I have taken all the Wilton classes, but there was a lot I didn't learn in the class and I don't live in an area where other classes are available. I figured at first it was my buttercream (which I did chill after putting on my cake),...

I had the same problem with my MMF but now I add more p/s than I think I need, usually the whole 2 lb bag and my MMF turns out much better now. I don't get near as many air bubbles when rolling it out and the texture is soft and smooth,...

I made a birdcage cake for a shower I'm throwing for my friend tomorrow. I used buttercream (a recipe I thought was a crusting buttercream) instead of ganache, because I thought the dome top would be easier to smooth out. Well, I have...

Thank you!

I've made a fondant covered cake with raspberry buttercream underneath. I used raspberry preserves (the pie filling kind) and that's the only thing in the buttercream I'm worried about being perishable. The shower is tomorrow night. Can...
