I have done many wedding cakes, but yesterday was the first non-family member I have done. I wasn't happy with the cake, as I usually am not happy with my cakes. I saw all the flaws, leans, crooked parts. Then, I am worried I didn't...

Does anybody else have problems with Wilton products or is it just me? I just feel like they are putting out c***. I bought a leveler - one of the big ones and spent more time than ever making my cake level. What a waste of $20. I...

Do you have kids? Were they jumping around the oven? Or did you move the pan while it was still cooking? I get that problem, too, and usually it is because there is a lot of movement in the house. The vibrations makes the cake fall. ...

I haven't done it yet, but will be doing it tomorrow. I am just using a silver frame the bride gave me that is a 2"x3" frame with a picture of her and her fiance in it. I am just going to put it on top of the cake and have a few small...

I mix wilton and vodka and it works well for me. I would NOT use water, that will gunk up your cake. Use vodka or another alcohol so that it evaporates. Be sure it is quite thin or you will clog your airbrush and it won't spray...

Do you want the tombstone to be cake? If you don't, I would use styrofoam and cover it with fondant. If you do, just be sure to dowel it well for supports. Also, I would put the cake over a dowel screwed into a board so that it...

I have done so many cakes that I think to myself "I'm a hack and I can not believe people are paying for my c@#p". In the last two months I have had more mishaps than in the last 3 years. But, luckily, today I had a success and I...

I looked at Indydebi's recipe and it looks good. But, question. With the Dream Whip, does it make it whipped creamy? That was the other thing she didn't want was a whipped icing, either. If it is, I'll try Callyssas icing. Thanks...

I have a cake order for this Saturday. Today, the client wants to change the icing because the bride (it's for a bridal shower) does not like buttercream. She likes "sugar icing". We are covering the cake in Fondant and the filling is...

I would imagine it is still good. As long as it hasn't seperated, it should be fine. Someone else may know better, but I would still use it.
