c) I love How To Cook That because I love to bake and u inspire me. When ever my mom looks over at me I am watching one of your awesome videos. Although I am limited to what I can bake because I do not have a hand mixer or an electrical mixer, I bake what ever I can get my hands on! I watched your truffles video and for all this week I have been making truffles. My favourite are the Oreos. Even though I probably won’t win this contest I just want you to know that you are making the dreams of kids ( and adults) all over the world happen and that to never stop goin!

Such a pretty cake as always!
Would you mind I ask if the blue fondant in this video is the Fondarific brand? I used some (white and pink) for my daughter’s birthday cake 2 weeks ago. Although the fondant tastes ok but it was very soft and cracked a lot. I wonder if it’s because my technique was bad or because it was a warm day.
Hi Qi, Ann uses a variety of fondants. The brand you mentioned isn’t available in our local area.
Hi maam Ann Reardon Im a 12 year old boy and a biggest fan of you and i love how you bake sweets especially the GIANT ONES and the Truffles…..youre the best at baking cakes maam 🙂

Do you have to get the answers right to win?
Yes you do 😀
Hi Ann! Can you tell me whether or not your chocolate is tempered or not. Like if your using freeze dried cocoa butter.
Hi Sadie, you only need to temper the chocolate if you are wanting it to set – for example as a chocolate decoration or molded shape. For recipes that use chocolate in them like the ganache you do not need to temper it. 😀
Please enter on the form above thanks 😀
