Just to start a thread about Cupcakes and Cakes and Share tips on recipes and methods to making certain things and such.

You are welcome to share photos of your own creations, ask questions about other people's creations and how to make them, ask questions on general baking and cupcake'ing tips

It will be easier to find dessert related help/recipes instead of surfing hundreds of pages in the food thread ^___^ will provide links of already pre-existing recipes/baking threads. oh! tutorials too! i saw a few one here so i'll go look for them later!

Feel free to toss in some questions and Samarie and I or anyone who's passionate and knowlegeable or want to learn about baking can freely discuss and teach here

WELCOME!

** UPDATE** YES... i went through all 86 pages of this food section to find out all the dessert recipes and other cool stuff possible It took me awhile but if ppl are really interested in recipes and baking then those are the people that i did it for will notice that the post dates will get way older than the top ones p.s. i must have seen 30+ Bento Box threads in there -____-

ooo that's really pretty samarie!

extra tip for new decorators!!! if you are working with gumpaste or fondant it would be a good investement to buy some fondant shapers that you can find at the local arts and craft stores! they'll look something like this:

i was wondering if you guys have any good fondant recipes?

here's a marshmallow fondant recipe, it's easier than regular fondant. Got it from recipezaar.com, try it!
MARSHMALLOW FONDANT by:Manny Ramirez
Ingredients
16 ounces white mini marshmallows (use a good quality brand)
2-5 tablespoons water
2 lbs icing sugar (please use C&H Cane Powdered Sugar for the best results)
1/2 cup Crisco shortening (you will be digging into it so place in a very easily accessed bowl)
Directions
1Melt marshmallows and 2 tablespoons of water in a microwave or double boiler: Put the bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds, open microwave and stir, back in microwave for 30 seconds more, open microwave and stir again, and continue doing this until melted.
2It usually takes about 2 ½ minutes total. Place 3/4 of the powdered sugar on the top of the melted marshmallow mix. Be careful, the mixture is hot.
3Now grease your hands GENEROUSLY - palms, backs and in between fingers, then heavily grease the counter you will be using and dump the bowl of marshmallow/sugar mixture in the middle.
4Start kneading like you would bread dough. You will immediately see why you have greased your hands.
5Keep kneading, this stuff is sticky at this stage! Add the rest of the powdered sugar and knead some more.
6Re-grease your hands and counter when the fondant is sticking. If the mix is tearing easily, it is to dry, so add water (about ½ tablespoon at a time then knead it in). It usually takes me about 8 minutes to get a firm smooth elastic ball so that it will stretch without tearing when you apply it to the cake.
7Its best if you can let it sit, double wrapped, overnight (but you can use it right away if there are no tiny bits of dry powdered sugar). If you do see them, you will need to knead and maybe add a few more drops of water.
8Prepare the fondant for storing by coating it with a good layer of Crisco shortening, wrap in a plastic- type wrap product and then put it in a re-sealable or Ziploc bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible.
9MM Fondant will hold very well in the refrigerator for weeks. If I know that I have a cake to decorate, I usually make 2 batches on a free night during the week so it is ready when I need it. Take advantage of the fact that this fondant can be prepared well in advance.

Wait, so you can "glue" the bear parts together just with water? Or do you use something else?

i usually just use water and it'll adhere just fine
