I truly enjoyed this tutorial. I have learned a lot from the construction, how to use the pole and bolts to secure the cake all the while protecting the cake . Throughout the whole tutorial I was able to understand the whats and whys of how the process should unfold; things to look for and consider as you map out the construction which I most likely would not have thought of without your guidance. Thank you for the privilege to learn from you, a master cake decorator.
It is my pleasure. Thanks
