Hi girls!

Dont know if this has already been discussed but your thread is massive!!! lol

I have a question, On bens christening cake was a train made of icing. I still have this train in a sealed plastic tub, is there anyway of keeping this 'forever' by varnishing or some other way of preserving the train?

Any tips??
 
im pretty sure it should last forever anyway as the sugar preserves it i think xxx
 
i have a sugar turtle from my 14 yr olds 1st birthday cake and it is still fine!! Think they will last forever as long as you keep them from moisture :)
 
Yes I just bubble wrap and put in a small box.I have a ornament from 10 yrs ago and it is ok

Anyone got any tips on doing a carved cake? xxx

With regards to the carved cake, the only tips I have are to use a fairly firm cake mix (madeira is usually best) as it holds its shape better and won't just disintergrate, use a serrated edged knife and break the final cake down into segments and 'build' it using a range of different shaped carved cakes (I really don't know if i'm explaining myself very well here!), rather than carving the cake as a whole, many of the cakes by Debbie Brown show you a good method of how to do this. Also crumb coating once carved is a must!
HTH xx

I steam mine with the iron :rofl: Gives it a nice 'shine' and gets rid of any excess icing sugar.
 
Thanks girls, just thought Id check :)

Keep up the gorgeous cake making!
