"I have bought it in the store "Restaurant Depot" .. well the cocoa powder of that brand. It is un sweetened, no dutched. Works well in cakes, etc."

"Just curious.. Do you only use them for lining charlotte rings? I make them and use for tiramisu. How large a quantity are you looking for?"
" I think you should start out with the quality you want to be known for. Customers will taste once and if they don't like it will not return. You have low overhead, don't scrimp on ingredients!"
"Thank you for the reply. I thought of pastillage, but yes, it dries tooo quickly! I hope to try a mix of gum paste and fondant tomorrow and let it dry for a couple of days and see what happens. If you can think of anything…"
"Maybe pastillage? but you would have to work quickly. It dries hard as a rock"
Marilyn Robson replied to Joan's discussion covering a dummy in hot temps? something that works and looks like fondant???"You could try half gum paste half fondant or maybe even a higher percent of gumpaste. Do ahead and let dry for a few days."

What can I use that will withstand the heat of summer in Florida..90ish and humidity at a flea/farmer market. I live in Florida and plan to attend some farmers markets in the heat. Realizing I can't bring a cake covered in fondant, I wanted to display a couple decorated dummys that look like fondant and act like fondant but withstand the heat and humidity for over 4 hours? (plus flowers) All I can think of is Plaster!You can hand out menus, write signs, but it comes down to visual…See More

I need help getting folks to notice me!
I have recently opened a bakery in Palm Bay Florida. I am also new at the whole thing (running a business). I have advertised in the local coupon booklet that gets mailed to each home, the local paper (not major one) and now another 2 coupon pamphlets. I still get a lot people who say they didn't know I was here.
It seems that the strip I am in, is not noticed or on, the beaten track' so to speak. Does anyone have any suggestions other than… Continue

Has the same sweetness and no splenda type after taste. (The body recognises it as a fiber). Isomalt sugar does the same thing. The only thing with isomalt is it wont carmelize...I hope this helps out..also for your chocolate bread I think a nice florentine topping would look awesome. possibly a nice coating of Powdered sugar and cinnamon..just a thought..this would probably make some butt kicking bread pudding...8 )
