Thank you so much Chef Yener, as usual your work is nothing but Excellent. You’re a great teacher. I am looking forward to making. Thank you so much
This is such a fantastic video! And everything was done so well!! Not only the wonderful lessons but also the filming. As usual, I feel like I didn’t miss a thing! You make a GREAT team and I love every video I have ever seen from you and your wonderful, talented family. Thank you to all involved!
the air conditioning isn’t great so could you do the royl icing to do the decorations rather than chocolate since it would melt?
Yes, but consider that finishing will take longer time.
Thank you for another incredible tutorial. I’ve been trying for years to make my faces more realistic & your methods, particularly for the creation of the eyes & filling with Royal Icing are genius! Apart from the one you specifically mention as being made from a glue stick, are the two other clear tools made from larger glue sticks?
It’s really awesome and lots of tips I learned, Thank you So much.
this tutorial is amazing love it .i am going to try to make Santa thank you mr yener
Great bunch of tips and tricks again, Mr. Yener. Especially how to make the eye lids (I loved it), the whole face and the glasses. Amazing! Merry Christmas to you and to your family. And Merry Christmas to all the members of Yeners way.
Very cute Santa. Thank you so much for teaching us.
Looks amazing! And of course completely out of my league. But I am hoping to try the gingerbread house next weekend. 🙂
I can’t wait to try this tutorial!!! I love Santa!
Thanks Chef!
Very excited to learn that .thanks chef
