< MindyMc >   Laura had gotten it earlier this year and her lilies were beautiful so when I saw it at the convention.  Just had to get it.
[ Dolores77 ]   I just found out how to log...click your right mouse button
< BKeith >   How many formers come with the set?
< MindyMc >   8
< sgr >   which set is it Mindy
[ Dolores77 ]   I think several...6 maybe or more...I put the facts on my web site with pictures today
< BKeith >   That's good.  By the time you finish with number 8, number 1 may be dry enough to remove.
< MindyMc >   it has a cutter, veiner and 8 drying former things.  whatever they're called
[ Dolores77 ]   sgr...it came in a big box...has formers, cutter & veiner
< sgr >   are you going to carry it
[ Dolores77 ]   I have them now
[ Dolores77 ]   releived that lady of a bunch to carry back home ; )
< MindyMc >   it works really good.
< sgr >   is there a specific name I should look for
[ Dolores77 ]   right keith..it should easily be
[ Dolores77 ]   Its on the very top of the GP page with a picture...can't miss it
[ Dolores77 ]   nice to know Mindy...easy way to make big lillies
< sgr >   great, I look for it later
[ Dolores77 ]   I better go...nice talking with all of you...THIS IS FUN!
< MindyMc >   bkeith, I used your gumpaste to make them
[ Dolores77 ]   goodnight all
< BKeith >   See ya Dolores.

< sgr >   Hello Dolores!
[ Dolores77 ]   I just went to check and see if everyone else was in a dif. room
[ Dolores77 ]   they aren't
[ Dolores77 ]   I thought they may be in one called cake decorators (with a space)...no one is there
< sgr >   They are prob. just waiting til 9:00
[ Dolores77 ]   I just hope they can get in...lots of traffic in the evenings on the web
[ Dolores77 ]   are you logging the chat?
< sgr >   I just checked the rose I did with the gum-btcream (great name huh) they have a shiney silk look to them
[ Dolores77 ]   Good...the shine should make it look real
[ Dolores77 ]   are you going to brush the lustre dust on your bow?
< sgr >   I don't know how to log the chat and it would probably take you all night to explain it to me LOL
[ Dolores77 ]   right click and enable : )
< sgr >   she wants them painted with the 24kt. gold dust
[ Dolores77 ]    with the gold highlighter dust?
< sgr >   I had a friend pick it up for me in the U.S. the container just says gold dust 24kt.
[ Dolores77 ]   Are you mixing it with lemon extract or something...or painting it on dry?
< sgr >   I tried the vodka, it doesn't go on that great needs a couple of coats to get it looking smooth at all
< sgr >   Also tried an atomizer everything ran to the outside,but it did cover good where it stayed
[ Dolores77 ]   I never did try that. I tried lemon extract and it does fine but is time consuming.
< sgr >   "Very" time consuming
[ Dolores77 ]   atomizer...I guess the airbrush would do it...saw they were talking about this on the message board awhile back
< sgr >   I think Mindy said someone tried it with their airbrush and didn't get very good results, the atomizer kept plugging up
[ Dolores77 ]   I cheat...I drop a drop or two of cooking oil in a tiny dish and then the gold dust and paint like that-VERY fast
[ Dolores77 ]   I didn't read all those notes...wish I had now
[ Dolores77 ]   ---but oil mixed, doesn't ever dry
< sgr >   that's how I use the vodka
[ Dolores77 ]   oil is really easy...but if you touch it it makes a mess and must be touched up...covers easy

