I recently retired and now have the time to spend doing one of my favorite things, cooking. I've always been fascinated by flowery cake decorating and thought it would be one of those things that took years to develop the skills. This course made it easy to see that with a little practice, the right tools, and some patience and humor, one can easily create beautiful, flowered cakes with confidence. I thought the delivery was easy to follow, charming in a way, and a thoroughly enjoyable learning experience. Greats tips and knowledge to allow one to let their creativity run wild. Nicely done and highly recommended.
