When you buy your demonstration, you will be sent the link to Annabelle’s recording along with a list and picture of equipment used. You can then download the recording and save it to watch and re-watch as many times as you like.
Each technique is fully explained and broken down into simple steps.
So when Annabelle posted that she had baked 108 cupcakes, all of which turned out perfect, I decided I needed to face my nemesis. So I purchased the zoom cupcake class online for just £10. Noted all the top tips and decided to go for it. 4 batches later and a few messages to Annabelle and tah dah !!! Vanilla, biscoff, lemon and even chocolate. The video class really helped me.
