I didn't have any butter so I used marg LOL. I used 175g marg and 300g of icing sugar and a little drop of vanilla essence

 

[pinkmummy]

Gorgeous cake Andrea! Don't touch it!! Its bloody lovely!! Daft woman

Where do you get icing whitener Holly? I've never heard of that?!

 

[polo_princess]

I got mine from Craftcompany, but you can probably get it from ebay or any online cake supplier

Well my ice cream cupcakes didnt poision Toria, Brooke or Caitlyn so they must of been ok

Im off to ebay for some more supplies ... though i dont get paid until next week

Im quite lucky actually, the girl at work also makes cakes so we both have acess to x2 of our supplies as we just borrow what we need as and when

OMG OMG OMG.....I have a mission....I have managed to get myself roped into making Wobbles Meggies 1st birthday cake arrgghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I'm thinking I might just go buy one

need your help girls for some ideas..she wants simple, which is fab as I only do simple but I wanna make it a bit special you know.
She's chosen this candle for on top:
https://www.partypieces.co.uk/pages...party+cakes+and+candles_candles&cookie_test=1
and has 2 little sparklers, so I'm thing 12 inch round with light pink icing all over, Maybe little purple butterflies and brighter pink hearts all over, or just hearts in pink and purple (match butterfly on candle) with a brighter pink ribbon around it, to cover any bad cutting by me
and on the top, the candle towards the top edge, and I want to cut MEGAN out of purple or pink fondant and put that on the bottom edge of the top..iyswim?

so, i have heart cutters, cant seem to find a cutter thats the same sort of butterfly as that candle though...I was looking at the wilton icing colour set, can I make purple and brighter pink with those or am I best buying ready mixed colours...arghhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm stressing now, cant beleive i'm doing this.

This is what i wanted for madam lol! I need to find letters i can cut out, and also butterflies!

Thank you I bought the diamante number off a cake shop on ebay, they do single numbers too in silver or gold

I did make the flowers, they are super fragile, I am glad I made loads extra because I kept dropping them and they were shattering!
Daisy was wandering round the kitchen with her little dustpan and brush sweeping all the little petals up!

This cake is £60

Was a 10" and an 8"

i was thinking that too about Katies Kitchen......... after I'd finished that cake yesterday, Claire (purpledahilia) said she was coming over to get it (was supposed to be today)

I thought "shit, there is icing sugar EVERYWHERE!!"
It looked like I hadnt dusted for weeks!
