Thanks IM.

. I often wish the same. The reactions of the people picking up is usually pretty satisfying though, so that's nice.

A job well done is its own reward. But still, maybe you could ask the picking up folks, who gave you the idea that you envisioned to reality, to take a pic of their face. Maybe that's too intrusive, but I bet it'd be really great to see!

Can you do my nephew's bday cake and cupcakes? His bday is coming up and I'm feeling lazy these days.

Your cakes and cupcakes are awesome, btw.

I usually ask IM, but i think they often just forget about it. I have lots of positive reviews on my fb page though, and that's great for business anyway.

Lola, i could if he wants fruitcake. Not much else will keep for that long. Haha

Sumbitch, I go away for a week and you turn pro. Are you sure you aren't using a computer and food printer?

Aliantha · 10-15-2014, 04:01 PM

haha...no, and I'd hardly call myself pro. I've just started doing fondant modelling. So many people want characters and things on their cakes these days, and I've been nervous about doing it, but had to kick myself in the arse and just start doing it. I'm only taking on basic jobs with modelling so far, but my skills will improve as I go and I'm almost able to justify a set of tools which will make my jobs more professional and quicker too. I figure it's best to practice doing it without for a bit of a while though and become one with the fondant. haha

This is another new technique/product I am learning how to use. It's chocolate lace and made with a product called flexi paste. It's a sticky paste that you apply to a mold then leave to set, and you pull it out when it's dry and it's pliable. I was dubious about this product, but now I'm totally sold on it. It will replace most of the stencilling work I would normally do. The only issue is that the molds are hellishly expensive. Anyway, they are worth investing in because they ensure a much more accurate finish. Ortho's christmas cake has it actually, so she can tell you all what she thinks after she gets it.

What are the molds made from, plastic? Aluminum?

Aliantha · 10-16-2014, 02:52 PM

Silicon
