      In the section Member’s projects, we can see a tree with honeycombs. This member project is totaly amazing ! I can’t get my eyes off of it.
      I would like to do a similar but with a real cake (tree). Do you have an idea how I can fix the honeycomb to the cake ? Thank you

    2. Sonia Nadeau says:

      Please, two questions:
      1-How do you wash the pyrex cup, at the end ?
      2-I undestand that you add tylose (2%) in the fondant. But, I can’t see how many you add in the fondant ? For exemple: if we have 100 gr of fondant, how many gr of tylose should I add to the fondant? Sorry for the quality of my english.

      1. Serdar Yener says:

        Soak in hot water or reheat in the microvawe with water inside
        2gr for 100g

      Hi. Can you please explain what you sprayed on at the end? Is that the confectioners glaze? Do you just pour it into a spray bottle? Thank you!

      1. Serdar Yener says:

        Yes it is but if you use the spray can it is much better because it has no yellowish colour.

    4. Susan George says:

      Hi Yener
      Is there an alternative to using the flame to dry? Can I just leave isomalt to dry overnight?

      Cheers

      Susan

      1. Serdar Yener says:

        Isomalt does not need to dry. It sets in a few minutes. I think you have to rephrase your question.

    5. daymuffin says:

      hello, I am planning to make a bus cake, with reference to this technique, i want to pour isomalt into a frame of pastillage, so that the isomalt can look like glass window on the bus. But I am wondering, would the high temperature isomalt melts the pastille or fondant with CMC?

      1. Serdar Yener says:

        No, it will not. Cool the isomalt to 125c before pouring

    6. BonnynotBonnie says:

      Amazing! 🙂 Is there a technique to make the isomalt curve? As in if I wanted to make the wings of a butterfly curve up a little?

      1. BonnynotBonnie says:

        Never mind, I just found there is an isomalt fruit basket tutorial, I will watch that. 😀

      2. Serdar Yener says:

        You can bend isomalt quite easily before get cold but if you making like stained glass technique, it is too late to bend.

      Bonjour
      En premier une très bonne année 2017 en continuant de nous enchanter grâce à vos cours.
      Question : quelle quantité d’isomalt il faut prévoir (poids en g svp)
      Cordialement
      Patricia (France)

        Salut Patricia, J’ai utilisé le traducteur pour comprendre votre question. Je ne pouvais toujours pas comprendre. S’il vous plaît demander à nouveau avec plus simple façon. Merci

      1. Serdar Yener says:

        Please search in the internet. Thanks

      Happy New Year. Thank you…. this is beautiful.

      Dear Chef Yener, Thank you so much for yet another amazing tutorial. What a wonderful technique you show us here again! I think this is very beautiful! Though I’m not sure whether I would venture here. Especially casting with precision with the isomalt seems very difficult. Maybe with a bit more tips about how to troubleshoot mistakes or problems that I would dare to. Perhaps next time?

      1. Serdar Yener says:

        Thank you for your kindness. The only thing I would recommend, is to make the partitions a little larger and less in numbers. And most important, plan well.
