How to Color Modeling Chocolate – It’s so Easy

Lisa Snyder — Fri, 13 Jul 2018 12:22:41 +0000

The first time I made modeling chocolate I kept wondering how I’d color it because it didn’t seem like it would be simple? When I made them I used candy melts to get the color of modeling chocolate I needed, but I wanted to make custom colors. I think everyone needs a good flesh tone color so you can sculpt faces arms and legs. Let’s face it if you want to make a few arms and legs to decorate with a good flesh color is better than yellow. Remember, knowledge is power and I wanted to know so I can play with modeling chocolate.

How to Make Stunning Buttercream Ranunculus with Video

Lisa Snyder — Thu, 19 May 2016 10:53:26 +0000

I’ve always heard that practice makes perfect and I’d love to make perfect buttercream ranunculus. Have you heard that practice makes perfect? I always believed in it as a kid, but as I got older I realized it isn’t necessarily true. Take these flowers for example. If we make them using the wrong technique, chances are we’re always going to make them wrong. If we learn to make them the correct way, we will practice making them the right way and end up with beautiful buttercream flowers.

What I want you to take away from this tutorial is this, “Perfect Practice makes Perfect!” Take some time and learn to do things the right way and you’ll be able to create anything you can imagine!

Make Professional Cakes with one Awesome Tip

Lisa Snyder — Tue, 26 Apr 2016 10:35:55 +0000

Do you ever wonder why your cakes may not look the same way professional cakes look? When I first started decorating cakes I would spend hours working with the icing so it would look smooth. No matter what I did it never ended up looking the same as professional cakes. I knew how to make the flowers with royal icing, but the buttercream seemed to look a little lifeless. This was really disappointing!

Then one day I learned the secret and I want to share it with you. Do you want to know how to make your cakes look professional?
