Hello,
I've seen many 'bathtub' cakes here that have 'bubbles' in the tub (here is an exaple: http://www.cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=1303187 )
Can someone explain to me how this type of 'bubbles' are made?
Thanks in advance!!!
PS I love Lorraine's work! Just purchased her how-to PDFs!!!
Well, her description says it's all made of sugarpaste, which I think is gumpaste. I'd just rolll out different sized balls of gumpaste and attach it with whatever "glue" you like to use. I have made bubbles out of BC using a great big open tip. That is one cute cake that Lorraine did!
sugarpaste is also called fondant...her description says she added cmc (tylose) to it....if you don't have that try adding gum tex which is readily available at most Michaels...just don't over do it.

Do you have a link to where you purchased her PDFs? I'm interested in them too!
for Lorraine's blog go here: http://extra-icing.blogspot.com/
for her web site: http://www.extraicing.co.uk/
you can purchase the tutorials here: http://www.extraicing.co.uk/#/online-tutorials/4530759830
she also has some videos here:
Here's an example that is buttercream - what tip or method do you use for this???? What I mean is, there are NO obvious little 'tips' on the bubbles - mine always have obvious tips.
When I do mine, I wait a minute or two until it is almost "set" and with a damp finger, gently tap the point down. I do a lot of dots for borders and such.

Thank you! Have you found the tutorials helpful? I am terrible at figure sculpting.
The biggest reason I got them was to learn how she makes the mouths on her figures .... they did help me for that - specifically the upper lip. I haven't tried it yet but I know what to do now... practice practice practice...
the other aspects she covers are the same as what I do today so didn't get anything out of them.
I think what you get out of the PDFs depends on your skill level/experience. I did a lot of searching online about a year ago and pretty much learned everything I know now back then .... didn't take long.... there are a lot of good free videos out there - just do a search on youtube and google...
Her PDFs are good but I prefer videos and have left comments to that point on her site.
Regardless her work is amazing and I love what she does and am happy with my purchase.
