I LOVE this website! I learned cake decorating through classes at Michaels, but depended on dvd’s & books to develop my skills after- time consuming & expensive. Now I can go to MyCakeSchool.com anytime for clear & simple instructions on all the cakes & techniques I’ve been wanting to try! And you make it look so easy! You’re awesome! Thanks!
Melissa,
Do you have a tutorial for a hat cake? I need to make one next month.
Thank you!

Just joined but this looks like it’s going to be a fun place to learn lots of new ideas.
Hi there, I just have to say i love, love, love your new site!!! The other was great, but this is even better, great job, and worth the wait, congrats. Also all your halloween ideas are fantastic! I love this holiday, my first born son was born on halloween and it has always been an important holiday. But now with my sons passing at 18 yrs old, it is very difficult to see all the halloween displays everywhere. Our family makes an effort to still celebrate his life by still making halloween a special part of our lives however difficult it may be. All these ideas of yours are perfect, and although they brought tears to my eyes, we will be using all of them for his birthday memorial. Thanks for enjooying halloween, it feels like the world celebrates my sons life when they partake in its holiday even though they never knew him.
Roseanna, thank you so much for your post. My heart aches for you and your family–I can only imagine what you all have been through in losing your son. I know that he is still very much with all of you, and your loving memorial/celebration of his life every Halloween for his birthday is such a special way of honoring him. Thanks for sharing with us, and know that you all (and your son) will be in my thoughts this Halloween– xoxox
Don’t forget about your Canadians fans…our Thanksgiving is fast approaching. Can’t wait to see this years ideas!
I have a question about piping royal icing onto plain wire. Will it stick? I’m having a hard time finding wire that’s covered in fabric like you use. I plan on putting the wires in a straw filled w/ chocolate and then put into the cake. My main concern was if the royal icing would ahere correctly to the wire or if it would dry and fall off. Thanks for your wonderful website. I had debated for a few weeks if I wanted to join or not, I’m so glad I did. What a wealth of information and ideas. Thank you!!
Hi Periwinklecakes— I’ve never tried to pipe royal onto uncovered wire, so I cannot say for sure. With the covered wire, it helps to rub a tiny bit of light corn syrup or piping gel on the wire first–it just seems to help it to adhere. Not sure if the same is true for uncovered wire. If you try it, let us know how it goes. I would think that it would work.
Hi Melissa,
For the ruffling cupcakes and cake that are coming up, will the wilton ruffling tips work or just the 070 and 050?
Hi Debra—It’s a good old Wilton petal tip 104 :0)
Melissa: I am just a new member but absolutely love this site! I cannot tell you how much I enjoy watching your tutorials. I have passed on the info to many of my friends who love to decorate cakes too! Thanks again!
I love the new site. Love the new tutorials, halloween cupcuts are so cute. May the Lord continue to bless you with so much talent.
Hi Melissa, I am trying to color the Wilton chocolate melts with food coloring. Is there a trick? I was trying to color the dark chocolate black (after melting) and it got all weird.
do you have to keep gum paste in the fridge?
Hi Robyn, I don’t know if you’ve gotten an answer to your question about coloring the candy melts, but if you are trying to use regular food coloring or gel colors it wont work. The water content in them will cease up your chocolate, what you need to get are candy colors. Micheals, Hobby Lobby, and online stores sell them and these are oil based colors made especially for chocolate. This will end your problem.
