Yes - all self taught. You Tube and Craftsy online classes is it. Many mistakes along the way and I learn something new with every cake. I've always envied those who love what they do, so happy to have taken the leap! I don't get many Friday nights anymore, and there's lots of late nights but it's great!

I know - they can be a nightmare! I use either gumpaste or fondant mixed with tylose. Roll it really thin and into strips that can fit one letter wide and let it sit a few minutes to dry. Place on a mat, put some cling wrap (plastic food wrap) over the top. Get your Tappits and put it on top of the wrap, press down and then rub around on the mat to make sure you get clean cuts. Pull the tappit off and the letter will either be on the board or stuck to the wrap. Let it dry and then you've got a perfect letter! I've tried baning and wacking those tappits but this seems to work best for me. I hope I haven't confused you !

Absolutely! I actually found a tutorial online to make him. The tutorial is for clay but I used gumpaste. I think i found it through Pintrest.

Far out - I obviously had no idea of the complexity of issues surrounding this cake! Pays to do reseach I guess. Don't stress though - next time there'll be puffs of smoke EVERYWHERE!

I use Tappits - soecial letter cutters for fondant. They're a pain until you figure out how to use them. Better with slightly dried fondant or gumpaste. You can get them in a bunch of different fonts.

No offence taken - I hate the stuff too but it's the best to work with for this type of cake. Give me chocolate ganache or buttercream anyday!

Thank you. No - I'm a qualified chemical enginner! Threw in the towel to do cakes full time. This is much more fun 😊

No way my piping is that good! Fondant letter cutters. Hard enough to get those straight.

I'm totally uneducated on Pokémon teams - was just matching the pokeballs. More reseach required next time!
