Dear Serdar,
I have been buying classes from another cake Platform, but I must say you are the best.
Have noticed that there is no template for the tree, is it possibel to email one to me.
Thank you Chef Yener! – Hilda
Hi, Hilda There are couple of people asked the same question. I will tell Serkan to add this template to the course material. Thanks for the request.
Hello Chef! Has there been a template for the tree for Simon & Simone? If so, how can I get a copy of it please?
Denise (FluffyD)
Please check downloadable course materials in the next few day .It will be there. Thanks
Dersler acilmiyor .Yardimci olurmusunuz
Great tutorial. Am looking forward to trying this out especially the funiture. If I had a quarter of your talent I would be over the moon.
There is no tree in the download.
When you roll out the pastillage for the chairs how thick is it?
5mm sitting area, 2mm back. Thanks
Dear Serdar, I have a question re your modelling paste. How long can I keep it? I guess that with the amount of royal icing inside, the shelf life is hardly more than a week or two in the fridge. Am I right?
Thank you, also for the great tutorial. Non only for the figurines, I love the furniture too 🙂
Regads, Elisabetta
Hi Elisabetta Yes you are close. If you don’t have 202 in the pastillage you can keep the paste one or two weeks in the room temperature. In the fridge more than a month. Keep it air tight . It’s get a little wet in one side in the bag . just knead and go for it.. Thanks
Thank you Serdar. I have tried it out and it is a wonderful modelling paste, especially if there is no much time for letting things set. I have found that the surface cracks a little when drying and thin pieces such as arms and hands tend to do more so. Probably, though, it is because I am not quick enough in working with it. Maybe I’ll try it again, adding some drops of glycerin and a little shortening to your recipe … Thank you again for the great tutorial!
What an awesome class. I really enjoy it so much, like always. You are so talented, you never stop amazing me with all your fantastic techniques. I tip my hat to you chef Yeners.
Thank you Grisel. You are so kind.
