thanks a million leah

It's normal for the clay to separate. After it's rested(overnight or several hours) you can either knead it back in or blot it with paper towels...I blot some of it away before kneading it because I found the heat from my hands makes it get too soft too fast if I don't. It will all knead back in though...don't panic.

bakery_chick, I haven't had to since last fall when pumpkin cake is most popular, but I froze the puree with no ill effects on the finished cakes. I could've just been lucky and need to find some wood somewhere to knock on...fast.

Thank you all4cake (and leah)! I'm so excited - this will be my first carved cake.

Good luck with all of your cakes this weekend everyone.

Have a great night everyone, I am off to bed

Hey!

What do you guys think of this? I am not sure if i like it or not?? Maybe its how the pink come out that i am not happy with it....i was trying to replicate one of SugarShack's cakes but obviously lol im no where near her level!

goodnight tatorchip.

SJ169, it looks greeeeeeat! I thought it was red. pink...red...no matter...it still looks mahvelous dahling!

Wow...that's pretty cool! I like it! I'm just jealous of your granite countertop and your low profile turntable and your stainless steel pin, and, and, and...lemme find some other cool stuff to covet!

ya i think in the picture it looks more red because of the lighting in my kitchen but its supposed to be more of a hot pink...i will take better pictures once i am done with it.. thanks

Hello all,

Just finished making all my pies for tomorrow's farmer's market. Really exhausted.

First time posting in this type of thread (or was it my second?).

Today, I tested Jennifer Dontz's fondant recipe after it has rested and the consistency is perfect. It is the best tasting fondant I have ever tasted in my whole life.

No cake this week but next week and the week after that I will be making one.

nothing for me this friday!, had a lovely night watching True Blood with my hubby and trying to decide what colours to do my first giant cupcake cake on tuesday - so excited to try this!!

Good to see everyone and know we all made it thru. Early deliveries for me today, then prep for tomorrow.

Oh man, being at FNCC would have been so much better than what I was doing yesterday. I had a wreck (I'm ok, the other people are ok) and then my hubby lost his job. It was a banner day in our household yesterday. Luckily, hubby had taken a leave from his job to try out this new one. And they let him go from this new one before his leave for the other one was up. So he still has a job he can go back to. Just doesn't pay as well, and keeps him out of town a lot.

I'm making an AC/DC cake for my mothers husband birthday. I'm going to try RIT again.
Then I'm starting work on my SIL birthday cake with edible image. With matching cookies-its a her dog on the image.
I'm way behind schedule of course!
