As an artist who works with all mediums imaginable, I thought I knew what to do with fondant. But everything you said was definitely something I did NOT know. Great advice!!

Your voice is very soothing and relaxing. And I love the way you explain everything. I'm glad I've found your videos

The way to remove food coloring from your hands is to make a paste of baking soda and a bit of water and rub your hands gently together and then wash with soap and water. Really works!
Thank you for this excellent video with great tips. 😀

I don't recommend using 10X sugar to roll your fondant. It removes the moisture from your fondant, causing tears and/or elephant skin. The same for cornstarch, although I find it more forgiving than 10X. Use sparingly! A silicone mat is the best bet, with nothing on it...except fondant of course!
