in the sense it's fully published and out there in the news cycle

 

not that it establishes the standard for everyone to follow

 

but yeah raw egg whites

Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude. icon_redface.gif But we all know that there are people who think it must be ok if it's on tv. Like that commercial with the French model - bonjour. 

 

And I suppose, if I think about it, people use royal icing made with raw egg whites all the time. Or did, before someone (I'm guessing an American) came up with meringue powder.

This is the cake I ended up making

 

It does not have a very finished professional look but I was happy with it considering that it was my first time ever making and decorating a cake!

WOW!!! It looks GREAT! Yes, there have been "more finished" looking cakes, but I have seen much worse coming from "professional" bakers. This is really fantastic for a first, or 50th cake. I can't wait to see how good you get once the decorating bug gets his chompers in you, and you get real serious ;-)

I would rather make 1 cake for $150, than 3 for $50 each.

The person who works for nothing will always have plenty to do!

My sarcasm is good-humored. People generally really like me, in person ;-)

I think that almost anything can be done with the right help and advice, I only started making cakes 10 months ago as I wanted to make one for my dads 50th. This was my first ever cake, I had done general baking before but no decorating what so ever, I research a lot, I had no idea about any different icings, had never heard of modelling pastes or flower pastes, but thanks to a lot of good advice this was the end result of my first cake

Would love to see how your cake turned out icon_smile.gif

I was going to comment "scroll to the end, and you'll see it!" But then, I scrolled to the end and saw that you saw it ;-)

You can buy pasteurized egg whites. I haven't seen his recipe but im guessing it could be substituted and still not heated.
