Making Back to School Sweet

First day of school, returning to school... yes it's that time again; back to school! For many it can be an overwhelming task, and for some it can mean the beginning of a new chapter in their life. Regardless of the meaning there is only one way to celebrate... create delicious baked treats! Fancy cakes, themed cookies, festive cupcakes, just to name a few. 

Never worry about ruining your cupcakes again! Stock up on these stylish cupcake carriers. Available in many colours. 

Create themed cookies and even customize them with cookie cutters. Decorate them using fondant and icings! 

Design beautiful cakes using unique fondant colours (try our new purple fondant) and finish them with life-like gumpaste flowers (check out our new varieties).

Have no time to bake your own cookies and cakes? Not to worry... McCall's has a wide selection of frozen products ready to decorate! More info

Professional Advice

Dear Sweet Tooth Suzie,

I make wedding cakes and I notice that every time the temperature gets a little hot my fondant becomes too soft, what can I do to avoid this problem?

Dear Bernice,

Looks like you are encountering a common problem faced my many working with fondant. An easy way to minimize this issue is to use a firmer fondant such as McCall's EasyIce White Firm Fondant (look for it under new products). This new fondant is great to work with especially when the temperature gets a higher.

For more wedding cake tips and tricks check out the wedding cake demo happening this September.
