Aldi's is where I've been buying my powdered sugar from for my cake decorating business for about 20+ years now. Cheaper than local grocers and cheaper than super walmart too.

What beautiful cakes -- thanks for sharing! This is a long shot, but have you ever used non-crusting buttercream (such as Italian meringue buttercream) as your base for brush embroidery? Or non-crusting buttercream for the embroidery itself? ← The only non crusting icing I use is cream cheese and I don't decorate with it. I would think it would be nearly impossible but there's always a possibility someone figured out a way to do it.

I don't work with fondant much but do a lot of other cakes with buttercream and with Spring here now I would love to use the technique for some upcoming cakes. ←
