Again another amazing tutorial thank you, I am definitely going to try this, you make it look so easy which always inspires me, I usually experiment/practice with fondant first until I get it right and then I use something stronger that will set that way if I make a mistake or many mistakes lol I just roll it up and start again.
Many thanks again
Hi Deirdre, you will not have an easy trial with fondant. Please use pastillage for an immediate result. The wings have to dry first 5-6 hours minimum before attache to the freshly modelled body.
Thank You Chef Yener for all I have been taught after watching your video’s for so long. Your a wonderful instructor and directions are very easy to understand. I am going to do the doves next month for my daughters cake. Love this technique you really make it look very simple but, since this will be my first try with pastillage I am sure I will not do as well as you demonstrate. But, you have to start somewhere. Thank you again and the sale is wonderful for people living on fixed budgets like myself plan on taking a few of the 50 percent discounts on some of the classes I have been admiring for so long.
Hi Chef,
I have been trying to make the Doves and the wings turn out fine and the body has the correct shape but as soon as I assemble the wings to the body and insert the cake pop stick the body starts to crack, Please suggest what I can do or what I am doing wrong.
Thanks so much. I love all your tutorials!
You have to pock the wings and the stick right after shaping.
Helĺo Chef Yeners..im very impressed and would like to try it out..however,i am vegetarian..is there a substitute for egg white for this preparation?
