I like to do 2 tone bows. I use two different colors of fondant (with Tylose added to it), roll it out and cut my strips. I glue the strips together with a paintbrush and water. Loop it, pinch the ends and then each loop on it's side. I...

I made a bananas foster cake using this recipe, the original Bananas Foster recipe. I made the sauce, then added it to taste, to IMBC. It was SO YUMMY. I made a butter rum cake, with a soaking of simple syrup/rum sauce, and banana...
