I hang a small cookie cutter over the oven knob to remind myself that I have things in the oven.

I only have to worry about myself remembering...no one else in my house is ambitious enough to turn ...

What about paypal? Could she send you the money that way?

I've never used paypal as a seller, only when I was buying from ebay, so I don't know how much they charge you, but I know it's a good w ...

Add some crisco or glycerin. You could also try microwaving it for a few seconds. I haven't made that recipe, I always use the really simple MMF recipe, but when it gets hard to work with, that's wh ...

That's a good question...I was going to try making it without the dream whip just to see what would happen, or try using instant pudding mix instead of the dream whip (to save $$$), but my husband sai ...

Fondant is kind of chewy and rubbery. You can try rolling it a bit thinner next time and see if that helps.

You can freeze fondant flowers once they're dry. I've frozen them and kept them for mon ...

I thought about making one before I decided to just make a Hello Kitty topper instead. I don't think that she would be too hard to make 3D...if you used the sports ball pan for the head and the wonde ...

I've had a cursed cake before...I started to write a disaster post about it but I was just too upset Laughing

It's the yellow cake with the tropical flowers in my photos. I was making it ...

When you're thinning the petals, if they start to look a bit shiny, dust them with some cornstarch on a pastry brush. Dust your foam pad with it too. The folding, sticking and tearing all mean you n ...

I read in another article that it was a slice of marzipan and icing rather than cake.

I know traditional celebration cakes in England are fruit cakes covered with marzipan, and royal icing.

I agree with the solid color, especially if they're going to have a tablecloth with that pattern.

I think you could use a round pan and a square pan. The round cake would be the big part of the note, with maybe a bit shaved off to make it a little more oval than round, then the square would be ca ...
