Thank you so much for the tutorial! I want to make it only 2D, lying on one side of a book. Saw your tutorial at You Tube for the book cake and learned so much tips and tricks! Thanks a lot and Greetings from Austria!
Sir Yerner,
Thank you so very much for your selfless attention given to details in fun-filled tutorials.
My only question is can one use Royal icing in place of the White chocolate in gluing. We don’t get that here
Yes of course but give some time to dry before continue details.
It’s so cute.
I hope if you make for us the same shapes but the baby being on the air but not in a topper but with a real cake
I really hope to learn that technique from a great teacher like you ?
