It's like making a buttercream “plaque” to apply to your cake. It is similar to transferring a design to a frosted cake with gel on waxed paper, and filling in the design with a star tip. It's also comparable to run-in (flood-work) sugar design work, and it will make a beautiful reproduction of your art http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/-sharingAndCaring-CakeDecoratingAndSugarArtTutorials/~3/uZD2f3OBDFI/making-frozen-buttercream-transfer.htmlrhondascustomcakes@gmail.com (Rhonda)8<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/-sharingAndCaring-CakeDecoratingAndSugarArtTutorials/~4/uZD2f3OBDFI" height="1" width="1"/>http://sugarteachers.blogspot.com/2009/10/making-frozen-buttercream-transfer.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699017370839705678.post-2072724117752016132Mon, 19 Oct 2009 05:01:00 +00002009-10-19T22:25:29.383-05:00CookiesSeasonalHalloweenLorann OilsOwl Cookies When I was a little girl, my fondest memories are of my mother happily baking in the kitchen.

An old fashioned orange cake. And there are many family stories swirling around this legendary cake.

Generously grease inside of pan..I love the sprays like Baker's Joy or Pam for baking.Some people use shortening and some flour, but I don't love the deposits of flour. So if you dothe flour method, make sure to tap the excess flour out.2. Turn oven 10 to 15 minutes before you plan to use it to allow time for it heat to baking temperature.3.

INSTRUCTIONS: In order to marble the fondant, you need 2 colors to mix. I started with this pink and added the blue to it for my marble on this cake. Start by getting the fondant very pliable.Then I roll out strips, generally the same length, but not precisely.Twist them together and stretch, repeating a few times, but not too many!Lay http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/-sharingAndCaring-CakeDecoratingAndSugarArtTutorials/~3/YqcqrMyBfyY/marbled-fondant.htmlbkdonner@grandecom.net (bkdcakes)5<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/-sharingAndCaring-CakeDecoratingAndSugarArtTutorials/~4/YqcqrMyBfyY" height="1" width="1"/>http://sugarteachers.blogspot.com/2009/07/marbled-fondant.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699017370839705678.post-559329756120243779Tue, 14 Jul 2009 05:01:00 +00002009-07-14T00:26:33.035-05:00cake decoratingfondantcake decorating toolsSTRUGGLING WITH FONDANT?Another tool to make the cake decorators life easier to manage is the Fondant Lifter from ChocoPan. The rings link together forming a flat surface to roll out the fondant.