[ Dolores77 ]   yeah...hi Earlene and Mindy!
< pwdsugar >   Welll wonder of wonders I am in the right room
[ Dolores77 ]   I had begun to think we had a problem but here you are
< sgr >   More people....Hello Mindy and Earlend
< sgr >   my typing is terrible Sorry Earlene
< pwdsugar >   Dolores did you get to go fishing today?
[ Dolores77 ]   yep...you just popped right in! Soon this will seem easy and we will wonder why we thought it was hard
< pwdsugar >   Typing doesn't matter.  We will get the thoughts you convey
[ Dolores77 ]   I went but it was SO hot...nearly 100 degrees...fish weren't biting at all
[ Dolores77 ]   we don't care about the typing... mine is too
< sgr >   how's the gumpaste Mindy
< pwdsugar >   I talked to Sam three times today and once yesterday
< pwdsugar >   her husband is going to wonder what is going on when they get that bill
[ Dolores77 ]   Pwd...you can copy/paste a BIG note all at once
< pwdsugar >   I told her we were starting the chat in the new room tonight
[ Dolores77 ]   Is SAM Shirley?
< pwdsugar >   How?
< pwdsugar >   No - Sam Parsley from Arkansas
< MindyMc >   hi
< MindyMc >   Hello everyone
< pwdsugar >   I don't have anything prepared for tonight.  I was hoping it was open mike
[ Dolores77 ]   You just open a note (I used notepad) and copy/paste as much as you like all at once. It looks nicer and makes more sense in reading it
< sgr >   Hi Mindy!  how did the flowers come out
[ Dolores77 ]   We can just relax and chat tonight...its all so new
< pwdsugar >   She said she didn't have AOL and I told her to go to your website and the directions were there for IBM people
[ Dolores77 ]   So Sam just called about cakes? I thought she was helping you get in this room
< MindyMc >   pretty good.  I haven't made anything else though since the orchid
< sgr >   I haven't tried an orchid yet
[ Dolores77 ]   sgr made a bow!
< pwdsugar >   Right.    Shirley helped me get into this room.  I would have never figured it out without her.
[ Dolores77 ]   Thats why I thought she was SAM
< MindyMc >   shirley is sassy something, I think
< MindyMc >   do you remember sgr
[ Dolores77 ]   I can't remember all these names...having 2 names each LOL
< MindyMc >   great i think.  they actually look like flowers.  hehe
[ Dolores77 ]   sgr...I don't know your real name either...should I somehow?
< pwdsugar >   When you guys are making those larger flowers like the orchids if you put them together wet they will be more realistic and fit together much better
< sgr >   that's great, after  I finish all my roses & bows I'll try an orchid
< MindyMc >   I used the lily former to dry the orchid on
< MindyMc >   Shirley has about 4 or 5 I think.
< sgr >   do you just use water or gum glue
[ Dolores77 ]   My orchids broke when I used Wilton orchid cutters and put together wet
< pwdsugar >   Water
[ Dolores77 ]   I'm sure glad Shirley could help!
< pwdsugar >   You need to wire each of the petals and then they won't be so fragile
< MindyMc >   that's how I did it, except for the throat of the orchid.  I didn't go by in the instructions.  LOL
[ Dolores77 ]   I always use water because gum glue spoils!
< MindyMc >   I used glue made of dried gumpaste and water
< sgr >   that's really nice to know
[ Dolores77 ]    6I was going to say thay Mindy...I've done that and it works best
***  maimee (peleo@1Cust252.tnt6.long-beach.ca.da.uu.net)  has joined channel #Cakedecorators
< pwdsugar >   What I call gum glue now is a mixture of gumpaste and piping gel and I use that to repair broken petals.
[ Dolores77 ]   Hi maimee!!! welcome to the cake chat!!!
< pwdsugar >   This glue is really strong and sticky
< sgr >   Hello maimee!
[ Dolores77 ]   oh - good Pwd...I bet that holds better
< pwdsugar >   Hi maimee
< pwdsugar >   I love this room
< MindyMc >   I'll have to try that
[ Dolores77 ]   me too
< pwdsugar >   We can actually type enough to make sense

< Nita_B >   Not me :-(
< ShirleyR >   not me :(
< MindyMc >   I was there
< pwdsugar >   We didn't talk much about that because he is out of town right now.
< sgr >   Not me:(
[ Dolores77 ]   oh darn...I wish everyone of you could have gone
[ Dolores77 ]   but next year sgr, right?
< pwdsugar >   That week just flew.  It didn't help to have several things I was supposed to do scheduled at the same times.
< sgr >   certainly hope so
< pwdsugar >   Me
[ Dolores77 ]   Did you all realize sgr is coming in from Canada?
< maimee >   im sure planning on it!!!
< ShirleyR >   We just bought a new house..so expenses were tight

