You are a great instructor. Thank you for not being selfish like some of the people pretending to show how to decorate and start showing you, then suddenly start going fast, or add something or say something that is not clear to understand. Thank you chef Alan. May God richly bless you

[@deenibeeniable]

I'm not even a cake decorator & I still like watching these videos! I think you're a VERY good teacher because of the way you explain the smallest details even if they seem trivial. For a student who's starting from scratch, nothing is trivial & these are the exact questions people are going to have. It's the sign of a great teacher: someone who can really break things down & not assume people know things they might not. I know all your students really appreciate it.

[@chataortaga]

Excellent!

[@Highinsight7]

I am a cake decorator... been doing since the third grade... this guys WONDERFUL and a GREAT teacher!!!

[@frankieromanelli1777]

Its almost like your training me...I get my cakes ready and follow you step by step..and you make it so easy to learn..Some of your end product I look at and think "Oh my god I'd NEVER be able to do THAT" ...but you make it so easy to learn and as long as I follow your videos along with piping (and everything else) IAM ACTUALLY CAPABLE OF SUCCEEDING IN THINGS I NEVER THOUGHT I WAS CAPABLE OF DOING...And its all thanks to you Alan!!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to teach us your amazing knowledge and skills! Your gonna make me famous 1 day for my AMAZING cake decorating!!! Respectfully Dawn XOXO

[@marshallsaleem9130]

Wow! I used to think so much emphasis on borders were old fashioned, but with your tutorials and videos its been so easy to follow along and modernise cake borders. Am really enjoying working with your techniques, Here's to you Alan! Thanks, you rock!

[@raincomique5456]

Very well delivered in teaching about baking... Even a person with no experience in baking can do this tutorials because it is very spoon feeding teaching. You explain everything and the techniques.... salute to you Sir...

[@3artsofhealing233]

Thank you.. Your tutorials are the best I've seen. You explain technique along with details that most on you tube assume you know or they just don't know how to articulate technique. I had almost given up on you tube tutorials. Novices thinking their experts rattling along with camera angles you can't see, giving incorrect information and teaching bad habits. More than half I see should say, what not to when "inset subject". You are FANTASTIC and appreciated. Fantastic prices too!

[@GlobalSugarArtyoutube]

Thank you for the kind words. I love what I do and get a lot of satisfaction teaching others the joy of decorating.

[@marjoriecampbell4120]

Thank you so much for sharing your videos and your knowledge with us. I watch these nearly every night and have learned a great deal of information I would not have other wise been able to do because of the time line of working and all the other things we have to do in life. This to me has been a blessing. In return I do shop on your sight. The prices are very reasonable and the quality of the items are great and I love the Fatdaddy cake pans. I also am impressed with the powder colors they work very well. Thanks again and I will continue to watch. God bless you

[@marymirville9584]

I really enjoyed. I do cake decorating. I learned many techniques that I did not know. They are dry simple and gorgeous. Thank you. Where can watch your earliest videos. I am new to your website. My name is Mary

[@donnabaileyfranks8589]

Thank u for all your videos they have helped me so much! You make everything seem so easy and u take your time and explain everything to where anyone can understand it!

[@Smokestacklightin]

Thank you so much for all of your patient teaching and sharing your knowledge. I am wondering if there are tips and baking equipment designed with those of us who are visual challenged as sizing and measurements on most equipment is far to small for me to see though I'm still able to see to pipe. I love to bake, but unless someone is around to tell me what size things are I can't bake. The sizes on tips mean nothing to me because I can't see one from the other. Lol!

[@donnasellhorn2750]

I love watching your videos. I am learning decorating. You make it easy to follow,I feel I am learning so much. Thank you.

[@johnearle1]

Really lovely, thanks so much for such detailed information. It helps the novice like myself immeasurably. One detail I feel unsure of is in regards to the large crown borders. I know the string work is done with either royal or boiled icing, but the actual border itself, such as the crescent or large shell, is that created from butter cream?

[@GlobalSugarArtyoutube]

The shell can be piped with the boiled icing or butterceam. On large heavy borders such as these, I prefer the boiled icing as it is very light in weight and easy to pipe.

[@Vioscakesnmore]

Good day chef , i love every thing about your detailed butter cream class, in fact am very grateful, am interested in the gelatine flower sheets, nuzzles, pipping bag, flower nails, cake flour and cake mix, l have a catering school that was just established Nov. last year with few students as a bigginer and I needed some of these things to sell in the school for their practicals. But I Don't have much money is Ltd possible for one to buy in small quantities and still make gain considering the transportation. Please advice

[@munafalah9107]

you are the best teacher.. really I'm really thankful to you.. your videos were great helpful for me to improve my skills in cake decorating

[@mariajudithgonzalez8658]

Thank a lot for the ideas. I'm a beginner.I recognize that I need practice for these borders but love the accent with the green leaf that I can easily add to shell border. Also that I could learn to make variations to what I dominate and continue to grow.

[@Lens_diary974]

I like the way how you teach.. Very clear and easy to followed😊

[@omdoolyaltaiee2384]

You are a real artist chef , that was so easy and so helpful .. but can I make these stringss using swiss meringue buttercream instead of royal icing ? Tthanks a lot .

[@GlobalSugarArtyoutube]

Unfortunately Swiss Buttercream icing is not suitable for string work. It breaks to easily.

[@laurastowell4652]

GlobalSugarArt is a thin consistency buttercream ok to do this or can you only use royal icing and also I love your videos you are so amazing at cake decorating!!

[@GlobalSugarArtyoutube]

laura stowell String work requires a royal or boiled icing.

[@marcellamcduffie8218]

Beautiful flower chef.

[@pauletteshorter386]

Can I use these buttercream decorations over fondant or it is only for buttercreamed cakes ?

[@chefalantetreault1882]

Yes, I have seen many decorators use buttercream icing to trim and decorate on fondant. I do not recommend doing this too far in advance.

[@pauletteshorter386]

Thanks!
