FEEDBACK:

First of all let me say how wonderful you are to share all of your secrets!! I too Love Love Love making new designs with chocolates. I am however limited as I can not do flowers and some of the art work you have here, but I compensate decorating cakes with molded chocolate. I make the cakes for all the children's Birthday's and they tell me the theme they want and we see what happens from there, they love it, I love it we have a really good time. But I am so glad you have so much for me to get ideas from and I will be checking your site and may have some questions in the future. I am very very critical when it comes to candy and cakes and how they look, but I have to tell you, Your work is the best I have seen. I assume you sell your goodies or have a shop if not may I suggest strongly that you consider such. I again want to Thank you for sharing ,what a gift it is to share with others and you will be blessed.

FEEDBACK:

Hi Michelle! I was just searching for some buttercream icing recipes online until I came across your site.. all I can say about you and your creative ideas is WOW!!! You inspired me to experiment in baking back again! actually I didn't take baking classes at all - I don't even have any background in baking, but I have this passion, this burning desire to at least be able to create a perfect cake that I will be proud of one day.. I also have this desire to put up a bakeshop.. the thing is, I don't know where to start.. I have been practicing baking basic cakes following the instructions from cook books and the net.. it didn't turn out well at first and I needed to keep re-doing it to get the desired cake result. It really got me frustrated but my passion to bake cakes didn't stop me from continuing the trial and error thing. haha.. and I've become too careful this time with my measurements so I won't get messed up.

I'm thankful that I found your comprehensive site.. everything I needed, I found here, from different cake recipes to icings to decorating tips.. I just love it!

I have one question though, I'm confused between icing and frosting, are they different or just about the same? and also I spoiled my first buttercream icing, I got the recipe from a different site. The ingredients are just the same as your frosting recipe, maybe just a few differences in the measurements. Well, instead of the icing to turn out light and fluffy (you know the icing that's commonly used for birthday cakes), it turned out still sugary in texture and too sweet that it can't be topped on a cake. What could be the problem? I used confectioner's/powdered sugar and it was even beaten at high speed for more than 15 mins. Could the problem be me? I just followed the instructions, but to no avail.

By the way, I just want to tell you that you have such a wonderful website. Thank you for sharing your knowledge to us, especially to people like me, who are still learning.

May you continue inspiring others through your creativity! God bless you and your loved ones!

Answer:
Dear Halley, Thank you so, so, so, so, so much for your kind words - you have put the biggest smile on my face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My site is really only new but I have really enjoyed every minute of putting it together.

There really isn't any difference between icing and frosting. It's just a name - in Australia we tend to use the term icing, in America the term frosting is more widely used.

I think your icing turned out just fine - it sounds a little like the texture you will get with my chocolate cake icing or the quick and easy frosting recipes. If you want a smooth texture you will not be disappointed with my buttercream recipe.

Thanks again for visiting my site - spread the word as word of mouth is my only form of advertising!

Contact me anytime with questions, answering them will only improve my site.

Bye for now, Michelle