< pwdsugar >   The Madam took lots of time for many of us.
[ Dolores77 ]   You helped with her Pwd? was very nice
< pwdsugar >   Mindy what did you like best about this years show
< pwdsugar >   I agree
[ Dolores77 ]   I hear the plane was a real one, just caked and iced
< MindyMc >   I got some pictures back today.  the madam was one of them
< pwdsugar >   Sam said she was just overwhelmed by the whole thing.
[ Dolores77 ]   My picts. should be back next week
< pwdsugar >   And then she had to leave early
< MindyMc >   Meeting all the people that have the same interests as me was the greatest I think
< pwdsugar >   New baby when????
[ Dolores77 ]   bet Sam WAS. She called Sue the first of the year, found us. then made a web site...and joined ices...big year for her
< maimee >   april 1st = )
[ Dolores77 ]   I REALLY loved the part about meeting everyone! That was the most fun of all
< pwdsugar >   It was a real Cesna airplane covered with bettercream icing.   So cute
< pwdsugar >   It is like a big family reunion.
[ Dolores77 ]   But  some was cake, right Pwd?
< maimee >   thats what i was really looking forward to
[ Dolores77 ]   yes it IS like a family reunion
< maimee >   meeting all my friends
< ShirleyR >   Congrats maimee!
< maimee >   oh thanks shirley!
< pwdsugar >   Just on the back tail had real cake on the flat surfaces
[ Dolores77 ]   I thought more of it was cake, darn!
< MindyMc >   I thought that it was all a real airplane
< pwdsugar >   You are just barley pg then.  If that is such a thing as barly pg
< maimee >   kinda pregnant! lol
[ Dolores77 ]   congratulations maimee...gee, we'll be needing a virtual cake!
< maimee >   boy, i feel pregnant though!
< maimee >   thanks dolores!
< pwdsugar >   Can you imagine icing that real airplane - top, bottom and everything.  And then when they were through with it they came in and put the green grass carpeting down.  After the plane was done.  LOL
< maimee >   who did that pwd?
[ Dolores77 ]   DID YOU KNOW THERE WERE OVER 1,000 CAKES THERE? FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD TOO.
[ Dolores77 ]   I GOT THE SCREEN SAVER SO I GET TO SEE THE STATE CAKE EVERYDAY ON MY COMPUTER!
[ Dolores77 ]   THE DOLLS WERE BEAUTIFULLY DONE. ANYONE KNOW WHO MADE THE STAIRCASE AND
[ Dolores77 ]   WHAT IT WAS MADE OF? LOOKED LIKE PERMA-ICE TO ME.
< MindyMc >   Marie took me in while they were still working on it.
[ Dolores77 ]   welcome Maimee : )
[ Dolores77 ]   did they forget the carpet before or maybe thought they'd make a mess?
< pwdsugar >   The decorators at the convention center put the carpet down.  Bettercream's crew along with Sherri Elder did the plane
< maimee >   wow that must have been something to see!
< pwdsugar >   I don't know why they waited.
< pwdsugar >   We had a real mess around that Madam - A REAL BIG MESS
[ Dolores77 ]   it was a real cute display. Made the newspaper I saw.
< maimee >   what was the madam?
< pwdsugar >   That project was a giant problem solving from start to finish.
[ Dolores77 ]   pompadour
< maimee >   oh my gosh!
[ Dolores77 ]   who was in charge of Madam - Pwd?
[ Dolores77 ]   Madam Pompadour was a sculptured cake life-sized
< pwdsugar >   They had a maniquin for the body but we weren't supposed to actually get icing on the maniquin.   Betty Van Norstrand and Gloria Griffin were put in charge of that.  I turned that down but agreed to help with it.  I had to big a load here at home to worry with that project.
[ Dolores77 ]   oh gosh! I'm glad I took pictures. When they come back I will share them online if I can
< pwdsugar >   If you have checked my web page lately you know what I had going out right before convention and right after convention.  I was on overload and I did say NO for a change
[ Dolores77 ]   WHAT DEMOS DID YOU ALL SEE? WHAT DID YOU LEARN AT THEM?
< pwdsugar >   I have a few step by steps now and hopefully some of the others will send me some of their photos and then I will share them with all of you later
< ShirleyR >   oh wow..I saw the life size one that Roland Winbeckler did in the Cake decorating oct 97 it was fantastic!
[ Dolores77 ]   we must learn the word NO Pwd...isn't easy to say sometimes
[ Dolores77 ]   right Shirley...this is what they did at ices too
< pwdsugar >   Believe me I can use it when necessary.  Even though my family and friends don't think I use it often enough
< ShirleyR >   I would neverrrrrr be able to do that! LOL
[ Dolores77 ]   Roland got $5,000.00 for one of his he told us

< MindyMc >   okay,  I'll see if I can remember how I did it today and send you one.  LOL
< pwdsugar >   I love the new leveler.  It works so great.  Do any of you get one of those.
< sgr >   I tried to send the bear again Shirley it kept saying the server may be down ( and he was right side up to) I'll try again later
[ Dolores77 ]   We already had the expensive leveler...but Wilton has a big one too...$20.00
< MindyMc >   no, I spent too much money as it was.
< Guest75973 >   HeatherLee:  I have one, haven't had a cake order to try it on yet.  I also got an Air Pen
< Lynne >   that new leverler looks much like the one i have used for yrs
[ Dolores77 ]   me too Lynne
[ Dolores77 ]   air brush Heather?
< pwdsugar >   But it keeps the leveler straight.  THose legs on the bottom make all the difference in the world
< MindyMc >   I got the canon printer and the sheets and ink from kopykake booth
< sgr >   how big a cake can you level with it
< ShirleyR >   ok MindyMc..I'll be waiting on it!
< Guest75973 >   HeatherLee:  No, Air Pen, you can use it to paint with chocolate and Royal

< pwdsugar >   I got one of those air pens to but it is still in the box and waiting to find a place to live and not get lost.  LOL

< MindyMc >   I didn't see the airpen.
< Lynne >   oh, here come my people,  see you guys later.
< Guest75973 >   HeatherLee:  You can use it to draw lace points, or do color flow

< pwdsugar >   I understood that you could use the air pen with anything that is the right consistency

< sgr >   now painting the gold sounds interesting
< MindyMc >   who sells the airpen Guest75973
[ Dolores77 ]   right sgr LOL

