Terms for using my tutorials
When using my tutorials or techniques explained in my tutorials all I need is that you say or write "Inspired by Talty" somewhere on the description, that's all I'm asking for. A link back to my gallery or tutorial is appreciated, but not necessary. You can make anything in my tutorials for personal or commercial purposes (yes, that means you can sell what you make) but you can't claim these techniques as your own. No redistribution, reposting or repacking of my tutorials, images, text or any part of them is allowed. They can't be translated to other languages without my permission (ask me about it). FREE TUTORIAL, NEVER TRY TO SELL IT.

---------------------
UPDATE: The amazing ~Snowfern pointed out some mistakes I had made about the baking times. She explained to me why it was important to bake your items at the correct temperature, for the right amount of time. Even if your minis look fine, they're raw in the inside and they will deteriorate overtime! Not immediately, but in a few years they will crumble... so please, I can't stress how important it is to learn to bake your creations correctly!

I am sorry everyone for the mistake, I hope I didn't cause trouble I am not perfect and I am still learning, so if you see me making any more mistakes please let me know I really want to help, so I certainly don't want to give false information. Please give some love to ~Snowfern !

MY MOST AMBITIOUS TUTORIAL TO THIS DAY IS FINALLY COMPLETED.

One of the tutorials that helped me the most when I was learning how to make cakes was this [link] by Betsy Niederer
If you still have trouble understanding how to texture the cake, I recommend you see this video [link] by *fairchildart
Cake brush by ~Nana-viciouS

Cakes are one of the most complicated things I do, so the tutorial ended up being quite long... actually they're not complicated, they're quite easy but they involve many steps.

This took me months to finish, months! I took the first photos 3 months ago, and the last one just a couple of days ago. It was getting ridiculous: the more I advanced, the more I felt the need to take a new photo, explain a new technique, revise everything... I had to stop myself from dragging the tutorial any longer. It's finished, but I'm sure that I'll want to revise it again in the future.

Well that explains why the lightning is so inconsistent. I'm sorry about that, I hope it's not too annoying.

My next tutorial is going to be something quick and easy or I'll die what to do next?

Where did you purchase your round cookie cutter ? I can't seem to find one %u2022^%u2022

Talty In reply to Strangelyadorable [2013-03-26 16:01:20 +0000 UTC]

Sorry for the late reply! You can use any baking/cooking circle cutters that you find, they're quite cheap. Makin's also makes a nice set with three cutters on different sizes, it's quite good quality and cheap, but I don't know if they're available in the Philippines. If you can't find any circle cutters you can use a soda can, just cut a strip and tape the ends when you have the size that you want be careful if there's sharp edges!

Hello, I had a quick question and it wasn't explained. You showed how to add the metal wire to attach a chain, etc to. However, you also have a picture with the metal attached where the icing is on the cake already. Did you just insert the wire for that one? Thanks!

Talty In reply to Tayusuki [2013-01-13 16:05:05 +0000 UTC]

Icing can be smothered over the loop without much trouble, but if you're using "fondant" you can cut a small slit to insert the loop

I've just bought 4 colours of Sculpey and some bakeable adhesive and have been searching on dA for inspiration. I've more than found it here. Thank you so much for being such a beautiful, open and skilled person/artist, willing to share what you've learned in such a clear way. I'm so grateful and *hope* to have something worthwhile to show you soon LOL
I haven't done any handicrafts for a few years now so wish me luck
