Brush corn syrup in a 1/4inch edge at bottom of frosting where cake meets plate to seal fondant on cake and platter.
I use a leftover square of ceramic tile from when we redid our kitchen floor. It''s 12quot;x12quot; so there''s lot of space to play with, and when I finish an item, I can put the
How do I use the machine to condition clay? First, press the clay into a fairly flat sheet. (If the clay is too stiff to do this, you''ll need to warm and condition it first.) Feed your sheet through the machine at the thickest setting on the Atlas, this is setting #1. Fold the sheet in half and feed it through again, foldfirst. Repeat this three or four times.
