smooth guy, nice!! you did the spatula dipped in hot water to smooth out the icing trick?

femme, i never use the entire sugar for the Wilton buttercream icing recipe. but it definitely is one of the easier ones out there. you can use butter if you dont like crisco but the icing won’t be pure white then. and i prefer to add in corn syrup to thin it out rather than milk because it gives it a nice gloss. splenda is also an excellent sub for the sugar in the recipe.

i want to do this course to learn roses and other flowers- i’ve seen what my colleagues who’ve learned that have come up with and holy smokes, some excellent stuff.

this is a cake i made for my cousin’s 1st birthday… his mom calls him her little monkey. i also made little cupcakes to go with it.

wow, very nice!! i like baking … not that I’m any good at it. i’m really impressed at the talent displayed in this thread. :k:
