i forgot to ask you in my other reply--how did you go about making the face mask? thanks, patty

OH MY!!! You are unbelievable! Your cakes are just gorgeous. I'm afraid I'm nowhere near your skill level but I appreciate your sharing--am going to give it a try. did you color your fondant by hand or use an airbrush?

can anyone advise me on how to make a 3-D football helmet cake? i'd like to cover it in fondant. it needs to be navy blue--i don't have an airbrush and could also use some advice on getting such a dark color on it evenly. thank you

i feel your pain. sounds like a similar night i just had. you mentioned the lumpy and bumpy fondant--what causes that? is it the thickness of the fondant or something with the icing? have had a lot of trouble with it lately

i thought perhaps the fondant was too thick, ie too heavy, but then i could see every bump in the cake --??? the corners started to get that elephant look, too. maybe it was the buttercream. i like the taste of that simple buttercream,...

can anyone help me prevent this from happening again? i was making a "present" cake--three 6 inch layers with buttercream filling and icing. i used the same buttercream i always have--just butter, powdered sugar , milk and vanilla. ...

i want to make a coach purse cake and have seen pictures where the "C" logo looks exactly like a real bag. can anyone tell me how to do this?--thanks

if you do split the cake how much simple syrup do you use to moisten the cake?

I have a novice's question perhaps some experienced cake decorators can answer. am making a tiered cake and am using 2 inch deep pans. do i need to split and fill the cakes or can I use two cakes with a filling in between? thanks
