“I have taken a few courses on buttercream flowers, but Back to Basics Buttercream Flowers completely blew me away. it is by far the best investment I have ever made. Joanna takes you step by step through every essential detail that transforms “nice” flowers into truly stunning, realistic ones. From the very first lesson, I felt like she was giving me all the missing pieces I had been searching for. Her buttercream recipe and tips instantly made sense, and for the first time I felt confident in my flowers. The section on colour theory was a revelation. It could easily be a full course on its own, yet she included it here and it completely opened my eyes to how much more natural and beautiful my flowers could be. And the way she explains each flower, step by step, is unlike anything I have seen before, so clear, so detailed, and so encouraging. What impressed me most was how she even shows you how to adjust the most commonly used piping tips so they work like the Asian piping tips. Since those are not easy for me to find locally, this was such a thoughtful and practical solution that made all the difference. This course is not just the best, it is inspiring. It gave me the knowledge, clarity, and confidence I had been missing, and I know it will do the same for anyone who takes it. Whether you are a beginner just starting out or a professional looking to refine your skills, this course will elevate your work. ”
