Love this class!!!
"Erin is a fantastic instructor. This class was as enjoyable to watch as it was instructional. What I particularly love about Erin's class is that I learned 5 specific (and food safe!) techniques to design my own stamps and cakes. I can envision myself applying these techniques to a wide variety of cakes, and maybe even cookies. I think I'm sometimes an anomaly in the cake decorating world, because I really only feel comfortable using food-safe items on my cakes (whereas some others are a bit more lenient and will go non-toxic, but not necessarily food-safe). I really loved that every solution Erin presented is food-safe, but still incredibly creative and beautiful. Thanks for a great class!" - Craftsy user Clare S

Take This Class
"I found the techniques in this class very interesting. Erin explained everything very well, and I didn't finish the class feeling like I had to be a professional to do this. She also answered all questions in the discussion area as well. I'm excited to make my own stamp! I would definitely take another class from Erin." - Craftsy user SmileyPancake

Money well spent
"To say am pleased with this class is putting it mildly. Having taken almost all the cake decorating classes on this platform, I can say this is by far one of the most informative..it goes straight to the point but carefully makes sure you get every detail it's conveying...I got to learn how to make about 7 new flowers along with these new great techniques in cake decorating. I've watched the class twice already in 1 day. Am truly happy and recommend this class. Erin your the best. Thank you soooooo much." - Craftsy user Dainty Affairs

All her decorating was so straightforward, easy to understand and no fuss!" - Craftsy user AzZee
