Rozanne, thank you for putting on the video links, I’ve just watched them and it has demystified some of the skills needed for cake decorating for me! One of these days I’m going to have a go, but I don’t think I’ll be putting any pictures up!

LOL No harm done and no need to apologize. Friends?

Like you, I am truly grateful for all the wonderful men and women on this site from whom I am continually learning from.
Because of all the support and encouragement you all give, I am no longer the frustrated baker I was. It still amazes me how much my baking has changed in just under a year.  Thanks everyone!

tbartley, those are some really beautiful cakes!  Thanks for sharing, and love the new avatar!

Try Marshmallow Fondant…It is so forgiving and inexpensive.  It doesn’t seem as sensitive to humidity either.  I live in the desert, but we have really humid and hot days in August.  I’ve done cakes for outdoor venues in the heat and humidity and as long as the cake is in the shade have had no real issues…
