Hi Linda,

I'm looking for a Chocolate cake recipe...? It's the kind of lighter chocolate color, not dense and dark (almost black, like most chocolate cakes now a day) but a lighter brown with almost a fudge taste...? Am I looking for a Swiss or Dutch or Bavarian...? I'm not sure... Let me know your thought when you get a chance... Thanks Linda!

Just a chocolate cake... nothing special... and just for fun... but I would like to find a more "European" dutch-swiss-bavarian lighter brownish cake recipe... If this makes any sense...? 

As always... Thank you Linda...!!! And Linda, you never commented on my "fighting my way" to get an end piece of one of your vintage cakes... What gives...lol...?

Linda Thank you for the nice comments on my cakes.  I wish I had more time to do more cakes... work keeps me pretty busy!  You are too sweet!

Linda you have some lovely work, I really love your modelled animals,Margaret

Sorry again. I only did a quick glance but should have checked with you first about those cakes.Thanks for clearing them off so quickly then and catching my mistake.

Hi Linda. You are too funny, and thank. I feel like the new kid on the block. I have only been decorating cakes for about 7 months. So hopefully with time, I can come close to you and Gail's talents. I just ordered the baby mold, and am excited to try it. Do you know how to get the flesh color in the fondant/guspaste? I have never tried this before. Keep on creating.

hi linda ... i just took day classes no formal training. thanks to facebook and filipinos  love to celebrate kids birthday parties with a big budget :) am slowing things a bit this year need to take care of my health and my family needs "attention". cant think about cakes all the time. our kitchen will be two years old this november :) wish i could pipe as well as you do . i still have a long way to go linda want to learn so much like modeling chocolate, blown sugar, lambeth , and how to make big cakes i want to learn how it all stands up. i am always praying that my cakes would hold up .

Hey Linda, have u done brush embroidery on chocolate ganache?

thank you linda for your comment on my cup saucer after seeing your cup , saucer I felt very special. thank you for your eadter message  .

Easter Blessings to you too Blessed Linda Wolff...

The basket is beautiful and you characters are wonderful just the cutest things.  I sent the marshmallow buttercream recipe hope you got it.  Laurie Jones

lovely slide show linda ,very talented !!!!

An honor to be "friendly" my dear.  I've been so fond of your decorating for quite a while now! I'd love nothing more than to be at your elbow for a day.  ;o)

I did post a new pic Linda and yes it is me and Daisy .  I decided to be brave and put on a personal pic so people had an idea of who they were talking to.  But like I said to June and Nadia, I don't do close-ups lol, so let Daisy take the forefront........

Haha Linda!  Thank you, but did you also see my comment about being a 'stepnan?'  I am old enough to be their nan, but only just with the oldest (Jose, 21yrs).  But I've been around way longer than they have and not being 'blood' isn't even a consideration.  

Well bless you for that too!  I am 59 now and, I'll tell you, when my 60th comes next year, I refuse to be graceful about it.  I fight every day not to put back on the masses of weight that I lost (over 5 stone) - no cake during the week (very hard some days!), walk/run a couple of miles every other day (damn old knees are starting to complain about that though, bugger!).  I actually feel better now than I have for years and comments like yours certainly do help a lot!

Thanks Linda! Yes, I'm thrilled!  I just received my copies last night. Four pages inside too with more pics of the cake and my interview!! Woo hoo! haha can you tell I'm excited??

Thank you Linda for taking the time to look at my cakes. I started working with fondant last July and learning with every cake. Hope I can achieve some of your talent in time as your decorating is amazing love your flowers in particular.  

Wow! Your work is tunning! I am still a beginner, but love baking and creating. I am also self taught, but find all the tutorials on internet very helpful. 

Thank you for the friend invite. I glanced at some of the baker's cakes and realised that I am truly a novice. But I am surely in the right company. I Entered my beach theme cake at our local show, to test myself. I did not get any place but it did inspire me to try harder next year. So I am open for suggestions. Enjoy Fathers day.

Hey Linda...! Do you know about "Arti Cakes" or "Arty Cakes" (I think they go be both...?) in the UK... They have a facebook page as well that's really wonderful... such pretty floral "butter cream"  cakes... I think you would LOVE their work... I'm obsessed...

I hope things are going better for you... I look forward to the day I study with you!

Thanks Linda...!

Bless you!

Hi Linda -

Thank you for the head's up about adding more of a description to my Fall cake entry.  I very much appreciate it!  :) - Christine

Congrats on the fall cake win:0)

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful work Linda.  I'm so glad you've decided to give it another go around.  Your work is an inspiration to me.....wow!

Hullo you talented decorator - my word Linda, you are an inspiration!  How come I haven't seen you on any of the food network challenges?  WOwzer - thank you for adding me as a friend :-)  I so love this forum where I can speak openly about my worries (and pass on any tips I may have).  Take care and thank you for the wonderful work you put out there for us to enjoy and hopefuly emulate xox

It's just an amazing cake tale xox

any tips on this upside down frilly cake of yours? sooooo vintage, so now!

Hi Linda, I would also appreciate the instructions and in particular the corn. Goodness I was stunned when I saw the detail. I just had to enlarge it to make sure. What can I say : If you're good you are good...and you are one of the best! :-D 

Thanks so much Linda for your help. I still need to learn a lot about being a member of this community. I highly appreciate your kindness.

Wow...... a new and profile pic.....  You look wonderful. What happened to your glasses?Looking skinny, skinny......  :o)

Oh yes, I do remember now you telling me about your cataract surgery.  I had my eyes lasered 5 yrs ago. Doc tried to talk me into leaving one eye for seeing close up. Explained the "brain" thing, which does work, know some who had it done that way. I chose not to. I only use reading glasses when, well reading, or on computer. If the light is really good, don't need the glasses. Don't need them for driving. Don't miss my glasses at all.

Love your picture Linda.

Hey Linda - guess what?  Mick and I started to watch a new series to UK TV last night, called Hell on Wheels.  If you don't know it, it's roughly based on post American Civil War and the building of the railroads.  But the first scene was based on Council Bluffs, IA in 1865!  That felt really weird, knowing that you live there.  Was it a coincidence or is there some historical significance to Council Bluffs?
