This disc comprises two episodes of a series by Elaine MacGregor. Episode 1 is "First Bake Your Cake" - and the hostess and guest do manage to demonstrate some cake baking techniques, not a complete guide - but it certainly covers some basics. The second episode "A Cake for all Reasons" was mostly Ms. MacGregor show various cakes that can be baked and decorated for different occasions. And by showing I mean - there you go - finished cake. Very little technique demonstrated. There are apparently other episodes for more demonstration or were supposed to be, Ms. MacGregor references them in the videos, but where they are is a mystery. If you want a video guide that demonstrates cake decorating technique - look elsewhere.

I was not aware that this DVD was 1 part of a whole series. It did not mention that, so when I got it, expecting to learn alot of things, I found that they would tell me "and we covered this in the last DVD..." so there was so much info I missed out on by not having seen the rest of the series. Was pretty disaapointed, do not think its worth it to buy the ENTIRE series to learn everything, much too pricy in these economic times.

I bought this thinking my daughter would get a nice basic "class" on how to decorate a cake, using the piping, how to transport cakes, etc. I was not happy about this DVD, it was a huge letdown. Very incomplete.
