Being a home baker in NY, stor-
age space is limited. After a few
years of going through ziploc
filled drawers I decided to Take
full advantage of back to school
sales And revamp my silicone
mold/onlay storage. All you need
is a large zippered binder and
some heavy duty sheet protectors
and you can store and organize
all your small
lace/impression/letter molds effi-
ciently. :) enjoy!

These great tips are from Texas ICES member Debra Lawson…
To clean several greasy tips at a time boil in soapy water on the stove top
or heat in soapy water in the microwave with a high ratio of water to metal tips
in a glass bowl in the microwave.
I always carry a box of babywipes to sugar art classes.
Makes it easy to keep my hands less sticky between washings.
Buttercream (made with shortening, colored or uncolored), fondant and
gumpaste can all be frozen.
Re-use styrofoam dummies by soaking in hot water to remove fondant
or simply place fondant covered dummy in dishwasher!!

4 oz. shredded cheddar cheese

The first ICES Convention was held in 1977 in Euless, Texas.
More Tips & Tricks from our CT ICES friends...caring & sharing
If your hands get stained with food colors, squirt with Windex before washing them;
the color will come right off! Diane Burke, CT
A metal seam gauge, used for sewing with an adjustable arrow, is handy for measuring
the height dowels should be in tiered cakes. Place the gauge in the cake, bring the arrow
down level with the icing, remove and place it next to dowel to mark it. Cut all dowels
this same length. Carolyn Mathewson, CT
When decorating cake with floral designs, a simple filler is to use “coil vines”. With ei-
ther brown or green buttercream and tip #1, place the end of the tip under a leaf or
flower on your cake. Exert a lot of pressure on the bag of frosting, pulling away from
the leaf or flower into the open area of the cake you want to fill. The frosting will be
forced out of the bag quickly enough through the very thin opening causing a “coiling’ ef-
fect. Thus, your vines!, Beth Lee Spinner, CT

It’s not to early to start planning to attend...
And plan to bring something to display in the
Sugar Art Gallery
From Beginners to Professionals,
everyone is invited to share their creations in the Sugar Art Gallery.
“Celebrate the Good Times” in Omaha in 2015

ling daily high temperatures, with daily highs around 85°F throughout the month, exceeding

66°F, falling below 53°F or exceeding 74°F only one day in ten.
ICES is more than a Newsletter…
ICES is more than a Convention…
ICES is more than a DOS…

preserve, advance and encourage exploration of the sugar arts.
ICES promotes and provides opportunities for continuing
education, development of future sugar artists, and enjoyment
of the art form in a caring and sharing environment.
