Thanks for the information and sorry for the duplicate post. I was in Tulsa all week and hadn't had to to surf cake central for over an entire week!

I was watching last week's "Amazing Wedding Cakes" tonight. The Cake Atelier made a cobweb out of a product she called royal icing. She piped the cobweb, let it set and was then able to drape it on ...
