Where can I get the triangular lace mat for the cake lace you added to the corners of the top book? Thanks!
Online shopping please. If you can not find the exact one the others also will work.
As always, EXCELLENT video. One question…Why do you choose gel color for the chocolate rather than oil-based candy color?
Hi. I love the tutorial as always. Your tutorials are technical and take you through all of the steps which is very helpful. I have one question. For the pen, you mixed the silver dust with oil. It looks very smooth. Does the painted on dust stay wet or does it dry? I’m concerned that if it gets touched, it might rub off mixing with the oil. What oil did you use? How does that work? Thanks.
Yes, it stays wet. Nobody should touch the cake before the first cut.
Thanks again chef Yener! I like this design very much. Beautiful colours and nice details. I also love the fact that I can use the individual components on other kind of cakes. And as always, the cake looks very sophisticated, but with your explanation it is not that difficult to make. Thank you for your time and effort to show and share your knowledge with us.
