Excellent, I watched it all the way though and now I'm going to give it a try. The instructions are very, very good. So excited to try this!

😀 Kathy Johnson
Yes! So many good tips on making. coloring and loading the icing into piping bags! Those tips are not shared in her in-person classes, so that was really helpful. And even though I'm fortunate enough to be able to take classes from her in person, her online flower classes are like having one-on-one instruction and really help you feel confident enough to create beautiful flower cupcakes at home!

I so appreciate Leanne's step by step instructions! She makes it look easy, and when you actually follow her instructions, it does work! The Buttercream is truly delicious! I love the tips and tricks (especially loading icing bags and tip bags separately) that make a seemingly daunting task fun and easy!

Leanne is a wonderful teacher and these classes are very easy to follow, even for a beginner. I'm fortunate enough to also take her local classes and these online classes are a nice option for everyone. It's nice how she has each flower in a separate class so you can perfect your skills one at a time. FUN for everyone!!!