< sgr >   nite nite Dolores!
[ Dolores77 ]   no prob Lynne...night all
< Lynne >   nite dolores
< Guest75973 >   HeatherLee:  That's great Pwdsugar, I too am living proof miracles happen.  My mother wasn't suppose to be able to have any after my isister.  There is only 20+ years between us
< Nita_B >   Sell some but not a lot, Lynne
< ShirleyR >   I have a 24 yr old daughter and a 6 yr old son!!! LOL
< carolatx >   I would think they encourage customers and business--that's what they're all about (?)
[ Dolores77 ]   that isn't it -they insist we take 9 hours of repeat classes and we don't have the time. They warned us today.
< carolatx >   Repeat CLASSES?  Classes for what???
[ Dolores77 ]   they may miss us more than they imagined. I think they thought they could threaten and we'd do what they wanted.
[ Dolores77 ]   classes to be a host...what to do if people harrassed us etc....we already did all that too
< carolatx >   Why would you need a class to do a chat session?  seems to me you do pretty well as it is
[ Dolores77 ]   we do very well, right. But we did it for 3 years and its very easy for us now
< carolatx >   Well, they are pretty stupid then (and I never saw any harrassors (spelling?) there anyway)
[ Dolores77 ]   Carol...if you get kicked out on IRC, go clear out of IRC and come back in or your name must be changed

[ Dolores77 ]   yes...the chat is tonight
[ Dolores77 ]   If you get kicked out...and we did before...then IRC changes your name...you'll see. But if you exit completely then come back you can use your same name

< Marida >   Everyone can get on here so just use this site.
< traci99 >   Please be patient with me as i try to figure this out!!
[ Dolores77 ]   why do they get kicked out?
[ Dolores77 ]   right Marida...this is our plan!

[ Dolores77 ]   wonder where Earlene is

[ Dolores77 ]   WEB CHATS! August 31st at 9PM: "BRING YOUR OWN IDEAS! " with

< traci99 >   not me

< Nita_B >   I'm on aol
< Marida >   Not me.
< Tawndra >   not me
[ Dolores77 ]   Carol...you are aren't you?
< carolatx >   I'm on aol
[ Dolores77 ]   HOW do you get here when you are on aol?
< Nita_B >   Just sign on to aol and then open VIRC
[ Dolores77 ]   how do you find IRC when on aol?
< carolatx >   no, I'm not, I don't know I'm here.
< Marida >   Sugar never made it back.
< Nita_B >   It's on my start menu and I open it like any other program
[ Dolores77 ]   I know...I suppose it is going to be up to each of us to find out why when we can't stay in the room
[ Dolores77 ]   thanks Nita...what I wanted to know!
< Nita_B >   Don't know if I dare say this but I've never been kicked out yet.  LOL
< Marida >   I HAVE NEVER BEEN KICKED OUT AND i HAVE BEEN ON FOR AS LONG AS AN HOUR AND A HALF BEFORE.
[ Dolores77 ]   LOL
[ Dolores77 ]   wheee..way to go! It may be their server and not IRC too
< Marida >   Nita--did you have to pay a fee to get on?
< MindyMc >   I've been kicked out several times.  I think it might depend on the conection you are hooked up with.  I think everyone might have a different one
< Nita_B >   No fee
[ Dolores77 ]   I got kicked out once...apparently I must use something on Netscape or my ISP thinks I'm idle
[ Dolores77 ]   I'm going to pay the $15.00 for IRC...just haven't had time
< carolatx >   I am not on AOL for this, I'm using texas.net, another internet provider...
[ Dolores77 ]   I see Carol
< carolatx >   It is very reliable
< Nita_B >   I have aol up so I can see the timer and click before they disconnect me
[ Dolores77 ]   me too Carol...using one.net
< Marida >   I paid it.  When I first got on it said it was free for 30 days, so I went ahead and joined.  My son-in-law thought I might not have had to do that.  Not to worry--I didn't care.
< MindyMc >   down below where it says connected to then a bunch of #'s and then the name of who you are hooked up with.  Mine is galazy.ca.us.dal.net
[ Dolores77 ]   great Nita! Good to know how to prevent getting kicked off. My ISP allows me to be on idle for 1 1/2 Hrs then kicks me off
< Tawndra >   I didn't notice anything about paying, should i be paying something to them?
[ Dolores77 ]   Marida...when you paid, did you get any new goodies to help IRC to work better - that you had to load?
< carolatx >   texas.net allows us to be connected indefinetely
< Marida >   Mine said it when I downloaded it.
[ Dolores77 ]   MAC users MUST pay...we don't have to but I am going to.
< MindyMc >   if you have the old beseen chat room open underneath this chat room, it refreshes itself every minute or so.  Then you wouldn't have to worry about the time limits
< Marida >   Yeah, Dolores, I probably did.  but you know what a hard time I had getting to this site that I am afraid to touch anything.  ShirleyR is really knowledgeable and she helped me some the other nite.
[ Dolores77 ]   Mindy...that is a good thing for that part
[ Dolores77 ]   glad shirley helped
[ Dolores77 ]   I think maybe Earlene forgot!

