Tip from a Customer - Kara Kaufman
I tried making fondant for the first time tonight and was starting to get frustrated because it was sticking to everything and I didn't see how I would ever move it onto my cake. Then I remembered that the cake decoraters on Food Network always have their Silpats!!! I pulled mine out, rolled the fondant on that, flipped it over on the cake and pulled the Silpat right off--perfect!
Take care,
Kara"

Let it set up and then peel out. Wrap in saran and tie a bow around it as a delicious gift.
*Or you can use your creation as an “edible plate”. Wrap it up in saran then put your other baking goodies on top. Wrap the whole thing in cellophane and top it with a bow.
Perfect gift for teachers, neighbors, school bus driver, co-workers or even family.
*Make your favorite dessert or even a quiche in the tray or mold for Christmas morning.

One tub of white frosting---frost top

Pumpkin Jigglers
This creation was made by my brilliant friend, Dee Putnam. She took two jigglers made in the Petit Four Tray and set them together to make the pumpkin shape and then used a twig of a grape stem for the pumpkin stem. So cute!

Tips for Baking Bread
2) I preheat the oven on the lowest temp (around 130 deg) and then turn off the oven. This is where I set my dough to rise so that there is no ventilation and it's warm. So, when my dough is done mixing, I spray or grease a bowl for it to rise in and then cover it with a Silpat (or saran wrap - sprayed) and set it in the oven. My dough rises beautifully - it did not do this previously when I had it on the counter.
3) When adding water mixtures, make sure it's not too hot - you can "kill" the yeast if it's too hot. The Honey Oatmeal Bread recipe from Shelley says to make sure the mixture is between 120 and 130 deg. Use a candy thermometer to know for sure.
4) Remember that when kneading dough (before you set it to rise), it needs to scrape the sides of the bowl clean; you really cannot over-knead bread dough; the more kneading the better (I've been told). If it's too sticky, keep adding flour until it forms a good ball and scrapes the sides clean.
5) Don't give up! You will find a recipe that works for you and your family and you will perfect it and love it!! I promise!! There's nothing like fresh bread from your own kitchen . . .

Microwave Kettle Corn
3 Tbsp Water
1/3 Cup Sugar
1/3 Cup Popcorn Kernels
¼ tsp. Salt
Demarle Tools:
Large Round Mold
Octagonal Silpat
Heat Resistant Spatula
Directions:
Pour water and sugar in Large Round Mold and swirl around until mixed together well. Cook in microwave for 2 minutes on High. Add popcorn kernels to hot sugar syrup and swirl around again to coat all the popcorn. Place the Octagonal Silpat on top of the Large Round Mold and cook for approx. 4 minutes on High. Every microwave cooks different, so be sure to listen to the popcorn and as soon as it slows down remove from the microwave. (It will burn if left in too long.) Quickly sprinkle salt while mixing with your Heat Resistant Spatula to evenly coat. Enjoy!
