I’ve watched many, many tutorials in my effort to improve my ability and I would put both of Anne’s new DVD’s at the top of my “Recommended” list. The information is given in clear, step by step detail that is easy to follow if you are a beginner and filled with little tricks of the trade if you are more experienced. Her double cake board trick is great and is a good enough reason on its own to buy the DVD. But there are a few more tidbits offered that you’ll wonder how you did without. I would definitely recommend both of these DVD’s and hope Anne takes the time share more of her talent in future tutorials. -Suzanne