[ Dolores77 ]   Hi Shirley!
< Marida >   Hi,
< Marida >   Shirley.
[ Dolores77 ]   EDIBLE GLITTER: CRUSH IT TO MAKE IT GO FARTHER & BE MORE
[ Dolores77 ]   REALISTIC. TO CRUSH: POUR THE VILE OF GLITTER OUT ONTO WAXED
[ Dolores77 ]   PAPER. ADD ANOTHER SHEET OF WAXED PAPER ON TOP OF THE PILE OF
[ Dolores77 ]   GLITTER. ROLL OVER IT W/ ROLLING PIN UNTIL CRUSHED VERY FINE.
[ Dolores77 ]   CREASE THE WAX PAPER GLITTER IS PILED ON & POUR INTO A FINE
[ Dolores77 ]   PEPPER SHAKER. GREAT FOR "SNOW" LOOK <CLEAR. COMES IN COLORS
[ Dolores77 ]   TOO.
< Shirley_C >   Hi everyone!
[ Dolores77 ]   glad you made it Shirley
[ Dolores77 ]   We are going to be chatting EVERY Tuesday night here in Sept.
< Shirley_C >   Thank you, I'm glad to get there!
[ Dolores77 ]   Some chats will be 'open mike' - anyone share whatever...and some we'll have a lot of info for you.
[ Dolores77 ]   here is another one I like a lot:
[ Dolores77 ]   NAIL FLOWERS: WHEN MAKING NAIL FLOWERS USING WAX PAPER
[ Dolores77 ]   SQUARES: PLACE A <VERY SMALL! PORTION OF FLORIST CLAY ON THE
[ Dolores77 ]   NAIL FIRST. SMOOTH IT DOWN UNTIL YOU CAN BARELY FEEL IT. NOW
[ Dolores77 ]   WHEN YOU PLACE YOUR WAX PAPER SQUARE ON THE NAIL, IT WILL STAY
[ Dolores77 ]   PERFECTLY. NO ICING DAB NEEDED & NO MORE WAX PAPER SQUARE
[ Dolores77 ]   SLIDING  OFF THE NAIL! YOU CAN GO MUCH FASTER, MAKING FLOWERS.
[ Dolores77 ]   DEVELOPED BY ME...DOLORES ABOUT 1972.
[ Dolores77 ]   ...unlike the aol chats...we can post the entire hint all at once here. I like that.
[ Dolores77 ]   another...
[ Dolores77 ]   USE AN EMPTY PRINGLES CAN TO STORE EQUIPMENT IN. ALSO MAKES
[ Dolores77 ]   A GREAT ITEM FOR FILLING BAGS. PUSH BAG INTO CAN & PULL EDGES
[ Dolores77 ]   OF BAG UP OVER EDGE OF CAN. FILL W/ FROSTING & THEN PULL UP
[ Dolores77 ]   EDGES OF BAG. OK, DECORATORS FROM JO MARSHALL, IL  REP.
[ Dolores77 ]   that last hint is great for your students who have trouble filling their bags
[ Dolores77 ]   one more...
[ Dolores77 ]     * IF YOU OVERHEAT YOUR CHOC. COATINGS & THEY ARE TOO THICK,
[ Dolores77 ]   REMOVE FROM HEAT & ADD 1 TB CRISCO SHORTENING PER LB OF
[ Dolores77 ]   COATING & STIR IN A CIRCULAR MOTION. THIS WILL REJUVENATE YOUR
[ Dolores77 ]   CHOC....... FRETA NICKEL. NOTE...USE OF PARAMOUNT CRYSTALS IS
[ Dolores77 ]   BETTER! NO TASTE AT ALL! MELT FIRST & ADD AS MUCH AS NEEDED FOR CONSISTENCY
[ Dolores77 ]   another...
[ Dolores77 ]     * FOR RECIPE CARDS & RECIPE SHEETS YOU USE OFTEN, PURCHASE
[ Dolores77 ]   CLEAR CONTACT PAPER & COVER W/A PIECE CUT TO FIT. THEN WHEN IT
[ Dolores77 ]   GETS SPILLS OR STICK ON IT, JUST WIPE OFF W/ A DAMP CLOTH.
[ Dolores77 ]   gosh...this is SO much easier than aol!

