I guess I don't know what marking the fondant means.  Do you think you could ganache and fondant on Thursday?    Those things aside...it is probably fine to ganache on Wednesday; I am probably overly concerned with...

How much detail is there to add after you put on the fondant?  If there is not a lot, I would think ganache on Thursday and fondant/finish on Friday. 

Thanks for the reply! I understand what you mean re adjusting the size for different tiers.  I'm attaching the look I'm trying to achieve (from rosebakes.com), which is just a chevron pattern on one tier.  I'm really...

I use my large rimless cookie sheets to move around these larger layers. Much easier than trying to pick up with my hands. I have torted a 16" round with no problem and was able to slide the cookie sheet where I had sliced to torte. Hope...

What about something like this...making the pearls (fondant balls) in her colors? The fondant balls can take a while, but I do them sometimes just while sitting in front of the tv. Let them dry a little then roll in pearl dust. ...

Thanks all! I have not had success with the vodka/luster dust mix, but it was Wilton and maybe I didn't have the consistency right. It was a grainy streaky mess. I think I'll give the Duff airbrush color a try. If that doesn't work...

Does anyone know if this gold finish can be achieved with a luster dust/vodka mix? Or do I need to order some kind of product containing real gold?I found a product on Amazon called "Old Gold" luster dust. Is anyone familiar with this...
