Yet is right. It just hasn't been around long enough.

If you want to see what people getting their panties in a wad REALLY looks like, go read any comments on any yahoo news article. This is nursery school in comparison.

You're right, these comments are nothing compare to the yahoo one's. Sometimes I skip the entire news article just to read the comments!

You make me laugh lol but I guess for some people just starting out and learning these forms can be a real lifesaver, i've spent maybe 3 hours tonight reading over pages and pages of info from what colours to killers lol :)

 

Truely stunning what how wrong you can go with a cake :?

I'm glad you've posted this and added the letter. But unfortunately, most will. However, I do agree with someone else that all counties in every state should add this to the cottage food law list of No, No's. I'll be forwarding this on on my FB too, thanks!

I would also prefer to eat dd rather than a McRib. That is some really nasty stuff! And I have never seen it written here (may have to look up a thread) tha the floral foil isn't approved, but I always suspected there is something not right about slapping your cake directly on it. The color leaches into a cake, and easily wipes off onto a towel, or your finger. I use it, but I ALWAYS put a board under my cake. The place I used to work still uses it directly under cake. 

I would rather not eat a McRib or DD and hope I never am forced to pick! Lol. I can see why people don't mind eating either MCRibs or DD, but I would not want to eat either.

At least with a McRib the average person is on notice that what they're eating is highly processed (as ribless ribs do not naturally occur in nature) and unhealthy (because its fast food). I did not know DD was plastic and I bake and decorate cakes. I don't expect the average person to know this. I suspect that the average person would think that the DD was in the same edible category as sprinkles or jimmies, and not in the inedible category of things you'd find on a cake, like cake wire, which an average person would not knowingly bite into.

GSA sells FDA approved florist foil, which is what I use, but who knows. I guess we can just try to make things as safe as possible but there are no guarantees. That said, if I ever used DD on the edible parts of cake, I'd put a warning sign next to the cake. It's okay for me to make the informed choice to ingest DD but I don't think it's fair to make that choice for every person who eats a slice. **Actually, thinking about this further, the sign might be removed, so I do not think I would ever put DD on the edible portion of a cake.

for what it's worth and for possibly any newbies and while we're sort of on that subject

 

wrapping paper is also a big no no

 

it is printed with inks not meant to ingest of course

 

like printing icing sheets in regular ink printers

 

just a further thought

 

they sure are pretty and add a lot of pizzazz but yeah no

 

not for safety's sake

 

which leads me to this thought

 

be safe your self, cakers

 

wear goggles and simple face mask for airbrushing and dusting

 

when mixing confectioner's sugar icing and adding flour to the mixer when the dust cloud rises

 

don't breath that

 

and watch it when you spray the grease-the-pan sprays

 

don't breath that either

 

srsly

 

you only get the one pair of lungs

 

for the most part

Cakepro - I don't know what the cake decorating glitter is like in the USA, but the stuff here is actually plastic, not metal. Its still not edible, but it doesn't feel grainy like regular glitter, which makes it presumably easier to ingest!!

mmm...It was my understanding that it was made of magical unicorn farts. And the elves put it through their enchanted blender to make it all sprinkly.

Dip your dang finger in the pot and stick in your mouth. Grind the little pieces with your front teeth. That should clear things up for those still in doubt.

That just made my teeth scream.

Aye carumba!

Yummo!
