I'm also with the 'no one touches my cake' crowd. I'm a little shy about some things, but not when it comes to flowers/branches in my cake. I don't care how many times you wash a hydrangea, it's still poisonous, and the majority of...

I've used it, and I do like it. I did notice I could get my flowers much more delicate, but it's so expensive compared to gumpaste...

You can use your gel or paste colors to color it. As long as the AC is going, transportation shouldn't be an issue. I keep my in an airtight container just sitting out, but I'm in San Diego, so the fridge is probably a good idea where...

Definitely put the photo up and tag him. I had that happen to me also. I'm still steamed 8 years later! Chef took credit for my fondant figures ( 8 figures as main decorations) in a competition (teamwork allowed), after winning first...

For me it depends on what icing I am working with. I crumb coat with buttercream, no crumb coat with nondairy whipped frosting. It also depends on if I'm doing a chocolate cake, those have so many crumbs... Really, unless you are...

I did mine out of gelatin. Used a 3-d chocolate shoe mold by painting the mold with gelatin and put the two halves together with piping gel, hiding the seam with a little rainbow glitter. Heat doesn't bother it.
