Hi can’t download pdf template just get error on page? Thanks
This yacht looks amazing! Thank you so much Mr Yener! I have 2 questions..
For the brown color for the decks, did you add gel food color to water or food grade alcohol?
Also, where can I find those black cake boards that you use?
Just use gel colours or powder clours and water. the is self made. MDF covered with velvet. Please watch my free video about it
Not the prepared velvet board, I was referring to the black boards that you prepare and coat the cakes on?
In Part 1 at the 19:00 minute mark you can see the boards that I’m talking about. They’re round and black. Where can I find these?
They are just round perspex 3mm discs. When we had a pastry shop I ordered specially to present round cakes in display fridge. Maybe you have to search plastic cake boards
