“But all things must have a beginning, and the student who is about to embark on a career of icing and piping must study well the aspect of his own fitness for the work, his adaptability, his will to overcome obstacles, and his willingness to practice.” (Nirvana, 1953, pg. 1)
Really awesome! Thank you for sharing. I notice that you used a very thin layer to cover the cake dummy. Could you let me know how you made this? I use Wilton rolled fondant to cover cake and it will be torn apart at the corner if thin as this. Do you think other brand will perform better? Thank you!
AWESOME WORK , I LOVE IT SOME DAY I’L GET LOL , TRULY WORKS OF ART
Hi Jinnie,
Yes, different brands of fondant have different levels of workability. You can find reviews of my experiences here: http://rosesen.wordpress.com/2011/01/06/rolled-fondant-reviews/

Hi Anny,
Thank you for your question. Just two ingredients, icing sugar and pasteurized egg whites. Stiffer(stiff peak) icing for shells and thicker borders, thinner(soft peak) icing for string work and lace. It takes some playing around to get the right consistency.
Hope that helps,
Rose
