OK, so I posted some time back in one of the forum posts about how I achieve sharp edges on fondant, and while for the most part my technique is much the same, I am always learning how to do things better and I’ve changed some things. Here are some examples of cakes I’ve done using this method:

I like to use a thick, flexible aluminium wire which is easily available in craft stores. First, bend the wire into a basic proportioned shape, winding the wire round itself to add strength. Allow a long end of wire at the base to stick the wireframe into a piece of foam.
Pose the wireframe in the desired position.
Wrap aluminium foil around the body to bulk it up as desired. You could...

I have be decorating cakes for 3 months shy of two years now and have had many challenges decorating cakes in a climate that is always hot and humid. My little cake studio is just off of my office and I run the AC at about 77F to 80F ( electricity is super expensive in the Cayman Islands ) and as you can tell by my shiny face :0) in the video it is also very humid around 80 to95% most of the time. My butter cream cakes go to beach parties and beach weddings and never melt

A number of people have asked me exactly how I make the ribbon roses on my bouquet cake so here’s a quick tutorial.
The Equipment I use a small cutting board, a rolling pin and a scalpel.
How to make the rose1. Roll a small piece of fondant into a sausage shape.
2. Roll the sausage flat with your rolling pin but don’t flatten it too much. You want it to be thick enough that you get a soft curved edge.
3. Smooth one side of the paste slightly with your finge...
