The buttercream cake video class is amazing, I purchased it last minute to assist me in making my daughter’s birthday cake and it far exceeded my expectations. Annabelle provided so many excellent tips during the course and assisted me in making a lovely looking buttercream cake. I would highly recommend this video class.

I did a last minute purchase of the buttercream cakes video today and have since diligently watched it. This is the first video that I have purchased and it definitely won’t be the last. The video is engaging and really informative with great description and hints and tips. Following a video rather than just a recipe makes it really easy to understand and see what you are trying to achieve, whilst being undertaken from the comfort of your own home. I would highly recommend. Looking forward to the next one.
