Hi Anne. I am 11 years old, and I absolutely love your videos. I am just asking what brands should I use for the plastic bags in the piping hacks video?
Hi Vincenza, Ann used the glad brand but other brands are good too. Choose strong ones.

Hi Ann, I have just discovered your website and have subscribed of course! I think you are totally amazing working so hard with your website and raising three children, you must have the engergy of at least 3 women!! I adore cooking, mainly savoury dishes and have developed recipes like you. I went through a few years of my life going down the ‘dunny’ as you say, where I lost everything because of my ex’s financial infidelity and lost my motivation. But seeing what you are doing has given me the motivation to pick myself up and get on with it again. I am British and now living in North Carolina USA, so hopefully I can start again. It is hard because I left my kids back in England. They are grown and live and work in London and I love them to bits! Thanks again Ann, I am totally addicted to your website and have spent the last few days watching your video’s and spreading the word – oh what joy!! You are the best Julie ;o) xxx
That was so touching thank you for sharing that! 🙂
Hi Julie, It sounds like you have had a tough time in the past. We hope things have really turned a corner and you can pursue what you enjoy. All the best with your plans.
Thank you soooo much Ann, I was stressing that I don’t have the right equipments for my frosting décor. Interesting!
