I hate even the idea of washing greasy buttercream out of a pastry bag so I use disposable plastic bags all the time. Parchment bags are okay for small amounts of icing, but I don't know how to open ...

It can be done. The contour usually just rounds the upper edge. I've torted a 3" contour into 3 layers, starting just under the rounded top edge, so it doesn't show under the icing.

Not a stupid question, that is exactly how you do it. Use the little feet on the separator plate to make little marks where you should push in the hidden pillars, push them in as straight as you can, ...

I've used this pan too, and I baked without the core. Just use a very firm cake recipe. My Pooh was also sitting on another cake, so he had dowels and a cake board under him, then a long dowel pound ...

Can you freeze cookies iced in Toba's Glace?
I froze cookies with Toba's glace for about a week. They were double-bagged in freezer bags. I didn't take them out of the bags until they had defrosted ...

Just so you know, airbrushes provide what the decorators call 'blowing blue" The mist WILL get into your nose and blow out on a kleenex. Wierd the first time it happens. fortunately, food color is ...

How about doing the "grass" on the sides as well. Not sure what that would look like (probably like a square hill) but the texture would hide the bulging.

Get your self some Capella Coffee Flavor Drops and go nuts! I've taken my standard buttercream recipe, omitted the regular extract and flavored with different drops. So far, I've tried buttercream f ...

Cream cheese is one of the few things I'm a name-brand snob about. I have noticed a difference in taste and consistency. It doesn't matter on my morning toast, but it makes a difference in icing and ...

You could always tell them you don't have access to those kind of tools, and to rent or buy them would make their cake prohibitively expensive Shocked

Then show them what you CAN do and how much more rea ...

I just tried this for the first time last week and it works great! I had to experiment a bit to get the pearl/extract mixture the right consistency, but it was worth it. It makes a cake look so eleg ...
