If there's one website that is the most underutilized by anyone who has a desire to learn how to do anything...it's YouTube! I didn't really think too much about this until my sister brought it up in conversation today.
I have always been one of those people who would much rather do tons of research & then try something new all by myself instead of asking for help (or taking a class). Therefore, if I want to know how to do something, I usually turn to the one place that almost always comes through each & every time...YouTube!
I was talking to my sister about not feeling confident in doing cake decorating and she pulled a fast one on me by saying "Why don't you just watch it on YouTube...just last weekend, you watched a video on how to cut your own hair & then just did it! I'm sure decorating a cake isn't anything compared to cutting your own hair!" And while this is true...I did watch videos on how to cut my own hair...and then I did, in fact, cut my own hair...somehow, the task of decorating a cake seems a bit more daunting due to the fact that I would be decorating it for someone other than myself.
I am quite aware that if I ever want to have a business in sweets, I must conquer my fear & just go for it...even if I fall flat on my face (into a tub of delicious buttercream frosting), I can just smooth it over & try again.
Now, without further ado, I present to you a few of the things I have learned on YouTube!
1) how to knit
2) how to make the perfect swiss meringue buttercream
3) how to cut my own hair
4) how to make homemade butter
So, there you have it...if there's something you want to learn, just YouTube it!!!
