[nuttymummy]

i do that everyday, because theres always washing up, toys everywhere i do 'panic tidying' all the time LOL

 

[xxxjacxxx]

OK please someone give me link for flower cutters and alphabet cut out letters, and ribbon! Whatver i search for doesn't work

sam.....I will do yours....if you want me too?

I'm sorry I didn't offer in the first place I was just worried I wouldn't be able to make something that meets your expectations...I know how fussy you are

But something simplish, I should be able to do for you..let me know what sort of thing you want, please dont say 'like Andrea's!' although I maybe could do a two tier as will be doing one for Leo's cake.....

girls your cakes are fabulous!!! Andrea....speechless yet again..

I want gerbera cutters now!

Andrea, tell me again what is the best stuff to use for modelling icing stuff? And ive read to make butterflies 3d you drape them over a peice of folded card? Is this right, how do get the gerberas 3d like, and do you put them in the fridge to harden?

[nuttymummy]

whatever u do DONT put them in the fridge hun....they melt!! xxx best to be dried at room temperature for a few days...never the fridge, i made that mistake when i first started out cake making LOL

 

[taperjeangirl]

Thank you hun

I either use squires sugar dough....... or mix Gum Tragcanth into normal fondant, its just a powder that will make the fondant firmer for modelling

I have only ever made butterflies once! I bought the plunger cutters to make then for that cake then decided to buy some fabric ones instead!

Yep fold over some card and hang it over.

The Gerberas I just kind of draped them over a little edible glue pot and turned up the corners! Let them sit for 10 mins then moved them onto a plate and let them dry out overnight.
Dont need to go in the fridge hun, leave them overnight, then once they have dried you can store them in a plastic tub till you areready to use them

jac......look int he background of this pic and you will see some butterflies drying, just bend some card/paper in v's

Tracey I like your cake, is that the one that wanted the gold balls?

Is it real flowers on it? I want to do a cake with real flowers!!

 

[taperjeangirl]

OOhhhh lookie! I always thought you would hang it over, rather than lay them inbetween!

Fab! Might make some later on now I have a new tip!
