Hi Ann,
I love your videos! I have used them as a guide to bake many of my cakes and they have never failed me. I would love to see how to make an ‘Iron Throne’ cake from Game of Thrones! (my bf’s birthday is coming up and I would like to surprise him!)
Thanks so much, you have taught me alot!

Hi Anne, I really love your site. It makes baking fun and interesting for me. I learned a lot. I feel like I’m a Pro every time I finished some of the cakes you posted.
How I wish to have a print copy of every recipe you made. Thank you and God bless you always. — Angie
thanks Angie
Hi Anne, I’ve nearly watched all your videos and guess what… I made most of them too. You’ve inspired me Anne, I’m only 11 you know. My faviroute cake is snickers bar cake. (Though I’m allergiced to nuts…) I started baking after watching your videos on YouTube.
Thanks a lot

HI Ann will you please make a birthday card out of chocolate please

My daughter and I stumbled upon your site and unbelievable app! She is a big dragon fan… So fun to see her so tickled by the dragons flying in, out and around. Magic! Thank you!
Awesome Leslie glad to hear it.
Hi Ann,
I am a huge fan of yours. Last weekend we created a 4 Tier Princess Castle Cake for one of my girlfriends, daughters, 5th Birthday. We purchased your “Surprise Cake App” and it was a hit!
Your talent and creativity is beyond words. I love how your tutorials can be attempted by those of us who don’t have a “Cake Decorators” kitchen.
Before we opened our our cake business, we purchased your Thomas Train and Cars Cakes templates (my 1 year old LOVES Thomas and Friends). I also made your Hunger Games Mocking Bird cake for my daughter (13), who is a huge Hunger Games fan too. She reckons she is going to name her first born Katniss… LOL.
Please find attached.
I have shared this on our FB Business Page – https://www.facebook.com/williamscakedesigns (a special mention of you is on there too).
“THANK YOU” for sharing your amazing vision with us!
Warmest Regards,
Rima
Hi! Ann, I can’t download the app because my parents don’t allow me to. But I can tell that the app is really good and it is really fun. I love all of the chocolate stuff you do on your YouTube channel because I am a big fan of chocolate. 🙂

How to make chocolate blackberry phone

Hi amrsi have you seen this post on chocoalte flowers? https://www.howtocookthat.net/public_html/how-to-make-a-chocolate-flower/
hi Ann! I’m going to say something like Yoli said :)) . My dady’s birthday is coming and i wanted to make him a cake in form of a bottle of whisky so I asked him which one he preffers and unfortunately he said blue label king size. :)))) maybe it is easy for you but i think blue label is easier than king size . idk! :))) however i want to make it anyway so i need a little help. i reaaly don’t know which color to choose, how to make the cork stopper, how to write on the cake,etc. i want it to seem real because is not a kid but my dad. 🙁 and i hope you can suggest me a recipe. please help. i would be very happy if you can make this cake. best wishes for you. 🙂
Hi Nursi, if you want to do the detailed writing it would be easiest to get it printed on an edible icing sheet and then add it onto the cake. To make it look glass you’d need to work with isomalt.
Coin Sponsors present the Unity Cosa/sArrni. You may remember Sandra and Nick (the Spanish wedding) also shared this tradition. They share the same symbolism in both cultures,

Hey Ann, do you think you could make chocolate conversation hearts for mini cupcakes for Valentine’s Day?
Thanks!
Hi Ann,
I just saw your new amazing video and the app looks great, but I can’t download it in my country. Will it be available in Serbia soon?
Hi tanya, I will have to check that on the app store we ticked available in all countries so I am not sure why that is.
