Hi welcome ! I did the badge in pastilliage as I wanted it nice and hard as originally I was going to stand it on top of the cake but I had a change of plan lol! Then I flooded with royal icing, so firstly I used a stiff royal icing for the border then let it dry a bit, then flooded the inside with runny royal icing to give an even finish. Then when completely dry I painted the badge on using sugar flair super white mixed with vanilla, I'd normally use vodka but didn't have any in. It took a couple of coats to get it white. I was originally going to pipe over it with white royal icing but I liked the super white effect, hooe that helps
Hi, I have a quick question. I have someone wanting a cake like this and I'm wondering how to get the blue fondant and the red and white blocks level. Meaning I dont want to cover the cake in blue and add the red and white as then the red and white will stand out. Any brilliant ideas?? https://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee282/xxnicxxjd/xxnicxxjd001/cake2.jpg
Yay glad you found a tutorial. That is definitely one of those cakes that looks easy peasy and then has you sobbing into your apron at 3 in the morning lol Or maybe that's just me lol
Can I join ladies?? I'm thinking about starting off basics, and doing just cupcakes to start off. Any tips or advice?
Hi welcome Was there anything in particular you were wanting to know? I can honestly say cupcakes aren't really my forte but just because I prefer to do big cakes but I'll help if I can Emma xx
I'm just starting out so anything that would help me? From baking the cupcake to piping the topping, anything in particular I should make sure I do or don't do? Xx
I love making cupcakes. I like to get as many different piping nozzles as I can get my hands on and just experiment with piping techniques. Here's some I did in a rose design with a Wilton 2D nozzle for a customer order
I am no professional at all, but would love to be one day. I made a simple giant cupcake a few weeks ago for my daughter's cakesmash, and made a 3-tier fondant birthday cake for her party a few days ago. The cake is a bit sloppy, but I was working on a wooden table and it seemed no matter how much flour I used, the fondant never wanted to come off. Wax tablecloth seems much better to work on..
