Loads of new tips and tricks!

So far, I have never offered people on my cakes as I find the whole subject too scary. My previous attempts at realistic figures is really bad, I have failed spectacularly. This tutorial has made me reconsider and when I get some spare time later this week, I am going to go try!

So well done chef Serdar for providing such excellent support materials and breaking down the steps into what looks like easy steps. I would just like to say that the order forms you provide so that people can order figures is one of the best things I have ever seen. These are worth the price of the tutorial in and of themselves.

      I can’t seam to access this funny couples figurenes, can you please help? I did pay for it long time ago?

      1. Serkan Yener says:

        I have checked and it looks like you purchased that tutorial after we made our internal changes back in May 2020. This means that you purchased the tutorial at YenersWay.tv, not YenersWay.com. I have unlocked the tutorial to your account here at YenersWay.com as well so now you can use either site. Thank you

    2. Trina Hussey says:

      I was surprised to see you use ribbon and silk flowers. Is it ethical to use the ribbon and the silk flowers as they are not edible? You are an amazing teacher and a joy to watch.

      1. Serdar Yener says:

        Yes and no. There is always forgivable ethical problems as long as they fit the purpose for the right reason. Using a non-food ribbon may disqualify you from the competition. For a wedding cake which is accepted by the bride at the consulting stage will be just right.

    3. Francine Rochon says:

      Beautiful Thank you so much to take the time to explain us what is the best way to do the thing.

    4. Beland Akose says:

      You are amazing Sir!

    5. Alis Nuta says:

      Hi. I have a question, I was taught to mix the color for painting with alcohol to dry faster. It is better to mix it with water? Thank you very much! You’re the best teacher, the most detailed tutorials!

      1. Serdar Yener says:

        Yes, colors dry quicker when mixed with alcohol but works better with water. It all depend on how much, where, how quick.

    6. klince says:

      Dear mr. Serdar. I love all of your tutorials. You are the best teacher I’ve ever had. You widen my horizon of what is possible to make out of a cake. Thank you so so much. I made your funny couple figurines and I loved it:)

      1. Serdar Yener says:

        I am glad to hear that. Thank you.

    7. Adele says:

      Fantastic. When you show these steps bit by bit we are actually encouraged that they are quite achievable. Thank you again for sharing your skills and knowledge. I so appreciate that you use everyday bits and pieces to make the details on these exceptional little caricatures. It has made me keep an eye out for similar. It encourages that we don’t have to buy all the ‘tools’ to do a good job. Keep these tutorials coming they are wonderful. Thank you to Serkan as well for the amazing videography and edits… well done to you both.

      1. Serdar Yener says:

        Thanks, Adele, I appreciate your comments.

      hi
      I am trouble viewing the tutorial. it keeps jumping back at 1.07.20 and not continuing to the end in part 1

      1. Serkan Yener says:

        Hi, please try refreshing the page and try again. It sounds like it is related to the action buttons below the video. You may have one of the repeat buttons activated. If you refresh the page and just go to that part of the video it should be ok. Let me know if you still have problems. Thanks