< SugarMe >   hello everyone
[ Dolores77 ]   Hi Sugar...we won't breath too hard and you may not get kicked out of our room
< Shirley_C >   HI SugarMe
[ Dolores77 ]   here is another:
[ Dolores77 ]     * PUT OLD BUTTERCREAM ICING IN A #2 MARG. BOWL. WHEN THIS IS
[ Dolores77 ]   FULL, MAKE FUDGE BY TAKING ALL THE COLORS MIXED TOGETHER & ADD
[ Dolores77 ]   3/4 C COCOA & A FEW TB OF MILK & COOK UNTIL IT REACHES SOFT

< carolatx >   Hi SugarMe!
< SugarMe >   I was trying to get on earlier
< Tawndra >   I have a hard time with the garland marker from wilton, so instead of that little plativ thing that comes with it, I cut a piece of plastic canvas and use that to mark the garlands.
< Marida >   Are you using the little pink ones?
[ Dolores77 ]   I put some florist clay on that garland marker so it would stay in place
< Tawndra >   me Marida?
[ Dolores77 ]   Marida...wilton hads a good new one...in their yrbk
< Marida >   Yes, you.
< Nita_B >   I really like Wilton's new one
< traci99 >   i thought it was just me having trouble with the garland marker!
< Marida >   I have always used those two little pink ones with no problem.  Is it like those, Dolores/
[ Dolores77 ]   The new one is better.
< Marida >   I will check it out.
< Nita_B >   Adjustable, Marida
[ Dolores77 ]   No Marida...not at all. It has a 'slide' and you adjust it to any width of garland
< Tawndra >   The one I have is , it is just a little clear/white colored marker.  Really flimsy palstic.
[ Dolores77 ]   Tawndra, right - thats the one that slipped all over...wouldn't stay put
< Tawndra >   I will have to look for those in the new YB
[ Dolores77 ]   much better now
[ Dolores77 ]   More durable too Tawndra
< Tawndra >   The plastic canvas stays in really tight, and I can measure form the "teeth"
< Marida >   Dolores--did you pick up a bead maker at IcES?
[ Dolores77 ]   No Marida...but we have them ordered.. I wonder if they're out...haven't gotten them in yet

***  ReneeS (reneelschl@ABD8DB1B.ipt.aol.com)  has joined channel #cakedecorators

[ Dolores77 ]   Hi Renee!
[ Dolores77 ]   Marida...wilton's new one won't get brittle
< JaniceO >   Hi everybody!
< Nita_B >   Hi ReneeS

[ Dolores77 ]   You will always be GOOO Janice
< Marida >   I don't mean the bead maker got brittle.  I mean the beads get brittle after they are out for a while.  I guess you should use them as soon as you make them.  That thing is great.
< JaniceO >   Yippteee dooo da day!
[ Dolores77 ]   The beads dried Marida...bet you must use them right away?

[ Dolores77 ]   I have some BIG news I'm busting to tell!!!!
[ Dolores77 ]   We just bought a building and we're moving our entire store...It is 4-5 times larger than the one we have now
< ReneeS >   As long as we have this, that's okay
< Marida >   They come out perfect.  I want to use them one day but I think I will put them on the cake as soon as I make them since I want to use them on top of a scolloped ruffle.
[ Dolores77 ]   I'll put a picture on in a month or 2 when we get settled.
[ Dolores77 ]   We'll have this Renee...it is actually better once we all get the hang of it.
< Marida >   What classes?
< Tawndra >   what classes?
[ Dolores77 ]   they demand that we do these stupid 3 hour classes (that we already did last year) - 3 of them = 9 hours!
[ Dolores77 ]   can you see Earlene or I on here for 3 straight hours taking a class!

