This video compliments the award winning "Darci Decorates" television show directed by 4-time Emmy Award winner Director Sheldon I. Altfeld by going into depth of techniques that are necessary to skip over on television due to time constraints.
Perfect for beginners Darci makes decorating a cake very easy to learn. This is perfect for someone who has no experience and includes helpful tips for people who are just learning or need a refresher course on the basics.
DARCI DECORATES REVIEW Im currently taking the Wilton classes (course #2) and I thought this video would make a nice addition to my lessons, as Im a VERY visual learner.
The video isn't bad, it is very viewable. However I did not find it to be very instructive. Darci flies thru a few basic methods and then flies thru instructions on how to make the rose. Not helpful in the least. However I did learn from her some excellent idea regarding the way to smoothly foundation ice a cake.
If you've never taken a class, this might be a good investment. I personally find the classes to be a better investment.
Best DVD for basic cake decorating I found this to be one of the top instructional DVD's for a new student. Yes, her techniques are different but they work, and they are very simple. I have been decorating for over 11 years and I always aim for perfection. I also teach cake decorating, and I see how the students struggle with their icing. Well, this solves the icing on the cake problem and any other issues with your decorating. Some of her techniques are different from the traditional ways that I teach my decorating classes, but I will dare to have my 10 year old daughter watch the DVD and use Darci's techniques to decorate a cake. It's that simple, and her icing works to perfection. She is fun to watch and the best part is the price. Happy decorating! Sincerely, Emy For more advance decorator's "Perfecting the art of Buttercream" by Sharon Zambito is also a great addition to any collection! But first master Darci's techniques then move up!
Very entertaining, and yet very informative! This video is great! This is a how to video, but I found myself very entertained with Darci's fun attitude. She explains many details for cake decorating, shares wonderful tips, ideas & how to keep it easy! This video really shows how to get from mixing up the cake batter to having it ready for the party. I have always enjoyed trying to make birthday cakes for my kids, but have never ever been very good at it. When my kids were younger they really didn't care how it looked (writing all wiggly, the borders looking horrid), but I just never had the time to dedicate going to a cake decorating class. After watching this video, I felt like I could just get up and make a beautiful cake! I used the recipe Darci provides, followed her instructions & made a wonderful cake for my son, and yes I made a few mistakes, but the tips that were given REALLY HELPED!!! When my daughter's birthday came around, I had to watch the video again to freshen up, but made my daughter's cake (I used Darci's Bling-Bling Cake kit too) & my daughter had a hard time believing that I made the cake. That night during her sleep-over, I overheard her tell her friends, she knew I didn't make the cake, and she went into details of how bad my previous cakes looked. Thank you Darci for helping me make great simple cakes! I recommend this video to anyone who is looking at learning how to decorate cakes!!!!
how to decorate vol 1 I was pleased with the instruction. Darci shows you how to hold the bag to make the designs like shells, roses and borders, how to fill the bag , and most important a frosting recipe that really works. I highly recomend this video.
