanks for your time and quick responce

Looks great. Very clear. the set up of instructions first, then video works very well - I can't wait for you to finish. Please in-clude info on freezing cakes (before and/or after icing and before decorating).
I thought the video was informative and the hands on approach makes it easier to understand and learn.
I am new to the site and have quite a bit of questions soI am so glad I bumped into it. It's been so helpful. I've recently purchased the strip but had no clue how to use it, so your video info was good, I haven't tried it yet. I missed your info on how to ice a smooth cake, plse send me this info, also do you insert the flower nail in the cake batter or after it's halfway done? Thanks.
looks good, but try not to keep going back ant forth so much to the speakers face shot. We want more close up of theyis being done not said. Thank and can't wait to get my hands on them!
The first video: I struggled to see it through. It kept on stopping waiting for the streaming to catch up. I'm on full bandwidth so I'm not sure what happened.
