*sigh* I'm sorry but I am going to have to steal the Mum and Dad cake for my wedding cake. If using 'standard' cake batter, how many days do you think they would be good for when completed? (Would I have any breathing space? *grin*)

You are an inspiration, my dream is to decorate cakes like you one day. It just goes to show how sometimes the simple approach can be the most stunning, ~~just beautiful.

If I may ask, where did you go to learn your craft? Because I would sign up for those classes in a second. As long as they are in Sydney of course!

Keep up your posts, your creations are a joy to see.

Kind Regards.

[mackandnorm]

@delta2910 Thank you very much! You should give it a try! I'm mostly self taught but I did start by doing a local beginners cake decorating short course that showed me the basics in regards to modelling/gumpaste work, fondant work & cake preparation. I'll send you the details of my course ; )

[delta2910]

@mackandnorm....oh, thank you so much, that would be fantastic, and so appreciated.... God Bless.

Kind Regards.

[steeltipboots]

i have been thinking about learning more about cake decorating. I do cheesecakes right now, but the fondant bug seems to have bitten me. This is a beautiful video. Your artistic work captured a surreal mood for every occasion. I admire your work and appreciate you sharing them with us. You are indeed a master of your craft!

[mackandnorm]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I am still new to this - been doing it for a year now so to hear your comments has really made my day ; ) Good luck with your fondant cake decorating - it's great fun!

[Cinshie]

Your cakes are so beautiful! Can I ask you though, what do you use to imprint the letters into the fondant, such as in Mackayla's name? Again, such beautiful work!

[mackandnorm]

I use the Wilton- 'Make any message letter press'.

[cncford]

Hi

How do you do your writing in the fondant?

[mackandnorm]

I use the Wilton- 'Make any message letter press'.

[m0423]

Your cakes are really beautiful. I have become really interested in cake decorating and I try really really hard. It is not as easy as it seems. Thank you for sharing your videos and all your hard work.

michelle

[mackandnorm]

Hi Michelle, that's great that you have a great interest in cake decorating! It does take a lot of work intially but the results are so worth all the hard work - even the cakes that dont turn out the way I hoped always teaches me something. Thank you for appreciating my cakes & video ; )

[CarollJay]

You have super powers...

[mackandnorm]

[sunnysky2005]

You are very good! Your fondant comes out so smooth and perfect and neat. Love all your ideas. I look forward to seeing more of your creations. What kind of fondant do you use?

[mackandnorm]

Thanks! I use Bakels Pettinice icing(fondant). I love your cakes too - just saw the dora one - too cute!

[sweettoothmom1]

very nice. the fondant is perfect. not a single crack or wrinkle. what did u use to imprint the letters in your first few cakes? very neat script. thanks for sharing

[mackandnorm]

From Wilton called Make Any Message Letter Press- I think you can get it from their website for about $10? It's for piping over with but i find i dont need to ; )

[dantwaz]

Andrea I'm so glad you put all your cakes into this video, they're so amazing.Looking forward to seeing more over the next 6 months! xo

[mackandnorm]

[sherwinjtb]

[mackandnorm]

Yes they are! ; )

[laurapoopie]

What a wonderful video! You've showcased your talent very well! :) Love all your cakes! ;)

[mackandnorm]

Thanks again for your kind words!

[RylanTy]

Andrea, I have to admit that I cannot find any flaws in your cakes. It's perfect. You pay TONS of attention on details, whether its a birthday cake or a simple cupcake. I also love the "fresh and soft" look of your work. You always pull it off with the right combination of the pastel colors. You have come a long way, I can compare your works of art with a professional .

By the way, I have one question, how do you get to have that imprint of letters? Do you get ideas from sugarbloom cupcakes?

[mackandnorm]

Hi Rylan, thanks again for all your kind words! I still have a lot to learn & am greatful for what I have learnt so far.

The imprint letters are from Wilton - 'Make any message letter set' is what I think it is called. Just go to their website. It is suppose to make an impression so you can pipe over it but I find I dont need too. I think it's about $10?

I just recently discovered sugarbloom cupcakes & think they r great - got the 3 toned rose idea from them but I was first inspired

[mackandnorm]

a couple of years ago by Le Cupcake of Sydney. Back then I fell inlove with her cupcakes & wanted to give it a try. I email her for advice & she told me she was home taught & had done short local community courses & recommend I do the same.

I had no skills at the time & my first attempts at cupcakes looked like they were made by kids! - it turned me off for a little while but over a year later I did do a course & have not looked back!My teacher Lyne is who I credit for my skills so far ; )

[RylanTy]

Thanks for the kind knowledge you shared about the wilton impression set. I will definetly check that out.

Your cakes and cupcakes are AMAZING so keep it up. I'm going to look forward on seeing the next ones.

[mackandnorm]

You're welcome!

[mackandnorm]

Hey Kimmy! Thanks for the comment! See now you can see what I can do with my photos - hope it inspires you to do the same!

I was sooo disappointed the other night when I loaded it on & it came on with no audio that I made it a private video until last night when I disputed them over 'fair use' laws & it came back on with sound a couple of hours later! Yeah! - thank you Youtube! I've got to thank the youtuber (xstatictpknows) that showed me how to do that!

[fishnpix]

that was a fantastice video of all your cakes, great work my dearest friend,

Kimmy :-)