< swtelegnt >   Dolores, are you talking about my display at ICES?
< JaniceO >   Yes, PJ was in a number of pictures we had shared among us.
[ Dolores77 ]   I did GOOO...speed reader needed LOL
< Marida >   I hear Keith is a looking for you, PJ.
< PjW10 >   UH OH!  LOL!!!
[ Dolores77 ]   Fan! That is it, sorry
[ Dolores77 ]   yes Mari...beautiful
< JaniceO >   sorry, it passed me right by
< PjW10 >   Why Is Keith looking for me ???(hiding behind Dolores!)
[ Dolores77 ]   PJ LOL...bet you're in trouble...wonder what he'll bring for YOU next year???
< PjW10 >   and where is Barbara!!!!!
< swtelegnt >   Oh my Fan!  I made that by piping chocolate over a pattern under waxed paper, turn it over and repipe the design on the back
< Marida >   Wonder where he is tonight.  He was on last night.  Ever notice that guy is always surrounded by women?
[ Dolores77 ]   Mari...some people wouldn't dream you can make something that large by doing that
< JaniceO >   He's gotta love that!
< swtelegnt >   Thank you, I had so many people want the pattern for it
< PjW10 >   Marida..it's those thongs he wears...LOL
[ Dolores77 ]   women love him : )
< Marida >   Yeah--he is really a good sport.
< JaniceO >   Yes, Mari, that was the very first time I ever saw anything piped in chocolate.  My treat for sure.
[ Dolores77 ]   Nick Lodge loved his rose petals too!
< Marida >   He is probably hiding out there somewhere!
< PjW10 >   Marida, when do we get to see the wacky wedding pictures???
[ Dolores77 ]   what pictures?
< Marida >   renee:  If you come to CASANOVA you will get to meet Keith.
< swtelegnt >   the only problem was travel, I took it on the plane while still on thre wax paper
< PjW10 >   Renee, he's a sweetheart
[ Dolores77 ]   I bet Cassinova is a great cake club
< ReneeS >   I can't wait, after hearing all you have to say!
[ Dolores77 ]   How many people come to meetings?
< ReneeS >   I need to meet some decorators in person, never have!
< PjW10 >   MARIDA, Do you know any decorators near Virginia Beach??
< swtelegnt >   I know that they have alot of gret people over there!
[ Dolores77 ]   so much fun Renee! Its like meeting old friends but we hadn't even met before
< JaniceO >   This was my first convention Renee and it was extremely rewarding on multiple levels.
< Marida >   I haven't had any developed yet.  The TV stations are the ones calling that a wacky wedding.  My daughter was there and said it was.  The papers told all about it.  We did do an unusul cake for it.  When I get the pcitures i will share them.  the groom's cake had his fabulous sailboat on it.  he is going to retire (at 45) on that thing.
< PjW10 >   Dolores? have we met?  hehehehe
[ Dolores77 ]   PJ...who could forget you : )
< ReneeS >   now that my kids both are in school this year, I can get out more!
[ Dolores77 ]   can't wait to see the pictures Marida
< PjW10 >   Marida, I can't wait to see them!
< PjW10 >   Dolores, I love you...hehehe
< Marida >   The wedding coordinator said no one else would work with him.  That's crazy.
[ Dolores77 ]   Janice...its like that every year too
< JaniceO >   I just made it a goal to start saving last January and had a ball at convention; got there a day early as I didn't want to miss a thing.
[ Dolores77 ]   hehe...PJ is a riot!
< PjW10 >   SO WHERE IS BARBARA TONIGHT?????
< ReneeS >   iis it usually over a weekend, the convention?
[ Dolores77 ]   oh dear...didn't Barbara get on IRC?
< PjW10 >   Renee, whatever they say about me, its lies, all lies!
[ Dolores77 ]   the ICES show is Thurs - Sun. night
< JaniceO >   do I know barbara by another screen name?
< SugarMe >   Is it better to use Vodka or lemon extract for applying gold dust?
[ Dolores77 ]   I use cooking oil Sugar
< Marida >   I was wondering where she was too.  She has been in the chat room almost every night when we have been in there.  Dolores, we get in here almost every nite.  by the time Lynee gets here it is time to go to bed.
[ Dolores77 ]   sanbar is Barbara
[ Dolores77 ]   or is it sambar?
< JaniceO >   nope, haven't met her yet
< PjW10 >   its SAMBAR isn't it??
< ReneeS >   so you are in here other times than tuesdays?
< swtelegnt >   Once you go to ICES you want to be there every year!
[ Dolores77 ]   went to dinner one night with Barbara and Marida at ices
< SugarMe >   Is there a big difference in the way it comes out
< PjW10 >   SamBar63
< Marida >   She tried to get sambar changed to Barbara on the board but she is like me she would probably erase the whole thing.
[ Dolores77 ]   oil doesn't dry but is 10 times faster
< traci99 >   i popped in Friday or Saturday night to see if anyone was around...nobody was..i must be the only one without a social life...lol
< ReneeS >   how is it faster delores
[ Dolores77 ]   they are usually here later, right?
< SugarMe >   OK
< JaniceO >   I haven't done that method yet but will give it a try
< ReneeS >   me too traci!
[ Dolores77 ]   because it covers fast/easy - doesn't evaporate
< Marida >   Dolores--we should plan a big reunion next year.  When it comes to DC I want to try to have all of you over (if I am still around--70 ain't young you know).
[ Dolores77 ]   We MUST Marida
< traci99 >   somebody once said 9pm pacific time---i think lynne...but that's past my bedtime here!!
< Tawndra >   Dc is in march right?
< ReneeS >   but doesn't it stay greasy? and doesn't dry?
[ Dolores77 ]   me too Traci...have to get up very early these days
< Marida >   Dolores--when you use oil--how much do you use?  Gotta go set up the VCR--be back
