This DVD was a step by step lesson on cake making and cake decorating. Mrs. Brodock has been baking and decorating cakes for over twenty-years, and now she wants to share her knowledge with the next generation of homemakers. You can find all kinds of different tutorials on homemaking skills from cake decorating to quilting.

She says "I have created hundreds of cakes for just about every occasion! I have catered countless parties and weddings. In addition, I have taught dozens of cake decorating classes to adults and children. I have packed everything you need to know about basic cake decorating into this one-hour DVD."

"Is it hard to squeeze the extra money from your budget to take a class? At a fraction of the cost of taking classes, you can learn the basic techniques in the privacy and convenience of your own home."

The level of difficulty would be simple for anyone who is familiar with baking cakes, yet also easy enough for someone who is not. This DVD tutorial was easy to follow along with,and she made it seem quite like "a piece of cake". This was much easier to follow than most popular cooking shows and a down to earth viewing that wasn't intimidating. You could tell that Mrs. Brodock has experience with baking cakes and that she has a passion for using her creativity while teaching. Listening to her voice throughout the video brought a comfort feeling that reminds me of baking with my own mother, yet my mother doesn't have that sweet southern accent.

I admire this family for putting together this video in their own home to encourage others in this simple, but important, homemaking skill. Because this was a homemade film it makes it seem as if I was there in her kitchen as if Mrs. Brodock was speaking directly to me.

I thought that this tutorial video demonstration was very informative. It had many great ideas in it and many different techniques and tips that I feel is very useful. I think the decorating idea that I enjoyed the most was both the roses and the regular waves. I think that I will have to make myself a cake soon and put this lesson to good use for my family. Mrs. Brodock made it look so easy! I really enjoyed what this tutorial gave me, and I'm sure you will too!
