Topsy Turvy Ready to Ship!
Hi friends!
Now that it is June, I know you all are anxious to know when the new DVD will be shipping. We are frantically stuffing cases and prepping labels, and it will start shipping Monday! They will go out in batches, and it will take all of next week to get them all out. I cannot say which batch your order will go out in. Just know it will be shipped by the end of next week.
Thank you all for your business and loyalty!
OK, back to my wedding cake order. I will check in on the weekend with another cake post!

The Most Beautiful Cake I Have Ever Seen
I have seen a lot of incredible and gorgeous cakes in my day. But last week I saw one that is by the far the most beautiful I have ever laid my eyes on. It took my breath away really, and brought tears to my eyes.
Honestly, have you ever seen a cake more beautiful? Look at those shell borders. The perfect writing. The flawless fondant. I am still awe-struck.
This was the birthday cake my son J made for me. He really does love to bake, and he got very little help from me. He baked the cakes, iced and stacked them, rolled and applied the fondant, and piped all the decorations by himself. All I did was knead the fondant for him and color the buttercream. The rest was all him. Those of you that know J know that this is really a wonderful accomplishment for him, and I am so very proud I could just burst. But I won’t, cuz that would be gross. So I will just bask in my motherly pride, and feel the love my sweet boy gave to me on my birthday.———————————
Totally Topsy Turvy DVD Give-a-way Winners!
You thought I forgot, didn’t you? You guys have been waiting by the computer since midnight waiting for me to post the winners, huh? 6 AM….10 AM….. lunch…… still no post. You guys were sure I forgot today was the day huh? Well, I would never forget you guys! I just slept late! Because Heather and I were up till 3 AM finishing the DVD cover so I can get it to the printer!
I like it! Do you guys like it? Poor Heather. What I put that girl through. Cover looks simple enough, yes? You have no idea how many hours it takes just to get that simple little thing right. Not because of Heather. She is a crackerjack in Adobe. It’s my pain-in-the-ass, can’t make up my mind, over-tweaking self that tortures the poor girl. But she never complains. She just forges through and redoes it as many times as I ask, until we are both happy. I could not live without that woman. A better friend could not be had. Love you, H. And thank you from the bottom of my tweak-happy heart.
Well, you guys have a nice Memorial Day. Don’t eat too much BBQ and I will see you in a few days!
Happy caking,
Sharon
GOTCHA!
You thought I forgot again, huh? Tee hee hee. I love messing with you guys.
We had so many entries, I picked 2 winners!

Thanks for taking me step by step through the cake assembling. I’ve always wondered how stable those kind of cakes are. I would love to win a copy of the topsy turvy DVD!
May 22, 2009 2:29 PM
Ya’ll, the editing is done and we are going to the presses. I hate to brag, but I have to tell you I am very proud of this DVD and so excited about it. You guys asked to see everything, and see everything you will. Every last cotton picking detail from start to finish. This sucker is long, so get your refreshments and settle in before you watch it. I might say it is our best DVD yet! And I love love the music on this one. It just makes me happy! Let me know if you like it too!
Thank you all for your business and support!
A note about emails
Hey guys!
I just wanted to make a note about my answering email questions and private messages that you guys send me. I am more than happy to help, and do answer every email I get. However, if I am swamped, it might take me up to a week to answer. If you do not get an answer from me within one week, please resend the email. I have been known to lose track of them sometimes.
The other issue I am having is that in answering some emails,they are bouncing back to me as undeliverable. That makes me fear that some of you think I am ignoring you, because I cannot get in touch with you. If you send me an email, please make sure that you make my return email address an accepted one to your account, so it will not bounce back as spam.
Currently, I am trying to answer Dawn and Jen and Jan, but the emails will not go through. If you guys could email me once more, we can try again.
Thanks so much!

I am attaching a few of my latest cakes as requested in your blog. The blue one is buttercream…as smooth as a baby’s butt, thanks to your first video and the impression mat with pearl idea from your fondant video lagniappe. I made the hydrangea and lady bug out of gumpaste. The chocolate cake is copied from your blog. My son dipped the strawberries in chocolate and I made a gumpaste butterfly. Vicki 🙂

Yomomma says: Hi Sharon, This is my first and only wedding cake, that I made after ordering and watching (many times b4 attempting) your stacking and fondant dvds. I give you full credit (plus prayer!) for the end results. Thanks for your thorough teaching on your dvds.

Kari made this cake based off of the Boxes and Bows DVD:

Hi Sharon! I wanted to share a picture of my FIRST wedding cake! I made this right after seeing your flawless fondant DVD, and I must say I amazed myself by how smooth my fondant looks. I love your idea of chilling the cakes before fondanting. I also love your idea for covering the cake board. Genius. Anyway, this cake is a 6,8,10,12″ with gumpaste roses and hydrangeas. My flickr site is at http://www.tishperez.comthanks/! Tish

Smoooooth buttercream, with fondant accents. That bow is the best so far!! Thanks Sugarshack!!
I have your Perfecting the Art of Buttercream, Successful Stacking, and Boxes and Bows. Love them all, and have watched them several times.
Thanks again.

Hi Sharon,
I just made my first butter cream cake using the techniques and recipe in your DVD. Your instructions made it so easy. My first creation didn’t turn out perfectly perfect, but I am very pleased with it. It turned out looking better by far than the techniques I used previous to watching your DVD.
Thank you for providing me with easy to follow instructions. You possess a real talent for teaching!

My Own Personal Cake Wrecks
I did not want to go away for the weekend and leave you guys on the heels of the negativity of yesterday’s post. Wendy is always telling me to work on having positive chi. Or maybe she said she likes chai tea. I am not sure. But anyway, in order to lighten my aura, and drive out the negative energy (and to calm down Janel Waters, tee hee)….I leave you with some very good news.
Take a look at these babies:
My first couple of attempts at a topsy turvy cake style. The fondant on the one above literally just slid down the side of the cake. I had a good 2 inches of fondant under those folds at the bottom.
Bulges galore, more saggy fondant. A total nightmare.So what is the good news? Very soon I am going to teach you how not to do this. I promise. Because these cakes made me cry. And I do not want you to cry.
Ah yes, I feel better now. Much more chi-a-fied.
See ya next week kids!
Sharon
