Went to Topeka again this morning. I keep thinking I'll get better at this, but no luck yet. Also, I meant to say "the technique I use", not "my technique". I hope that doesn't imply I invented this technique. *sigh* -- just trying to fill the time slot with interesting stuff. And it would be a whole lot easier to get up at 2:45am if I went to bed before 1am! For August, I vow to go to bed at 8 pm. Anhow, here's the link: http://www.49abcnews.com/news/2007/jul/10/word_appeal_sutterby_shows_how_write_appetizing_me/
Great demo, Rebecca! Beautiful cake, too!
BTW, your Hugs & Stitches cake was the inspiration for the one I did, although I changed it up a bit (in my pics). Thanks so much - your work is awesome!!

Fantastic tutorial Rabecca!!!!!! You are awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey Rebecca! We want more tutorials!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pretty please????? 
Hey, ya'll! Sorry, I just now saw these last responses. I've been using FondX for the last couple years and really love it.
On the daisies, I had an article in the Feb/March issue of ACD that showed the technique, but I'll give you a little run-down -- I usually use gumpaste for that sort of thing. I'm trying to remember which brand my cutter is -- Orchard Products, I think. (it's white) I cut them out, thin each petal slightly around the edges with a ball tool, and vein down the center of each petal with a dresden tool. The centers are from a mold I got from Squires Kitchen, but I think Sunflower Sugar Art also makes a very similar mold now. Anyhow, I make two layers of petals and the center and assemble, then place the flower into a foil form to dry.
Next ABC appearance will be Aug. 14th -- haven't decided yet what I'm doing. Possibly ribbon roses & other whimsical flowers, but that's not set in stone.
