[ldpd2009]

Skill takes time, and most of us appreciate the time you take to take us step by step through the process. Thanks Mayen, I have learned a lot from you. (I also apologize if I spelled your name wrong,lol:-) ).

@baldwinhme, you can make edible glue by adding 1/4 tsp cmc or tylose powder to 1 1/2 tbsps of purified water (or cooled boiled water). it may look lumpy at first, but leaving the mixture in the fridge for a couple of hours will make lumps disappear. it lasts for a week.

Thx a lot. This technique is amazing.

Your videos are definitely NOT boring. They are very helpful and I love them. The only complaint is that there is a lot of blurring and I lost some of what you are doing..

[baldwinhme]

how do I make or buy edible glue?

Thanks this is really helpful but I have a question. For my cake project I wanted to make a person with curly hair, how would you do that?

[oatmealoverboard]

I think you do a FANTASTIC job at instructing, I now search for your tutorials because I know you take your time and explain things clearly and your directions are easy to follow....never boring :-). Keep up the great work!!!

Awesome, thanks so much for taking time to help us beginners, I TRULY NEEDED TO SEE SOMEONE DEMOSTRATE! My daughter is having twin girls and I want to make fondant babies for her shower cake and this may help me!!!

[chicklets0524]

Thank you so much for this!! I can not afford to purchase Aine2's tutorials, and these are wonderful!!!

[paulgirl2]

Very cute & helpful! I was trying to make 'realistic' faces,& after 4 hours, decided to make them 'cute'! What media you use here? I'm vegetarian, so I make my own fondant, without gelatin, but now buy Duff Goldman's fondant at Michael's.(tastes really good and no gelatin) But it never entirely hardens, and things droop. I have added gumpaste in all amounts, and often see cracks or dryness. I'm making a cake NOW cause it's huge, (this cake I'm making will not have the figures eaten) so any tips?

You are so wonderful to share as you do. I greatly appreciate the time that you take and your extraordinary attention to detail. You are an outstanding teacher. Thank you.

ur the best

[piperyendor]

Mayen, you are one of the best teachers on you tube. The person who said you are boring is sad. You do your tutorials with love and thorough simplicitiy. I thank you for your gift of sharing. Keep up the good work.

[raingiver]

1. You're not boring. You're thourough. :)

2. Next time you need to hold something close the camera, hold you hand behind what you're trying to focus on. It's what the beauty gurus do when showing a brush or small product. Just a friendly fyi.

3. Awesome as always, Mayen.

[WatchThemGrow1]

[Messiet]

Thank you for sharing your technique. I will have to try it soon. And by the way, your videos are not boring! I always look forward to your videos!

[weddingplanneramy]

Love this technique. i should have done this for my bella figurine instead of each strand and curling it! and you are not boring in your videos., i love it when it is long because you add more steps and i can see how the details are being made! Thanks for posting this!

[tdillistone]

I like that you talk in your tutorials. You are not boring! While I'm watching the videos I have questions that you eventually answer while you're demonstrating.

[triciabaysa]

[meggonzalez]
