I'm definitely a beginner in cake decorating and wondered if a book would be enough to get started. I ended up ordering this DVD anyway and I'm so glad I did. It's very easy to use (each lesson is only a couple of minutes, easy to watch a few at a time) and full of helpful tips that I don't think I would have found in books alone.

Unless you are a professional cake maker, I think this DVD shows all you need to know about cake decorating. The segments are short and easy to understand. All the basics I could think of are covered. It is very user friendly to watch and comes with a nice booklet that summarizes the main points.

This DVD is exactly what I was looking for.Something that could teach me the basics of Cake Decorating.With my work schedule I am unable to take the Wiltons class at this time.I really wanted to learn some basic Cake Decorating.I have been baking a long time but I had no decorating skills,I wanted to have a nice finished product.So I researched Cake Decorating DVD's and choose the Wilton's,and now I'm on my way.I've made some very pretty Cakes that have suprised me.This DVD really deliver's it's easy to follow and I've learned alot.I highly recomend this DVD to anyone that wants to learn to Decorate Cakes.

I attended a cake decorating class conducted by a Wilton teacher several years ago and I was very disappointed with the experience. The class was much too crowded and I did not receive the personal attention I needed.
I am extremely pleased with this video as it covers all the basics that I require plus I can review it any time I so desire!

If you are trying to learn cake decorating at home this is the DVD to start with.

This is a good video if you have never decorated a cake. It is very,very basic. If you are familiar at all with cake decorating this video is not going to be very much help for you. The lady on the video is not very good at decorating, but she can still show you the basics. It is very short.

I was surprised at how little information this video provided. The cake decorator in the video wasn't really that great. She was very sloppy and went way too fast. :( Disappointed in wilton.

As someone who has taken the Wilton classes I was very happy to have received this. It helps to keep everything fresh in your mind that you learn in class. It is a very helpful video. Being able to rewind and pause is a huge help for working through mastering the flowers.

Even if you had never taken the Wilton classes this would be an effective teaching video.

The only down side is that it is filmed from across the table from the instructor not from her point of view. It's like seeing everything backwards.

This is a good buy in my opinion.

This DVD is very short, i really thought it will have more techniques using alot more decorating tips.

But what disappointed me the most was that 2 chapters of this DVD did NOT work!! it got stuck, i played it on another DVD player and the same thing happened... (u.u)

I bought this DVD and I love it! I wish Wilton could bring out more DVD's because I would love to see more step-by-step instructions on how to decorate cakes, learn their techniques etc. If you are finding books difficult to follow at times, then a DVD is very useful!
