Is the amount of powdered sugar correct, you have listed 4.5 cups and shouldn't it be pounds? Just wondering.

I have used liquid food coloring in my red velvet cakes for 47 years and have never had a problem with it. In fact I now buy it by the quart from Restaurant Depot but if you have a Gordon Food Service near you they may be able to order...

I had a lady that works for Publix take Wilton's Fondant class as Publix was going to put fondant cakes into their line up. They wanted to do dummy cakes for display and of course, someone would need to know how to work with and use the...

You can use any fondant on the cake and freeze it with no mishaps. One of the Wilton trainers worked for a company in Canada that made one of Princess Diana's wedding cakes and they froze it. I have done it before but, only 1 time.

My suggestion is to cook the ball cake on 325, move the rack in the oven down one and use a metal flower nail to convey the heat to the middle of the cake. I don't know how long it will take to bake but you can look at it after about 30...

I always use pink to get a good color in and then either use Wilton No Taste Red or Americolor's Red. Works great and leav it set for about 1/2 hour and you will see that it has darkened up. If not the shade you need just add some more...
