Comments from our Club Members:

'The moulds are amazing!'

'Now we know how to remove designs from the moulds correctly.'

I went over how to assemble and maintain an airbrush machine and shared some fun airbrushing techniques to highlight cakes.

FMM tappits were a huge crowd pleaser. On my earlier blog post I shared how to use them. It's so much better seeing it live and yes everyone agreed tappits are "WOW" so easy and impressive!
Comments from our Club Members:

'quick, easy and detailed!'

'more variety and for many special occasions'

We Luv FMM cutters!!!

Happy Belated Valentines Day!!! So very sorry for the lateness of this. I was out with a terrible flu and was out sick through Valentines:( This is a late one but the great news is the tips are never too late to learn bow to use these fabulous cutteres. I promise you will love making these beauties.

Many people have no idea how to use these fabulous FMM cutters. When I was first introduced to them, I hated them and had no idea why anyone would make such a ridiculous gadget. It turns out I was the ridiculous one....... and now fmm cutters are my best friends:)

Lets get started: 

You'll need fmm cutters of your choice (we used Hearts & Cherubs set)

-gumpaste (wilton or Satin Ice)

-Lemon Extract   -Copper Color (wilton or americolor)

- 00 or 000 brush    -rolling pin

-angled spatula        -food markers

-corn starch

Mix in your copper color to make skin tone gumpaste

Roll out your gumpaste using the pink guides for thinness control.

Cut out appx 1" wide strips. The key tip is now you let the gumpaste dry out just a bit so that the top layer of your gumpaste is dry on top and bit wet on the inside.
This will make it easier for your FMM cutters to release your gumpaste from the cutters.

Now lets get cutting: first take your cornstart bag and tap some on your gumpaste and cutters

Put your cutter on top and press

To remove, you can  flick the gumpaste off by bending your cutter strip back and tapping it against your surface

If certain parts are still sticking onto your cutters take your brush to gently push out the gumpaste.

Lets try something with a bit more details, the gorgeous cherub

Sometimes I like to take my fingure to go over the more intriquit parts to make sure the imprint goes all the way through.

Tap it out or....

Use your brush to push it out. Its really simple once you let your gumpaste crust over and you add your cornstarch on before you cut out the shapes

Easy Peezy:)

You noticed we only made one color to cut out the shapes.

Thats because we will be painting the rest of the details using petal dust and lemon extract.

Your color options are endless and so easy to apply. Also whats great about lemon extract is that it dries in seconds.

I also love using the pearl petal dust to paint as it really adds a nice shimmer effect.

I used the black food marker to add on eyes and belly button:)

Forever Luv!!!!

Horse Cake Pops

Happy Chinese New Year everyone. 

Lets welcome the year of the horse and make some Horse Cake pops:)

Giddy Up!

Here's what you'll need
Chocolate coated sunflower seeds colours: anyone you want. brand we used Kimmie Candy
Candy Melts: White and Light Brown  Brand: Wilton or CK
Lollipop Sticks
Black food marker  Brand: Americolor or Wilton
For an intro of how to make you cake pops and how to melt you candy melts
Please watch our tutorial on You Tube. It gives you a great intro to the fundamentals of cake pop making. 

How to shape your horse shape:

First roll your cake balls into appx 1" diameter size

Take each cake ball and sqeeze them on the side to make an oval shape

Take your index finger and put a lil dent in the middle of the oval

give the front half of oval another squeeze 

This is what you'll get. Profile of horse.

Now lets bust out these fabulous chocholate covered sunflower seeds:)

Separate the brown ones (horse ears)  ahead of time. 

Prep your chocolate candy melts for dipping. To get a detailed step by step on how to melt your candy melts perfectly. Please check out our Cake Pop DIY on Youtube.

Dip your lollipop stick into the melts and stick it into your cake pops.

Another profile shot of our fabulous horse.

Dip your dark brown sunflower seeds into the melts and stick them onto your pop.

Mr. Ed is starting to come to life:)

Allow your ears and lollipop stick to harden in fridge for about 5 minutes. 

Freezer takes less time.

After your ears have set, you may dip your pop into chocolate candy melts.

To avoid any parts from falling off, take a spatula to coat the candy melts onto your cake pop

Tap your pop on your fingure to avoid getting any chocolate onto your clean lollipop stick.

Sooooo Handsome!!!

At this point you can take a pair of tweezers to add some black choco-sunflower seeds (hair)

in between the horses ears.

1 piece

2 pieces

3 pieces. 

Seriously!!!! I can't contain myself:)

Dip him into some melted white candy melts for his nose and mouth.

Speechless! I know. Hold your horses, it gets WAY better:)

With a foodmarker, draw on the eyes and smile.

Horsing around was never this much fun. 

Now that you can make a horse, your options are endless.
Check out these beauties!

Get creative and use different color sunflower seeds for the hair. 

Mr. Ed is liking these beauties too. 

Happy Chinese New Year! 

Thanks for spending this time with us!!!

Now giddy up and make yourself some pops:)
