    John!!! You're incredible! I've never attempted piping flowers before, and I was very intimidated. But after watching a few of your videos, I felt inspired and capable, so I went ahead and tried it! I just made a birthday cake for my grandmother and it turned out BEAUTIFUL! It's a brown butter cake with buttercream frosting (your recipes of course!) and it's covered in buttercream roses! Thank you so much for being a wonderful and encouraging teacher!

    The thing I like about your videos is that you don't play a lot of annoying music in the background. Its just your voice that I can focus on while backing because you speak to the point.

    I can’t even tell you how happy this video made me. Learning to make these flowers is one of my goals for 2020. Your videos are so easy to understand, and that encourages me to do this. Also, the short cry of a child in the background at one point makes you relatable. Even though my children are grown now, that just sounds like home. Thank you, for your videos. I’ll try not to eat too many of my mistakes. If I do, I’ll totally ruin my other 2020 goal of slimming down. 😊

    Hi John, love your videos. Thank you. I've got countless tips... in storage...hundreds of miles away... I've discovered a decorating kit in the kitchen of my now-late MIL. It's...plastic... the flower nail is a stick thing that looks like a stylus, AND as a bonus, the icing bags are approximately 8 inch by 4 inch and open on not one end, but BOTH. I'm going to say "Thank you God" and do what I'm able to with it. And I'm going to get pics. Wish me luck.....
