    Sara, I used Gel Colour - Bright White by AmeriColor (Wilton has it, too).

    Anne, thank you for kind words! I wish I could have coffee with you, in real time. You have such a great personality, and sometimes I, too, feel like we are just a coffee table apart :)

    Great job Larissa, I really enjoyed watching you make that adorable ladybug. I am also thrilled about the egg noodle technique. Thank you for that! You are indeed one of my favorite decorators.

    Larissa, that was such a great tutorial! I loved seeing the glaze applied - I would have brushed mine on too strongly. My granddaughter's cake will be full of ladybugs thanks to you. Excellent work! I felt almost like we were having coffee together.

    Thank you Charlotte for being so patient and kind with your comments! With language skills like yours it must have been very hard to listen to what I kept saying in this video :) I cannot agree more, and promise to work and practice more! Please, feel free to correct me whenever you feel like it, I really do appreciate it! And I will try to improve on the sound next time, too! Thank you so much again!

    Larissa, I love,love, love your tutorial. I could tell that you were nervous but you did a great job. I just want to make oodles and oodles of these lady bugs. You made it very easy to understand. I could hear you perfectly and your explanations were very simple that I can make one now from memory. Thank you for doing this.

    I loved your tutorial, Larissa!!! A couple of suggestions: speak a bit louder as I had to use my earphones to be able to hear you well and try to speak without using "um". As I use it too, I know how hard it is to break the habit but for videos and tutorials, it is essential. At least not quite so often. Other than that, you did an awesome job and your content was wonderful. I could sit down now and make one without a problems. Your edible antennae are fabulous. That has been a problem for me and I feel like a "duh" moment that I didn't know it but what can I say. Please, please keep on stretching and producing tutorials. As you know I am a huge fan and will watch each and every one with intense excitement!!
