I remember when I was stacking cakes for the first time before starting my business and how nerve wracking it was. Now it feels totally different. We all start from somewhere and get better with practice ;)

This is the BEST video. I love that you are very direct with your instructions and that you don't waste time chatting about a bunch of irrelevent stuff. All you instructions are so clear and so incredibly helpful. Looking forward to doing a much better job on my next test cake for my daughters wedding cake (OMG). Thank you so much for such a helpful tutorial!
