Mac tips part two! 1. The ingredients: I have found fresh egg whites work best, my fave sugar is @redpathsugar and fave almond flour is from @costco_canada My game changing ingredient is 2-3g of egg white powder from @mccallsbakers which helps create a more stable meringue and less hollows. 2. Weigh your ingredients! Macarons are temperamental enough as is so the least you can do is make sure you're actually following your recipe. 3. Colour liquid whites; a big component of macs is a stable meringue and good macronage. If you're adding colour late in the game you could ruin all of your hard work. I also prefer @thesugarart colours which are water activated, when you add them to the liquid whites (before whipping!) you let the colour fully develop and can get rich and bright tones without a ton of dye (don't skip this step for black or red, it's essential)! 4. I use the Swiss meringue method (heating the sugar and egg whites together) because I find it creates a stronger meringue and less hollows- it also helps deepen darker colours! It also reduces the chances of over mixing. 5. Sift together dry ingredients: Clumps are no ones friend and will crack a shell. 6. Whip to stiff peaks: They should still look glossy but should clump up in your whisk- I took them a little too far in this video so whip a little less. 7. Fold slowly: You just whipped all that air into the batter so don't knock it all out. I like to stop folding a little earlier than "lava stage" because this ensures I haven't over done it and I can tap any extra air out when I bang my trays later. 8. All batter into bag: I only pipe ONE tray at a time (30 shells) but my recipe makes 90 so I'm left with a lot of batter. I clip the end of my bag and then pour it all in, this helps the batter keep the right consistency while exposing it to less air while you wait for each tray to bake.

If you've seen my recent Jungle Book cake and want to learn how the figures were made, this is my first of three videos showing how I created each character. Bagheera is a really fun one to create and only uses a few colours and basic techniques so it's a great one to try!

Okay so, I made videos for each of the figures you have been seeing on my Sesame Street cake BUT they aren't reels. And I know, I know we don't have the attention span for things over a minute anymore but if I sped them up more than I already have, I don't even think there would be point in showing them 🤷‍♀️ So I'm here to ask, would you prefer short reels with cute transitions or longer videos showing the whole process? I promise there's no wrong answer! I just want to know what YOU like best💕 As always I use @satin.ice gumpaste for my figures Head 50g Body 50g Arms 5g each Legs 7g each Music: No room Musician: Jeff Kaale #cakebysassyandsweet #sassyandsweet #dashofsass #toronto #mississaugafoodie #torontofood #torontofoodie #mississaugabaker #foodstagram #cakedecorating #cakedecoration #buttercream #buttercreamcake #customcakes #torontocakes #torontodesserts #mississaugacakes #mississaugadessert #mississaugabakery #torontobakery #mississaugamom #torontomom #mississaugabride #torontobride #birthdaycake #birthdaycakes #sesamestreetcake #elmocake #sesamestreet

Hello Monday! If the time change has got anyone confused and exhausted, I'm with you 100% today 😴🥱 So I thought a good way to start the day would be to make Chase with me! This is a full video not just a reel, I know I know reels are easier to watch BUT it's important to do a "full length" for this because so many little details go into creating custom figures! Tell me the truth, do you like seeing the full process or would you rather just watch a quick reel of him coming together!? I use @satin.ice gumpaste for all of my figure work which I get from @papaginofoods #cakebysassyandsweet #sassyandsweet #dashofsass #toronto #mississaugafoodie #torontofood #torontofoodie #mississaugabaker #cakedecorating #cakedecoration #buttercream #buttercreamcake #customcakes #torontocakes #torontodesserts #mississaugacakes #mississaugadessert #mississaugabakery #torontobakery #mississaugamom #torontomom #mississaugabride #torontobride #pawpatrol #pawpatrolcake #chasepawpatrol #chasecake #chasepawpatrolcake #vegan #vegancake

Make Sussy with me! This little video shows the process of how I made this cutie. To be honest the video was originally 4 minutes but I sped it up because I find keeping anyones attention for 4 minutes these days seems like a stretch! I don't have weights for her because she was actually one of the first figures I filmed! Pro tip: dusting and painting after you sculpt makes a huge difference in the dimension of your character Ps: yes my styrofoam looks dirty but it's actually washed between each use😂 just stained from many different creations and dyes along the way. I've gotten new dummies since! Have questions? Let me know below!

Raccoons were obviously way ahead of their time, always wearing a mask 😷 Finally getting to upload my little tutorial for this guy! I know reels probably do better but with each little step I truly couldn't shorten it any more so here we are. Also, who knew that IGTV isn't a thing anymore...clearly feeling behind the times today! Again I use primarily Satin Ice Gumpaste and always Virgin Ice for the black fondant portion!
