Those are fabulous...thank you so much!!

I looked through my bookmarks, and mostly I have pictures that I look at and think "I wonder how they do that?!?!"

But here are the two "how-tos" that I do have:

That is going to be SO helpful to have. I am so new to this but I have to learn fast - I am going to do a cake for a friends wedding in July. Thankfully she just wants something very simple and plain. This website has been SO great so far and these links are going to be priceless to me! Thanks for sharing.

Well- I guess technically this is not a HOW-to per se, but I find it really useful. Especially since I have several European books that mention ingredients by different names or that are new to me. I had the hardest time fuguring out what castor sugar is. I finally found it was superfine, but not 10x.

So, hope this helps.....it is not jsut subs, it tells the properties of most items it lists.
