i don’t think you do in the course, but once you know the basics, sara, you can sub in things like splenda and fresh fillings and low fat creams, etc. for the diabetics.

this is the cake i made for my couins Mikyle’s second birthday yesterday. The monkey cake that i posted earlier was for his first birthday.

- my elbow ended up in the pic too- doh

Re: Cake Decorating

I dont know how to make any of these professional cakes, but i've always wanted to learn :), I think i am going to consider taking that Michaels course as well, I already found a location here in Mississauga,,, I'm really inspired now,,,
I just have question,,,How do you guys make the cake look so perfect. I've always made my cakes with the ready made mix that u get from Betty Crocker, but mine always ends up tilting to one side or uneven edges, or the icing inside the layers mixing with the icing outside of the cake????? its never perfect like these cakes you have on GS.... But I really wanna take this course now :)

Neelum you should make sure ur baking pan is placed in the centre of the oven for even baking. Also you get these strips that you wrap around your baking pan and that ensures an even levelled cake, though I haven't used them yet myself. To stop the filling icing from mixing wit hthe outside icing have to sort of seal the ends of the layer. When you split ur cake in layers you pipe out a border of the outside icing all around the edges of the layer and then fill it up wit hwhatever u want within that boundary you create. Then when you place the top layer over the bottom one the filling doesn't squeeze out cos ur other icing boundery holds it in.

SGC and mrs smoothguy welldone. love both ur cakes.

hi hi, i haven't tried it with fresh fruit... but i'd say go ahead only use slightly under done fruits, not entirely ripe ones. the ripe ones will just disintegrate into a messy puddle in the over.
frozen stuff i tend to stay away from... as it thaws, i find it releases so much liquid it never gets done by the time the rest of the pie is done.

let me know how it turns out!
