Hi Lolly! Great tips (the pressure demo was most helpful to me)! I was disappointed that you didn’t have any overhead shots of your work as it was kind of difficult to see exactly what you were doing. Maybe using a darker color would help, too? Thank you so much!

[@julieherbert4691]

Thank you Lolly for all of your great tips. They are so so helpful to all us beginners. I have mentioned this in previous videos, but please have your videographer zoom in to the cookie or work table when you are demonstrating. Not that we don’t want to see your beautiful face, but it is disappointing to not be able to see the work you are actually talking about in the tutorial. Thanks

[@kathydaniel2718]

Great teaching thank you so much.

Hi, just subscribe today. I am new at this. Went to a class yesterday and got hooked. I'm trying to get your free practice sheet. But can't figure it out. Thank you. Need so much help. 4:15

[@jerischopp6998]

Thank you so much for the great tips - but we couldn't see anything !

[@debrawolfe6827]

What kind of powder sugar do you use

[@nataliebrayton7394]

I guess I am just Screwed out the gate because I can’t ever get that consistency where I can “pull” a line like that. I feel like it’s a 10-15s consistency I’m using but maybe that’s wrong? Maybe I’m wrong and have a bad recipe 😅

[@cindyatwood7144]

Interesting! Verbally this was great; I just wish the camera was zeroed in on the bag/tip rather than your body/head and kitchen. It just would have been clearer to see. Thank you though. 😉 Very much appreciated.

I enjoy the videos but we really need to see the demos close up. It's really hard to see what you are doing.