[ Dolores77 ]   does stay wet...don't dare touch it...but it looks SO nice
< PjW10 >   Geeeez!  MARIDA, I want to be old like you when I grow up!!!  Like you're old...NOT!
< JaniceO >   Dolores, would you use the oil method only on things such as gumpaste
< ReneeS >   what is in D C   in march?
[ Dolores77 ]   I put out a drop of oil and add the dust...goes a long way this way too...try it when it isn't so important. I've done it for show cakes and a lot of other things
< PjW10 >   Renee, Ices is in DC in 2004
[ Dolores77 ]   doesn't smear at all
< SugarMe >   The oil won't make it run will it?
< Marida >   The ICES Convention will be in DC in about four years.
< ReneeS >   oh, in 2004, I won't be here then probably
< Tawndra >   I wanted to go to DC last year, but something came up, hubby's B-DAY. Told him next year I would take him on a trip for his B-Dday. LOL
[ Dolores77 ]   Janice...I used it for gold writing too...would cover those package cakes good I bet
< ReneeS >   I'm glad you said one drop of oil, I would have done about a tablespoon or two!
< Marida >   You could still come.  I want to go to Canada when it is there.
[ Dolores77 ]   doesn't run one bit
< ReneeS >   true Marida
[ Dolores77 ]   I forget who, but some biggy showed this method in a class I took once years ago
< Tawndra >   I guess you were not talking about the convention that is there every year?
< JaniceO >   Dolores, you know I am writing up my index card as we speak for gold dust.... LOL
< SugarMe >   I was thinking more than a drop too.
[ Dolores77 ]   one drop covers way more than lemon or Vodka
[ Dolores77 ]   LOL Janice...you are the MOST organized person!
< JaniceO >   viscosity perhaps
< ReneeS >   do you do the oil for the petal dust too, or just vodka etc?
[ Dolores77 ]   I never added petal dust to it
< Marida >   My daughter just called and said the wedding coordinator said the groom at the Wacky wedding cut the cake gave his bride a bite then cut a huge piece for himself and asked someone to go get him a glass of milk.  i told you they were wacky.
< PjW10 >   Ohhhh, Hubbys home, guess I have to cook now..dang!
[ Dolores77 ]   ICES knows about 4 years ahead, where a convention is going to be...is posted on their web site
< JaniceO >   that's right, it's way early there
[ Dolores77 ]   PJ...let HIM cook tonight!
< Tawndra >   I gotta go walkthe dog, see you all another night.  Bye
< JaniceO >   bye tawndra
< ReneeS >   bye
< PjW10 >   DOLORES!!!  AND SUFFER FOOD POISONING!
***  Tawndra (hardesty16@1Cust139.tnt4.morgantown.wv.da.uu.net)  has left channel #cakedecorators
[ Dolores77 ]   they ARE wacky...not polite are they?
< SugarMe >   How do you do writing with it Dolores77
< carolatx >   Bye Tawnda!
< JaniceO >   I made Earlene's Kahlua and Home brew this weekend...can't wait to try it out
< swtelegnt >   I knoe I use the oil with any of the luster dust, it makes them shine a bit more
[ Dolores77 ]   I use a fine brush. It is VERY easy
< Marida >   Dolores--these people were great.  They just have tons of money and had their weddingat the Kennedy Center on Sunday.  They got a lot of TV and newspaper coverage.
[ Dolores77 ]   really Mari...guess it works with petal dust then too
[ Dolores77 ]   bet thats good Janice!
< ReneeS >   does that home brew make a lot?
[ Dolores77 ]   Marida...hope you charged them enough?
< JaniceO >   Using Earlene's smaller recipe which calls for 3 1/4 c of vodka yields almost 7 c when done
< PjW10 >   Janice... let me know if the Kahlua is drinkable..LOL
< JaniceO >   that fills up a 750 ml bottle and half of another
< swtelegnt >   Not the dust, (no shine) just the luster, and sparkle dust
< ReneeS >   how do you store it?
[ Dolores77 ]   Renee...make that homebrew ahead and store it I think
< ReneeS >   so you use the oil for the shiny ones only?
< JaniceO >   it would be best to save any half gallon glass liquor bottles you can get or go to a bar like I did and ask them to save you about 5
[ Dolores77 ]   Earlene must have told us all this in a chat sometime.
< Marida >   He only got cake for 200.  But it was unusual and we did charge them pretty good.  he didn't care.  No one else would work with him.
[ Dolores77 ]   I archived all of the recipes on my message board...need to get them uploaded for you.
[ Dolores77 ]   must be a real nut marida
< swtelegnt >   I do, But then i like to use the shiny dust!
< PjW10 >   HEY MARI
< PjW10 >   do you shop at Costco?
< swtelegnt >   Hey PAM!
< Marida >   Dolores--how much oil do you put with that petal dust?  I did white chocolate seashells for that wedding on Sunday and I just brushed them with petal dust.
[ Dolores77 ]   don't have Costco here
< swtelegnt >   Yes I do!
< PjW10 >   They have a great storge drawer thing in wheels there for $30 !
[ Dolores77 ]   I put a drop of oil on a piece of foil or tiny plate, then I keep adding petal dust as needed. This is SO easy
< PjW10 >   ON wheels too..LOL
< swtelegnt >   I have 3 of them, Cary would kill me if I got another one!
[ Dolores77 ]   If that sticks Marida, it is a good way
< PjW10 >   LOL!!!!!!!!!
< PjW10 >   the 9 stack one??
[ Dolores77 ]   I have to go...it is 10:15 here and I am sleepy...got to get up early
< swtelegnt >   no, I don't have that one, I may have to go take a look!
< Marida >   I have three weddings with packages coming up and I want to try making different kinds of bows for them.  I took Mercedes' demo.  It was great.
< traci99 >   bye dolores! sweet dreams..
