You know, we all learn differently, and depending on the video, stoping & starting the darn thing can be bloody annoying. Especially when you have tools in your hands, or they are gooey with icing, etc.....you know what I mean. I really like a tutorial with pictures & step by step instructions & explanations. I bought 4 tutorials from Lorraine McKay: extraicingonthecake.com. You pay her through paypal, and she emails the tutorial right to your inbox. Hers are step by step pictures with very, very, detailed instructions. I can look, and read & re-read as many times as I want. I have two sugar flower/decorating books that do the same. Mind you I do have saved Youtube tutorials, that I have watched over & over. Where there is a certain "technique" you need to learn, you do have to actually watch how it is done. It is just more convienient for me to do the picture/instruction method.

i know what you mean june, sometimes i still have a problem with certain flowers, one for instance was the parrot tulip, i dont know why, just was brain dead when it came to tulips, so i went to michaels craft and purchased a both tulips, that is how i learned the flower. I will often do that if iam not sure of my work,(when the flower is not in season) i just get the silk floral, that way i can also make a mold of it and the leaf. having the model of the flower in front of you is the best teacher of all.

He! He!......we think alike. I do this often. Buy the silk flower. One to look at, & one to "tear apart". Since I have only just recently retired, I am finding time to practice making flowers. The winters are long, so it is nice to have a pastime, albeit a pricey one, you can do to make those mnths fly by. By the way I did bookmark that other site.... duskyrose.... Looks interesting & informative.

Debbie Caryl said:Jennifer Dontz sells DVD's and she has one that you learn to make lifelike roses and ivy. The other is how to make a cymbidium orchid. Both are fantastic!! She has about 6 different DVD's that cover fondant, buttercream, and how to put the flowers you have made into a topper for a wedding cake. I highly recommend the DVD's. She also sells the cutters and more. sugardelites.com Check it out!
