Would it be possible to convince this bride to "settle" for buttercream with some fondant accents? I would just explain to her that with SUCH short notice that MMF would be extremely difficult for you to accomplish, especially since it...

Tarabara, I THINK that the technique that cakeyouverymuch has so beautifully executed on her cakes is called "Bas Relief". If you Google "bas relief cakes" you can see several photos of the technique and there may even be a tutorial or...

LOL!! Well...after you have sufficiently "buried your face in it", if it just so happens that I, along with many others were wrong in our estimation of it edibility, I guarantee you that it will NOT take a "couple of days" for you to...

I, too, would eat it. The custard was cooked, to a temperature hot enough to destroy any bacteria in the eggs (also known as pasteurization). Plus, you are right about sugar and citric acid being preservatives. Further, it's not as if...

I agree with the no more emails thinking..Then, when she contacts you again, just explain that you had emailed her with a final deadline of Wednesday and when that date came and went with no response from her, that you assumed that she...

I guess it must depend on the coating that you are using. I use the chocolate bark from Kroger grocery store and add a tiny amount of shortening when I melt it so that it thins it a bit. Then I take them directly out of the freezer and...
