According to the comments, Susan Trianos has a tutorial for the billowing technique coming up in the Jan/Feb issue of Cake Central Magazine!
tiggy2- im not on fb. I had to give it up once i joined cc. I would wake up and spend half my day on fb and the other half here so i had to make a choice and give one up. Guess which one i couldn't live with out anyhow, if anybody knows how to do this or find the tutorial please let us know
It's under Andreas Sweet Cakes
For those of us not on FB, is there any other way of finding this tutorial?
Andrea stated on her flickr account that she's not going to do a tutorial on this techniques because it's not 'hers' to do!
I think the only source for a tutorial is to wait for "cake central" magazine to come out!
I thought I'd be helpful and look it up in facebook for those who don't have a facebook account, but I can't find it on there either! dsilvest or tiggy, are you able to post a direct link to facebook please?

Andrea isn't, but this lady is: Susan Trianos General Mills. That's who I was asking about. (Sorry I didn't make that more clear.)

The tutorial is not on here. This is just her Facebook account.
You know, a while back, last summer maybe, a lady here on CC did a gorgeous dummy cake in pink using this very same "billowing" technique. I can't remember who she was though, I'm wondering it that's one of the two gals mentioned here though. Does anyone remember that?

just search "Susan Trianos General Mills" in the search field at the top of your facebook page. It comes right up. You can't see her wall though unless you are her friend. So I don't know if she has any kind of tutorial there. You can see her pictures and she has another great example of a cake with the billowing. I friend requested her and will let you know when she responds.
Here's Andrea's facebook page http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=17128438765#!/group.php?gid=17128438765&v=info
AHA I found it: http://cakecentral.com/gallery/1678457
My question is, after it was stolen (yes, some competitor STOLE her entry) was it ever retrieved?
The tutorial is not on either of their facebooks. I will be in the new Cake Central magazine only right now.
do you mean literally picked up the cake and took it away....???? *gobsmacked*
That's what she says in her comments on that picture. I know, some people have NO CLASS AT ALL!!
To my knowledge it was never recovered. Not sure if the theives were ever caught either.
That's really horrible. I mean, really, would it kill them to ASK for instructions or TRY to figure it out themselves???? That's the second most horrible competition story I've ever heard. (The first being a lady who did very intricate stringwork on a cake and the hubby of her biggest competition came over and waved his arm in the direction of her cake, thus ruining the stringwork!) People are really slimy sometimes!
Bob, i cant believe that somebody store her cake
looking at it close the billowing looks like strip that are puffed in the middle and pinched on the sides (did i explain it right?). I've seen the review about the magazine so i'll just drive about an hour out of my way and get the mag at my cake store when it comes out.
Here's a video step-by-step by a brilliant cake-maker called Elaine Thomas

Looking closely at those pics, I wonder if it's not marshmallows, or something light like that, with little sheets of very thin gumpaste wrapped over it and pinched at the ends to kind of pleat the sides.
relznik, looking at this link, i do believe this is the technique used on the cake . I was thinking that was how it is done, using the dresden and veining tool. It sure looks the same.
