    Good evening and congratulations for your blog well documented and often updated.

    There are many controversies about shoe care including frequency of use of the cream over the dough. Personally, I reverse that you advocate: I mainly use the cream and cream pigmented universal and I reserve the pulp for the icing. However I do not claim to be right.

    Concerning the storage of shoes, I leave them in their shoe but without the slide in their pouches or in their box. I am in this council Peter Corthay which considers the night to lock the moisture transfer: http://www.ruedesexperts.com/video/avant-de-ranger-ses-chaussures-dmlkZW8vMjA4.html

    Finally, thank you for the link to our forum ;-)
