The page marks and how the first page or two was peeled up, really adds so much detail and realism!

[@krablord]

Small tip for anyone looking in to getting into making cakes and stuff like Zoe's or in other tutorials- if a practice or whatever turns out badly, it's very easy to just mash it up into cake-pops :P which no one will question or deny if you bring them to work, school, out as gifts...

I just Love your tutorials Zoe,have learned so much by watching them,your a very talented lady,and very simplistic in the way you explain your tutorials.Thank you for sharing.

[@vipanther46]

I never understand how you have dislikes... I absolutely love all of your videos! You are amazing at cake decorating!

[@ms-pn8mp]

I'm sorry but i'm disliking this video. Not for the content itself but for the lighting and for your camera placement. I think you should work on that.

[@bleempblomp1312]

jordin adams I'm sorry but I'm disliking your comment, not because you're an ass but because of your run on sentence. I think you should work on that.

[@winiindu7302]

+Bleemp blomp nice reply 😂

[@lennoQ4546]

Wini Indu I'm sorry but I'm liking your comment because your eyebrows look great. I think you should work on that.

[@tamaracleef2967]

I'm sorry,I saw your comment and I have to reply. Zoë is one of the top teachers in cake decorating on RUclips! Not only for the great subjects she makes but for the clear instructions and camera angles for people to follow so they can try it themselves at home. There are so much 'hard to follow' videos on YT in cake decoration and this one isn't that!!

[@ms-pn8mp]

i'm guessing it's not allowed to express your views on RUclips anymore ..?

[@Urbabydaddy32]

Awesome
