Here's a little tutorial on using silicone molds with fondant. I make my own molds using <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0058VAG5A/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0058VAG5A&linkCode=as2&tag=wwwsweetambsc-20">Amazing Mold Putty</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=wwwsweetambsc-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0058VAG5A" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" />.

<span style="color: white;">...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The mold I'm using here is a rose. I put a little bit of shortening in the mold before pressing the fondant into it. </div>

<span style="color: white;">...</span><br />
<span style="color: black;">These molds are flexible, so once you've pressed the fondant in, you can just pop it right out. </span><br />

<span style="color: white;"> ...</span><br />
I made the tiny rose by filling just the center of the mold with fondant. I attached the roses using a small dab of icing on the back. <br />

I made these NYC designs by first flooding the cookies in white royal icing and letting them dry completely. Then, I traced the designs onto the cookies using an edible ink marker and piped over the lines with a tip 1 and thinned royal icing in black, white and gray. The black outline was added at the end. <br />

A tutorial on painting brush embroidered flowers using luster dust. <br />
<br />
When painting brush embroidery with gold luster dust, make sure to first pipe your flowers in the same color icing as the base coat. Let it dry for an hour or two before applying the gold. <br />

10 count icing refers to the consistency of the icing. To check the consistency, take a spoonful and drop it back into the bowl. It should take about 10 seconds for the icing to smooth itself out.<br />

It's something that I get an opportunity to make maybe twice a year and yesterday's Easter brunch was one of those rare occasions. This is not my first post about how much I love bread pudding, but this one is better because it has a recipe:<br />
<br />
2 15 oz. loaves of Italian bread<br />
3-3/4 c half and half<br />
1 c sugar<br />
4 whole eggs<br />
5 egg yolks<br />
1 tsp vanilla<br />
pinch of salt<br />
1 stick of unsalted butter, melted<br />
<br />
Cinnamon sugar: 1/4 c sugar plus 1 tbs cinnamon<br />
<br />
Those egg whites you'll have leftover after separating out the yolks can be used to make meringue cookies. Visit my website for <a href="https://www.sweetambs.com/recipe-2/peppermint-meringue-cookies/" target="_blank">a peppermint meringue cookie recipe</a> and a recipe for <a href="https://www.sweetambs.com/recipe-2/meringue_cookie_recipe/" target="_blank">cocoa meringues with chocolate ganache</a>! <br />

Place the sliced bread on a baking sheet and brush the tops with melted butter.<br />

<span style="color: white;"> ...</span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Put the bread under the broiler (I used the low setting) for about 4 minutes. Keep an eye on it!!</span><br />

<span style="color: black;">Use the leftover melted butter to grease a 9x13 baking dish. Arrange the bread in the dish however it best fits. Press it down with your hands after each layer. </span><br />

I like to overlap the bread on the top layer just to make things interesting. <br />

<span style="color: white;"> ...</span><br />
Make the custard: Place eggs and yolks in a mixing bowl and slowly add 1/2 cup sugar while whisking. Set aside. Place the half and half with the other 1/2 cup sugar in a saucepan and heat just until it starts to steam. Remove it from the heat and add the vanilla extract. Slowly pour the half and half mixture into the eggs while whisking vigorously. If you notice that the eggs have coagulated in your custard mixture, you can pour it through a fine mesh strainer. <br />
<span style="color: white;">...</span><br />
I like to add my custard to the bread in two parts. <br />

The first half of the mixture will absorb quickly. The second half of the mixture should be added a little at a time. Wait until it is fully absorbed before adding more. This took me over an hour of pouring and waiting to prevent it from overflowing. You can press the bread down with your hands or the bottom of another baking dish in order to release some of the air bubbles in between pours. <br />

At this point, you can either bake the bread pudding or wrap it up in plastic and refrigerate it to bake in the morning. <br />

This one is made with apples, caramelized onion and cheddar. I use a basic ratio of 1 qt of half and half to 8 eggs plus a little salt and pepper for 2 pies. You can pretty much add whatever other ingredients you want! <br />

I created this cookie display for the show using foam core, Styrofoam, and gold wrapping paper. I covered all of the pieces of the display in ivory fondant and piped a shell border in royal icing and painted it gold. The topper is made of 5 cookies stuck together with icing to form a cube. <br />

As you can see in this photo, I cut small triangles out of cookie dough and used them as stands for the square cookies. <br />

The fancy square cookies were too heavy to be held up by the cookie stands, so I placed them on easels instead. <br />
