As if my inexperience with photography wasn't enough, I've decided to take on video. "Take on video" by propping my camera on a box and pressing the video button. Then fiddling with the free software on my computer. So forgive the quality (or rather, lack thereof). Pretend I'm speaking louder in that second part.
I started with something super-easy: My sparkly marshmallow pops dressed up for New Year's with some curling ribbon. If I improve my video skills I'll try something a little more tricky.
The videos will all demonstrate techniques covered in my new book, Sugarlicious. Which by the way, you can preorder HERE. Just in case you haven't preordered it yet. And the best part? I'm going to attempt to keep them under 2 minutes. Why? Because I know what it's like to be swamped and have little patience for long videos. So here's your first 1 minute and 42 seconds (I don't know why the screen is black, but it should work, if not, you can watch HERE at YouTube):
You can also watch at You Tube HERE.

ReplyDeletehello, how far in advance could I make these?
ReplyDeleteThank you all so much! Beagoodmom, hopefully you'll come back here since I couldn't find an email for you... While marshmallows dry out pretty quickly in open air, the sprinkles and water form a sort of coating that makes them last a bit longer. Ideally you'd make these the morning before serving, but you can make them the day before too, but for added security, after they dry an hour or two, I'd lay them in a big tupperware container lined with parchment paper.
