Perfect Pastillage…Everytime!
What a wonderful tutorial! I hope to someday have the occasion to try to make the tiger … or maybe I’ll just make a pastillage animal collection for myself 🙂 One question which you may have addressed: Have you put cake cards (not the large cake board) under any or all of the cake rocks? Just wondering when to use them and when not to. Thank you again for such an enjoyable lesson!
Yes, I would place a cardboard under need the top cake before the fondant. Thanks
Hi Chef,
Whiskers problem: I completed the tiger cake and am so pleased with it. The one thing I struggled with was making the whiskers. I could not role the pastillage thin enough, and it kept breaking – my solution was to use pieces of dried vermicelli which is very thin, and I sprayed the pieces white – then they plugged into the sides of the face quite easily with just a small pin hole as a starter hole. Just thought I would share this solution for others.
Fantastic, what a great lot of techniques in this one. These will be adaptable and transferable to many projects. Once again congratulations on a terrific outcome, and for sharing your knowledge and skills. It is nice to know you still learn as you go too, it make the whole experience for us very authentic. Thank you.
Thanks Adele for your time to express your thoughts. You are most welcome.
wow, another masterpiece, Mr. Yener. I love it!
Wow, just saw this one pop up on my email and can’t wait to watch through the tutorial…. stunning, so dramatic.
