Name That DVD!

Hello everyone! We had a very busy week shooting our next DVD. I want to thank my dear friend Heather, and my son D, for assisting in the shooting this time. I really could not do it without that extra set of hands and eyes, so thank you both so much!

I thought you guys might like to see a few behind the scenes shots of us filming in my kitchen.

Video Specialties comes to my home with 3 cameras, a monitor and on site mixer. That allows us to get shots and close ups from 3 different angles while I am working.

To the left you can see the main camera, the one I look into when I am speaking to you. The one to the right takes closeups when I work on that side of the cake.

Here is the mixer and monitor that Todd, my video guy, and my assistant ( Wendy, Heather, or D) watch to see how the shot will look on TV. This way we can ensure that the instruction can be seen well, with nothing blocking the view on screen.



Here I am doing a little prep work off camera. (Oh my, look at that chicken neck on me! Ack!) This is the 9th video we have done, and we have gained a lot of experience along the way. We strive to keep the quality we are known for high, while throwing in a few new things to keep it interesting for you.

Here I am at the end of the two day shoot with the finished cake. (No chicken neck in this one, whew.)

The aftermath. And guess what; it still looks like this because I had a cake order for this weekend and did not have time to clean up the carnage. That is on today's agenda. Fun Saturday! LOL

Chocolate champagne bottle and handmade candies.

Stenciled fleur de lis motif. I have to admit I just adore this. This purse handle mold will be available for purchase exclusively through SugarEd Productions when the DVD is released.

But we need a name for the DVD! Contest time! Submit your ideas for the name in the comment section, and earn a chance to win a free DVD when it is released (hopefully in about 6-8 weeks).

We are trying to get the DVDs you have requested out to you as fast as we can, while maintaining the high quality we are known for. Next DVD shoot in 4 weeks!

Thank you, as always, for your loyalty and support of SugarEd Productions.

Happy Caking!

Sharon
