I have 4 dozen 3.5" round cookies sitting on my counter waiting to be packaged. The problem is that they don't fit in the 4x6" Wilton bags. I guess I wasn't thinking when I ordered them. They are for a shower on Saturday so I don't have...

Great! So, as long as i am successful at getting the fur on the cake (keep the bag cool), the "hairs" will hold their shape and not melt into each other?

Im making a monster cake this weekend and would prefer to use smbc, but I'm not sure if it can hold the detail. Ive piped borders and such with no problem, but I'm nervous about using a grass tip. I just thought I'd ask the experts...

Does anyone know why pound cake recipes tend to get the tough sugary crust on top? Is it possible to prevent it? I use a great recipe for a loaf pound cake and it is near perfect (taste, texture etc) except the top and I'm too...

Ive tried smbc with cream cheese and it was delicious. Just wondering if there are any other options out there that don't involve powdered sugar. Has anyone ever added cream cheese to a southern cooked frosting perhaps?

Hmmmm..... I've made hard lollipops for years and years and I've never used more than a dram of flavoring per batch (1 cup sugar). If you are used to store bought flavors, is it possible that you are just missing the tartness factor? If...

Two things worked for me. First, stop using craft store candy melts. I switched to a brand called bada bing bada boom (I think). I found them at chocoley.com. They are great.Second, when you dip, do a little tap tap tap on the side of...
