What kind of fondant do I use ?
I usually use home made marshmallow fondant now. Since I purchased an airbrush ( Kopykake Airmaster )- I can also color my homemade fondant black, red and brown. Before I still resorted to buying the ready made fondant bec it was difficult to color if you want a dark and solid shade.
Recipe for mm fondant is here on the website and the video is on my youtube channel.
How to price cakes
Well, this is a touchy subject. If you are a legitimate business owner- or would like to be one, have your work evaluated by a credible party. If you are like me, limited to making cakes to friends and family, I charge only a fraction of what the market price is, because I dont sell my work to the public. Have a picture of your work sent to a good cake shop and ask them how much it would take to copy that cake-- that can give you an idea on how much your work fares in the market.
What kind of icing do I use?
I use swiss meringue buttercream. It has excellent texture and a smooth taste and you can flavor it very easily. look at dyannbakes' recipe on youtube, she has a tutorial on how to make it as well.
