      Hello Customer,

      Thank you for contacting us.

      After a live event, the prerecording will be placed back on the site in 24 to 48 hours after ward. You can watch it now.

      Best regards,

    I wish someone would send info out more on the membership and fees. Does it work the same as it did before blueprint shut down? Are you able to watch all classes. I have googled and still can not find enough info. I thought when I signed up that someone would eventually send more details in how the new Craftsy memberships work.

      I became a premium member again and I believe it is the same as before where I can watch all the classes. However, there aren’t any more freebies such as free project kits. Watch for the flash sales in your email where you can get a whole year of premium membership for $2.49!!

    I’m hoping we can watch a recorded session for Australian subscribers. I don’t fancy getting up in the middle of the night to watch. ☹️

    Hi I’m from Australia, with reference to your sugar comment.
    We call regular sugar as granulated sugar, then caster sugar is a fine version to granulated and then we call Icing sugar and Icing mixture (confectioners sugar)

    Using Almond milk as a substitute for milk, it does not contain the same types of fat. What can be added to the recipe to make up for not using milk? Also what non-dairy ingredient can be substituted for heavy cream?

    Wondering about “leaf lard” versus butter for a pie crust, which do you prefer or a combination of both in dessert pies versus meat pies?

    We own and have tried something from all your classes. We love everything we’ve tried, but find they don’t stay fresh very long. What’s the best way to store them and what items last the longest?

    How about your thoughts on when pre-baking or par-baking either store bought or homemade puff pastry? When is it recommended?

    Question: What is the BEST substitue for butter? This is for those of us who are either lactose-intolerant OR who maintain kosher households.

    Once tried lemon meringue pie when I was young — and have been afraid to try it since! What are your tips for a bold, fluffy meringue and avoiding an “eggy” taste in the filling?
