re: What skills would you like to improve?

For me I want to learn/get better at sugar flowers. I have made a few different ones but they aren’t as realistic as I would like. I have a friend who makes gorgeous flowers & is willing to spend some time with me to teach me, we just need to find time in our busy schedules to make it happen.

I also would like to try airbrushing. Again, it’s a matter of finding time to give it a go. I work full time, play soccer two nights a week, baseball one night a week & also take pottery classes so spare time is hard to come by.

Lastly I feel my carving skills need a lot of improvement. I always find it nerve wracking when I have a cake that needs carving. Perhaps the key is having the proper knife?

Karen, for me I have found the key to sharp edges us using ganache under my fondant. I also purchased a fondant smoother for edges which seems to help as well.
