I wouldn't recommend even using sanitized PVC all over something you intend to ingest.

Use it to finely dust your work area before rolling out the fondant. Kai: You use a dusting bag almost all the time when you decorate cakes ect.

I searched the internet for adjustable rolling pin and I came across one that looked just like PVC pipe, it cost $159. Well, I wasn't looking to spend that much for what I needed, so I went to home depot and made one myself. I bought a 2ft pcs. of 1 1/2 inch PVC pipe matched it up with a couple of end pieces that give it the right height and I had me a $159 rolling pin for $2.63, pretty nice!

Sounds beautiful with the TG pie. I have a Christmas book by Colette Peters and in that she paints a pie with I think its egg yolk mixed with gel paste. It looked soo gorgeous. Great info on the powdered egg whites. Could you please tell me from wich store you got it from? Many have written for advise on that subject. Susieshomemade: Great to hear :-) Maria C: Ohh yes lets not forget the blue mat and a good knife. THX. Say: I dont know any stores in the Philippines. I know good stores in Australia that I know do send to Europe so maybe they will send to you? http://www.earlcraftncake.com/ or there is from the US http://www.globalsugarart.com/ Tamera, JudyZ, Charlotte & Becky: I have never tried to use a PVC pipe. I saw on Sharon "sugar shack" blog a santa class with Bronwen Weber, where they buildt the skeleton of PVC pipes. http://www.sugaredblog.blogspot.com/ On the food safety part, I have no clue. Well I dont think the health food dep. here would allow it. They are so strict with everything. Becky: LOL i can see I not the only one wondering if the leafs is botanically correct.
