It Feels Good To Do Good Things

It Feels Good To Do Good Things. Today was my first cupcake donation to Bake A Wish Austin. I always hear from people, “How do you fit all that into your schedule? I can’t find the time to do the volunteer work. Can’t I just write a check instead? I always respond with, “Of course you can. It’s just a matter of setting priorities in your life. And if you still find it a challenge, write the check. It is always needed at the charities.”. To fund psychological support and counseling to cancer patients and ...

http://cakeoricandothat.blogspot.com/p/billows.html
Hey, I can do that! I've been told that the fondant billow technique was invented by Kerry Vincent, but was made popular by Susan Trianos. You can purchase her DVD of her technique). In my research, I've found another popular tutorial by Mandie E. here: http:/ thejoyofcake.shutterfly.com. The following is mostly using Mandie's technique. This was easy once you get the hang of it, and it is very impressive once complete! 1 Roll out a thin sheet of your fondant (or gumpaste). 4 Pinch to seal. 10 Adhere som...

Hey, I can do that! Monday, February 11, 2013. Happy 1st Birthday, Kai! Happy 1st Birthday, Kai! My co-worker's special little man, Kai, just turned one year old! This was a fun, stress-free cake. Kai's mommy requested buttercream, so I only used fondant for the accents. 6" x 5" round white cake. 8" x 5" round chocolate cake. 6" x 2" round white smash cake. Filled and iced in American Buttercream. Wish I looked this good naked! Kai's mommy Amy has been taking some decorating classes at Make It Sweet.

Hey, I can do that! Tuesday, February 12, 2013. On Sunday my family attended a memorial for Bill, a lovely man that always had the biggest smile. I brought a last minute cake with left over icing, mix, and some apple filling that I had in the pantry. As I was icing it, I figured the cake shouldn't look too fancy, but it should still look nice. In the back of my cupboard I had the Wilton Decorating Triangle. I had never used an icing comb before, but gave it a shot and was pleasantly surprised. She reques...

http://cakeoricandothat.blogspot.com/p/modeling-chocolate-recipe.html
Hey, I can do that! I love using modeling chocolate for sculpting; sometimes I'll mix it with fondant for covering cakes. This is the recipe I always use because it's cheap and easy. If you've never used modeling chocolate before, be warned that it's not like fondant or gumpaste. I advise to review several tutorials on how to make and use modeling chocolate. Modeling chocolate does not dry, but it solidifies at room temperature. See the NOTES section afterwards for a few more tips. 1/3 c light corn syrup.
