POPS! ICY TREATS FOR EVERYONE By Krystina Castella

DVD Review: TOPSY TURVY CROOKED CAKES and Gumpaste and Chocolate Modeling Clay By Carrie's Cakes

I love TOPSY TURVY CROOKED CAKES and new ideas in cake-decorating and I have read so many books and always thought that the instructions were not easy and clear for a beginner cake decorator like me to do by myself, so no question of me teaching other's . While I was on hunt to get information on learning and understanding how this topsy turvy cakes were made I stumbled upon carrie's cakes website. Yesterday, I received 2 DVD's from Carrie's Cakes

1. TOPSY TURVY CROOKED CAKES

2. Gum Paste and Chocolate Modelling Clay

I have watched her DVD's 3 times till now and I must say she is amazing as a teacher. Her Topsy Turvy Cake method and Gumpaste and Chocolate Modelling Clay DVD's are the best and the most amazingly simple method to work on and  I am so sure that I  never or will ever come across any DVD's or books that will have such simple techniques to make such a difficult and complex looking cake with so much ease.

Her DVD's are one of the best that I have ever watched in Cake-Decorating till date. She has shared all her recipes of making Fondant, Ganache, Chocolate Modeling Clay , Making bows, Quilts, Edible Pearls, Various kinds of flowers, Embroidery  and also has shown using different techniques for decorating and finishing your cake with "Total Confidence".
Carrie is a wonderful Cake-Decorator and it is proved by her work and recognition in cake-world however she is also an otstanding teacher and her DVD'd proves that. I am so thrilled to have these DVD's in my collection or else I would have wasted so many cakes and money to say in frustration of learning these techniques. All the Cake- Decorator's must invest in these DVD's and get this incredible source of knowledge where Carrie shares tips, tricks and methods of simple and easy way of Cake-Decorating. She also has various other DVD's available so there is something more to learn from these DVD"s for all level of Cake-decorator's which you can find here.
I am very curios to know what all information and techniques she may have shared in her other amazing DVD's. Believe me this will be the best investment you will ever do in learning Cake-Decorating.
