We are doing a 2 layer 12x18 sheet cake with two 6” hearts on top for a bridal shower Sunday, Sept 4. We will be leaving Thursday evening and traveling 55 miles to our son’s house.. Then Friday afternoon we will travel another 180 miles to my mother-in-laws. On Sunday we will drive another 5 miles to the shower location. All this traveling will be done in a motor home. I plan on making the heart cakes here and freezing them; they will easily fit in the RV freezer. Our problem is the two sheet cake layers. I’m afraid to use an oven I’m not familiar with on Saturday to bake them, and equally afraid of transporting them the distance. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks Lynn and John - Please contact them at jmartine@houston.rr.com

- Thu-Van Nguyen has questions on the 3-D
swan mold. What the swans come out like? If there are any pictures
(the cakes done with swan(s) decoration on them)? And are there any
instructions enclosed ?
- If you go to www.sugarpaste.com and click on molds you'll
see the swan. The mold comes in 2 halves. You fill each mold half,
unmold and stick the 2 together. A little smoothing where the seam
is and you have a beautiful swan.
- Amateur baker asks: I'm making a cake 6,8,10,14,16. Do I need separator
plates? Also, icing with frosting pride
- will I need stabilizer? She will be using frosting pride according
to Wilton's measurements and figures she'd need about 34+ cups to decorate
this cake. How many cups are there in a pint of frosting pride? Name
withheld on request.
- Separator plates can be used for stacked as well as tiered
cakes. Usually for stacked there is support or a separator on the
board the tier is on. No info on Frosting Pride.

I use light spackling. You have to thin it down to the consistency
you need
- Doug asks: Can you freeze petit fours
that are covered with quick pour fondant? let Doug know at dougbrowning1@attbi.com
- Chris Olsen @ Mrs. O's Kitchen, Inc. olink@mrs-o-kitchen.com.
Yes, you can freeze these petit fours. Keep them in the papers and
place in a plastic square container suitable for freezing. You can
then just take them out as you need them. They should keep well
for about 60 to 90 days!
