Hello, bakers, I found great on-line class tutorials at www.craftsy.com The classes are usually $39.99, but they are running a special at $19.99 – once you purchase a class, you can sign in as many times as you want, watch the videos over and over, download materials lists, instructions, etc. I purchased the class on “Handcrafted Sugar Flowers” by Jacqueline Butler and “Advanced Fondant Techniques” by Marina Sousa.
