@Deano I think you should re-title that channel *whatDeanofindsskillful

It's odd this is taken out while this was in there http://videosift.com/video/The-Making-of-Dodo-Bird-Cake. Any average sculptor can form fondant. This lady's technique is truly innovative. Plus all of her cake is edible and made out of materials that don't taste like sugar paste. What do I know though...

Hey! Tristan Stoch! I know that kid! Helped with publicity as he scrambled to make a movie here in Port Townsend -- went on to win some awards and get picked for several film festivals.

Small world.

And yeah. I'm with Lann -- skillful really seems warranted. I have never seen a cake built like that. An amazing combination of innovation and art and... cake.

And Deano is right to toss out a lot of the skillful stuff that ends up on his channel. Don't agree with him on this one, though.

Wow, those cakes are awesome

This isn't skillful but breaking a wine glass with your voice by following simple instructions on how to do so... is?

The definition of skillful is: Having or showing skill. What determines what is classified as a "skill" is somewhat subjective, but I think most people can look at a video like this and say: "Damn, that lady has got skillz in the cakez departmentz." Most people would say exactly that phrase.

Deano seems to append the modifier "extraordinary" inconsistently. Tyrant King of Skillful channel I beseech the, right your wrong. You can even re-re-recon your dodo cake vid back into your skillful channel as a cosmic offering.

Ask yourself: Can the average person execute the activity presented by the video in question without a great deal of experience (in this case) and/or serendipitous luck from the skill gods (in the case of other skillful tagged candidates dealing with physical prowess and manual dexterity, etc). If the answer is no, then it's most likely skillful.

This is skillful.

Kinda like sand sculpture on the beach.

...only fattening.
