      I LOVE this so much! You are the Greatest!! I plan to try this within the week but I wont have much time. Unfortunately I will have to skip the Castle and the Swan Carriage this time (sad) and maybe just do some more greenery and flowers. The waterfall is such a beautiful idea on its own, I just have to try it! Thank you again! Your video is FANTASTIC!

    2. luz sosa says:

      normally I see you recommend a price to sale a cake , this one don’t show . can you please tell me . thanks

    3. Jackie Seabrooks says:

      I absolutley love this tutorial! Just one question, what size cake board are you using?

      1. Serdar Yener says:

        Hi Jackie, for this cake you have to use 50 or 55 cm board and the long threaded screw has to be off the center so you have enough space for the swans. If you put the cake in the center without anything on board 3-inch free space is good . That means 15 cm larger than the cake is the norm. Thanks.

    6. Lorraine McGarry says:

      Beautiful thank you for sharing your skills, my question how would you pack + transport such a delicate cake without the waterfalls breaking

      1. Serdar Yener says:

        I did not packed , I just placed on flat surface and drive carefully. The sticks behind the the waterfalls is helps.

      Hi Chef
      Thank you once again for a great and very inspiring tutorial. Can you tell me who’s fondant do you use or do you make your own?

      1. Serdar Yener says:

        I do not choose any particular fondant for my daily use yet. I am in the process of endorsing a new brand in Australia which I really like it . You will be noticed in few months to come.

    8. Adele says:

      Absolutely beautiful, and inspiring. Thank you again for sharing your skills and techniques which must come from years of practice. We appreciate your total unselfishness.

      Helle Chef,
      This is so beatiful 🙂 Can you tell me what is the product you use to fix the chocolate please?
      have a great day 🙂

      1. Serdar Yener says:

        If you mean what is the addition to chocolate to make it creamy. It is few drops of alcohol like gin,vodka or kirsch

    10. Strudel says:

      God Bless you too Chef and thank you for yet another beautiful tutorial. x

    11. Bonnie says:

      Wasn’t thinking about needing to keep it cool! Thank you for answering.

    12. Bonnie says:

      As always, you give me the step by step directions that I so badly want, & need. I may never produce one like this, but I WILL use YOUR WAY of doing all the little things that most people take for granted. The way you make these rocks, are so inventive. Huge, yet light and airy. Thanks also for the little trick to produce the small rocks, that look so much more realistic than most one sees. Do you think it possible to use chocolate in place of the wood for the basic trees, since the greenery is so light? Like you did in the one with the chocolate fish? Once again, thank you for such an in depth tutorial.

      1. Serdar Yener says:

        Yes Bonnie It is possible to use chocolate for brunches . 3 things.. Little thicker…when you handling to place on a cake , it has to be cold … upper parts somewhere attached to cake like I did on lower one..
