Mentor In: Fondant, Bread, Cake
Why I want to be mentor: I've learned so much through trial and error and from gathering tips here and there. I'd love to help others be less intimidated and learn this rewarding art!
Lesson Learned: When the kitchen gets hot, your fondant is not cooperating, and your temper is flaring, it's time to walk away and cool down. Just remember....it's only cake!
Tip: Fondant too soft? add more powdered sugar or a bit of corn starch. Too dry and tearing? add a bit of water. Too sticky? add a bit more shortening.
