Sorry about the double post! I mean a cup and 1/4...etc

Hmm. Not sure Tracik. Can you give us an example?

Yes, that would be 1 1/4 cup.

Thank you! GrandmaG

Yippee! I just ordered 2 of the cake doctor books, a cake and cupcake one.

What section of the store is this bettercream?

I am on page 200 now!

Tracik.. The Bettercream can be found at certain stores in the cooler freezer dept.
I can only find it at Gordons Food Service ( GFS)
Depends on your area!
Some where in this loooong thread people have posted where they get it in their area!
Maybe someone will pop in and say where they find it to

I did see some of those post and didn't see any stores around here except sams. I am going to check out stores as I go to them but wasn't sure what section to look in. Thanks so much for all the help!

I made some cute Halloween cupcakes the other day and did take a picture but can't get it off my phone. UGH

Tracik have you found this thread yet ?

Great fiddlesticks another thread to be addicted to! LOL Thank You!! I haven't got a chance to look for that bettercream yet.

I was thinking maybe there were some posts to let you know where to look for it in that thread ..Besides probably everthing you ever want to know about bettercreme as well...enjoy!

I have a question about fondant decorations on cupcakes and was wondering if someone can help. I am making cupcakes with frosting which will have a fondant decoration sticking out of it. I am dropping these off for my customer on the day before the party--do I need to be worried about the fondant/sugar paste decoration becoming soft and breaking due to the moisture in the frosting? I am making the decorations out of 50% fondant & 50% sugar paste so that they will dry very hard. Any helps or tips would be greatly appreciated.
thanks!

I have never had a problem with that..and even fondant decor left on "left over " cake slices /cupcakes...never a problem !
Of course you want to make sure they keep it out of the sun so nothing fades

thank you very much fiddlesticks.....
I am making black mickey mouse ears---so after reading your response, I should let these dry in a dark place in my home as I have heard that black can loose its color quickly....

I always have my cakes done the night before they are due..just to be sure I have no problems and anything using fondant gumpaste or mmf with tylose has never been a problem ...I do know that anything you make from gumpaste can fade in the sun ...doesn't matter if it's on a cake or just drying on a sheet pan ....
Oh good luck and can't wait to see it ..I Love Mickey !!

fiddlesticks - I just saw your post. I became a big fan of MMF this summer and have used it on several graduation cakes and wedding cakes. But I see that you add tylose. I'm assuming to make decorations stiffer. Can you tell me how much tylose/MMF you've used?

Hello ..Yes love my MMF
Sorry to say I have no set amount( yep one of Those people ) )
I just kind of shake some tylose on the chunk of MMF I'm using and let it sit for a few minutes and then check to see how it feels to me.
Then I either add more or go with it..You will be able to tell by how stiff it feels to you if it's workable to you or not...Tylose seems to make your piece dry faster also...
You kind of have to go with the amount of MMF your working with as how much tylose to add.....But it really does make a difference...

I had no idea you could use tylose---would I be able to use gum-tex or glucose? I'm having difficulty finding tylose in my area....
thanks!

i think gum tex does the same thing, doesnt it?

oh and i had to order mine from gsa

I have never really used the other two ..I just use Tylose and I get it at my local cake supply shop

Thanks, there's a lot of good ideas on here.

Hi all... I tried making some MMF yesterday and adding some gum tex since this is all I could find a local Michael's store--and I cut out some small circles yesterday and left them to dry overnight last night. When I got up today, they were hard, but not hard enough that I couldn't break them. I have worked with the sugar paste/fondant mixture and that combination gets much harder than the gum tex. I will have to make a trip into the city to the cake shop and buy some tylose....thanks!

Speaking of Mickey Mouse. These area really cute! She just used candy melts for the ears.

Now those are just tooo cute ..but kind of some work

Oh that Mickey Mouse is really cute...but does look like a bit of work. My minnie mouse cupcakes are due next weekend, November 6th to be exact, so I will load up some pics after that.

I did find the absolute CUTEST pumpkin pie slices on the web made from fondant from our dear friend fiddlesticks!!!! HOW ADORABLE! I just finished up a dozen and hope to get cupcakes made this weekend to bring into work. I cannot believe just how darn cute those little pie slices are. I did make them with the carmels.....loved them! Can't wait to show them off at work. Thank you fiddlesticks for sharing your pumpkin pie slices......you all are so generous!

You are to kind ..but thanks

I have always used 1 tsp. of Tylose to 12 oz. of fondant and it works just perfect for me. One of our instructors gave us that equation many years ago.

There was a little gal that called herself The Frosted Cake & Cookie and she shared her designs for darling little fondant creations for cupcake toppers. She did what she called Tuesdays Toppers ( I think that was it) and each week she shared a darling little piece like the Witch Hat and a tutuorial to go with it. Does anyone know if she is still around??? She was an amazing talent and so kind to share with us.
