Thank you so.much. this was very interesting
So happy to hear, see you in Video 2!
Can we use wafer paper instead?
This method would not work with wafer paper. In the tutorial, you’ll see wafer paper petals that I have made, but this is using a totally different technique which is all in my new Cake Texture Course Series. I recommend watching Video 2 coming up next as you can find out more about how to learn all at the best value x <3
Wow…that was certainly sure and definitely impactful, thank you. My struggle has been in branding myself and the question of whether it’s best to specialize in one thing such as wedding cakes and leave tge others such as cookie decorating etc., is it best to just have one focus especially when on a small island and everyone and their brother has gotten into the cake making business.
I think you’ll find Video 2 helpful, so keep an eye out for that tomorrow. I totally understand what you have shared, it is a very universal struggle and in fact, in the Cake Insider Academy we have a training on this very topic. Much love and hope to continue supporting you in your cake journey xx
very nice, thank you so much
You’re most welcome, my pleasure x
Thanks, I enjoyed it!
So glad to hear 🙂
Have you ever used spaghetti noodles instead of the floral wire? You cakes are amazing! Thank you for the tutorial.
you could certainly use that 🙂 Would work I believe x I personally don’t use them as I prefer something very thin like the wires xx
Very informative. Thank you for sharing your struggle. I think everyone can agree the doubt is the hardest bit.
I would also like to learn more on branding.
Thanks again. Fantastic
Thank you for sharing. I like it so much..
My absolute pleasure 🙂
I bake cheesecakes, and there isn’t much I can do decorating wise, but I try.
Gotta love cheesecakes 😉 yum!
Wow – I can’t wait to start playing with this technique! I have a bunch of rice paper in my pantry.
My biggest decorating challenge is – making it vegan. I’m mastering royal icing (found vegan meringue powder which was a game changer), but mirror glaze, fondant, gum paste, ganache – these can be hard to adequately replicate. I am hoping that more people start teaching/training on vegan fancy pastry techniques.
What a fabulous opportunity you have uncovered, if there isn’t anyone teaching it, it certainly seems like an opportunity to work towards 🙂 Video 2 is now released! https://sugarcakeschool.com/how-to-turn-your-cake-passion-into-a-thriving-cake-career/
How do you made the rest of the non transparent petals as in the cakes above?
All of those techniques together with 2 other full cake projects are in my newest ‘Cake Textures’ Course Series. All details here: https://learn.sugarcakeschool.com/courses/textured-cake-series
