I have 2 questions, in the past you had a reference to a 4 leaf flower (Hydranga) cutter, where did you get that from? I don't seem to find your tutorial on this one any more. And secondly, why do you use a mix of sugarpaste and flower paste with the veiner? Do you get more of an impression from the veiner? I have been using just flower paste and found that the veining effect was not as pronounced as in yours. Thanks for your advice. Regards Karin Hi Louise

Thanks for the reply! Would like to know if the CMC has to be added to the rolled fondant directly, before I shape it? And when u say 'poured fondant' is it the regular rolled fondant heated? Please let me know. Appreciate your taking time to reply to all the queries here. You are very, very generous with your knowledge!! Hi Louise! Thanks for the reply!

You may just need it to dry for a little bit longer. Suri: No marzipan is too soft, but you can try? Lidia: http://www.sunflower-sugarart.co.uk/eGallery/details.php?image_id=46 You can get the Petunia cutters from here: http://www.design-a-cake.co.uk/ look under TinkerTech Two. ConnieT: BC & fondant suma: Yes CMC is the "same" so just use that. I just add it sparingly to the fondant. You can feel the fondant "thicken" dont add to much. It will harden over time. You should go by the expiration date on the packets. If it is opened store it well in a plastic bag and then in a airthight container. beldandy: You can get the silicone veiner from here:

I could not find Tylo powder here in India. Is it OK to use CMC(sodium carboxymethyl cellulose) or is it the same thing?? Please let me know. And the proportion to the fondant for a small quantity. Also, I have some packets of Wilton fondant. How long will it keep opened and unopened? Should I store it in the fridge? Its very precious for me as we don't get it easily here. Help!!
