Butter Cake = fail - Page 2

Please, let's remember to be respectful, Thank you

OK. Here's a nice story. It's from GRUB STREET.   Have you all heard of a chef Sang Yoon?  He owns a coupla' places, Father's Office and Lukshon.  Anyway, he's got a heck of a history.  They won't allow ketchup, it's banned. There are no modifications whatsoever, even the way your burger is cooked and/or whether it has blue-cheese on it or not.  I've never been there myself, but these stories crack me up. Too bad for you if you don't like it. There is always a line to get in. Go figure. Now, he's got some issue with a "Yelper".  Here's the story, it's a good read. I hope you enjoy it.

Señor Partagas, you did a fabulous job!

That looks great, how did it taste?

I agree!

Your fondant work appears flawless....

Senor Partagas,

If that is a little  'baking experience', then I can't wait to see your next project ! You did a great job.

Looking forward to more of your talent.

Petals.

ps. I wanted to share a video with you http://youtu.be/-4J6LKEiYoY

   Just incredible , a show stopper. Imagine, one year to make all those roses....dedication & love.

Thanks, petals!

Not only is the cake breathtaking but the song is one of my faves.

Of course I started blubbering like a baby!

Everyone warns "Never, ever, ever make your own wedding cake".

Well you can if you plan ahead!

And who is this "everyone" anyway?

Once your cake is finished, prior to decorating (and even after if you want) apply some steam to the fondant, it will give your cake luster and a sheen look, a very light steaming I might add, this will give your cake the finished look you are looking for.

 Petals.

ps some use vodka or water , better yet here is a thread that goes into it. Adding shine to fondant? Hope that helps .....
