I am at beginner level when it comes to decorating. This bag made it so easy. Love it!

Bag is entirely too small, horrible! Icing was coming out both ends, used chocolate icing and the bag appears to be stained permantly! I think I will be returning it! Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm, No, I will be returning it!

Good product. As Grandma, I was enlisted to make a Winnie the Pooh cake just a week before my little granddaughter's second birthday party. Having always done designs free-hand and with a little help from the old icing tubes bought in the stores, I decided it was time to get something real quick and a whole lot better for future years of birthday cakes! The price was perfect and the product arrived quickly. I found it to be very easy to use. Some people found it hard to clean, but if you use hot water right away it cleans up darn good. I also had some black icing, but was still able to get it clean without any trouble. I love the tips and had a ball using this decorating set. It also made things go quicker so I could get off my feet sooner and enjoy the compliments later!!

I will buy again. this is a great product. this is just like the professional bakers use in their shops. excellent!!

This product came quickly. It's inexpensive and sure to last a long time! Very pleased!

I read about a little tip for keeping this together! Use 2" binder clips to hold it all together. I know that you should not have to, but from what I have read, it works! I am going to order one because I want pretty sides. Hope this works!

The pieces keep falling out. I have tried many things to keep the pieces in place long enough to do a quick pattern on my cake but nothing worked. This is a waste of time and money.

I purchased these thinking they would make lovely sides on my cakes. I have been making cakes for about 5 years and can't stand these things. They don't work correctly or if you are getting it to work they want to slip in the holder causing a mess in the icing. It is not worth the $$

The pieces do fall out, and you have to use a LOT of icing. I still haven't been able to get it to work right... I don't know what the trick is, but this is not as easy as it looks. If anyone has any tips, I'd appreciate it!

I was very disappointed with this product. when it said it included an instruction book I though it would show you what pieces to but together to create the different designs but it don't it's a guessing game. Also the pieces fall out of the handle when using it or slide back into the handle. If I could return it I would. Not worth the money I spent on it.

Very well documented, The step by step is in detail and the DVD is concentrated in the hands of the artist all the time that makes it easier to focus on the steps. As all her products love it

I bought this for my daughter's 2nd birthday party that I did of Whinnie the Pooh. These were soo yummy that my daughter ate off the cake as we were singing Happy Birthday. I bought them two weeks in advance and they were very fresh.

I bought these because I bought the BeeHive cake tin. I glued them to some floppy wires and stuck them in the beehive cake I made. So cute !!! These are not for eating, just decorating, so remove them before you sliced up the beehive cake. You can use these over and over. I put them in a little cardboard box to keep them safe until my next beehive cake.

These are awesome! They are just too cute on the beehive cake! I ordered more than I meant to, but they won't go to waste!

I bought these sugar bees to decorate a bee hive shaped cake for my daughter-in-law's baby shower. They are very cute and taste great too. Everyone loved the cake and said the bees were perfect!

This package of care bear figures arrived so quickly, I was very impressed! All the figures are in excellent shape, packaged well, and cute, cute, cute! I will do business with [...] again, if I need toys. Thanks !

I ordered these to go on my daughters birthday cake and when I received them I found that they are amazingly small. Cute but too small to be used on a cake and a couple of them do not stand up well.

I used these to make a Care Bear Cake and they were the perfect size to put on a 12" cake

Glad to find the product. Made my grandson very happy for his 4th birthday, but felt that it was a little pricy.

This was the perfect cake topper for my daughter's Aloha Scooby Doo birthday party! Our favorite bakery did not offer a Scooby Doo cake, but they did have a Lilo and Stitch cake complete with hawaiian hibiscus flowers, palm trees and surfboards! We asked them to swap the Lilo and Stitch figures for the Scooby Doo cake toppers, and the results were perfect! Many parents asked where we bought the Scooby cake. Scooby is very popular with the kindergarten set these days. I ordered it online, and it arrived promptly in time for me to deliver it to the bakery prior to party day. My daughter is keeping the figures as sourvenirs from her party!

As mentioned by others, this set is a little on the small side, but it isn't really meant to decorate the whole cake. With a little icing and creativity, this set can become the centerpiece of a well-decorated cake.

It was not as large as I had thought it would be but cute and all in all a good purchase. Not exactly priced right for what you get though.

Product is very very small and as far as "in motion" goes, the two figures have a rounded bottom and rock if pushed, that's it...and you can't rock them if they are on a cake, I thought for this amount of money they would at least be mechanical and turn on the cake or do something that resembles "motion"

I was looking forward to using these at my sons birthday party on May 2nd. I ordered on April 20th, it's now May 5th and they still haven't arrived. I'm very dissapointed.

Surprisingly these were very durable and my daughter liked them so much that she kept a bunch to continue to use as finger puppets. Very cute!

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of these cupcake picks. They are a very sturdy coated material with vibrant colors. The kids just adored them and they made the cupcakes look extremely professional! I'd order these again if they came in other characters. Shipping was very quick.

The Backyardigans cupcake toppers worked wonderfully. The kids were able to keep them after they ate their cupcakes and use them as finger puppets.

These Backyardigans cupcake picks were adorable! They were better than I had imagined and all of the kids loved them. This was for a 1st Birthday Party but there were kids of all ages in attendance. In fact kids were asking if they came in other versions for their parties.

Cake Decorating for the 1st Time, is a neatly and creatively pieced together book. While the last few pages contains a colorful catalog of some of Jaynie's work, be aware this book's focus is far from wowing you with many pictures of cakes that are far beyond your skill level or with no instructions. Jaynie goes into detailed, step by step instructions in each chapter telling the novice just how to decorate a cake with simple and short, yet precise directions. Each step comes with near flawless color photography guiding the reader along. The meat of the book covers many tips and tricks used by the pros that can easily be mastered by us mere mortals; such as how to make fondant, ganache, how to decorate a bundt cake, or how to make gum paste as well as some suggestions as to what to do with each; while the first bit of the book goes over tools of the trade, again accompanied with photographs. At the start of each chapter, the reader is provided with a list of ingredients and other supplies that will be needed to complete the chapter's project, which is what each chapter basically is. Quite simple and concise, yet wonderfully decorative Cake Decorating really does make decorating your cake like the pro's a breeze. At this low price (at least at the time of this review) I'd recommend purchasing Cake Decorating for the 1st Time if you are new to cake decorating and looking to go the next mile. Here's wishing you well on your baking endeavors.

For most things, the instructions are clear and easy to follow- great for learning the basics. However, something is wrong with the chocolate cake recipe. It tells you add 1/4 CUP cinnamon (although the picture shows what looks like a 1 tsp) and no where in the directions does it tell you to add sugar. This is the only mistake I've found so far, but I haven't tried everything yet.
