Edna...you are a blessing. Thanks so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge and I appreciate how you give your own time to explain things, answer questions & emails and provide these tutorials.
And on top of that, you always look so pretty and polished with every hair in place!!! I don't know how you do it all. You are a Super Caker!!
Thanks again
Thank you!! I've used the straws before but I am so afraid of the long wooden dowel at the end. I have seen it done before and I am afraid of destroying the whole cake with it. Where do you get your wooden dowels? What thickness? and how do you sharpen it?
I get them at Michaels and clean them well..they can be sharpen with a pencil sharpener..For smaller cakes, wilton sells some too.

Edna,
You are truly a blessing. I think it is wonderful that you share your skill with us. It is truly an act of giving back. You cakes are wonderful as are your video. Thank so much.
Edna, I loved the video. I have had a fear of the long middle dowel bending the cake board under a layer and not going through, so I had punched a hole in the middle of the cake boards to make it go through easier. should I not do this? Also, how do you serve one of these cakes? Do you just start serving until you run into a dowel, pull it out, and continue serving? Do you ever miss and leave a dowel in someone's serving? Sorry for so many questions but I have my first wedding cake coming up. Thanks again for all your help.
Edna, with all these heavy stacked cakes is that why you have such a healthy collection of bakery assistants (aka Chocolate men) to help you?

That's why you sharpen the dowel, so it breaks the cardboard and it holds on to the drum at the bottom.

Sorry....lol..I got to laugh at this..I didnt mean to leave the men behind, I just wrote it so fast I didn't even think about it!....I apologize!..

Yes, I would love to know where your business gets the cardboard dowels.
And I agree, you look so different from what I imagined. I, too, was opting for an older lady. Funny how people don't look like you have them built up in your mind's eye.
Hey, I either conjure up a truck driver with the screen name Mac or maybe it is someone who is skinnier and younger....Ha! I would go for the younger if I could keep all my knowledge and experiences.
Goodness, I would have put you in the early 30s...if not even late 20s.
YOU GO, GIRL!!!

Thanks so much for another excellent tutorial. You are very generous with your time and it's much appreciated.
I would have never thought you a day over 30, I think we need a tutorial on your fitness and beauty regime

As always you are fantastic - loved your new video! The buttercream doesnt look like a regular crusting buttercream - what type is it? I know you are so busy but are there any thoughts on what your next video might be?
