You can, but the liquidy ones you get in supermarkets are quite rubbish for doing fondant but they are fine of you are just messing around with it!

The best ones to get if you are making a cake for "real"! are the professional pastes and liquids. They also do loads of cool colours!

that blossom cake is gorgeous!


I use regalice professional fondant for my proper cakes, its a lot better tasting that tesco/morrison/asda own brand and doesn't rip as easily.

For my flowers I use flowerpaste from squires kitchen

+ I use sugarflair pastes for colouring. They last ages and ages and are really concentrated so a little goes far!

Help girls!

The cake I am making next month is to be a Barbie themed cake. I really dont want to do the dolls body sticking into a cake that is made to look like a skirt. iykwim?

I have been searching and can't find anything else that I could top a cake with that is Barbie
Have any of you seen anything about that I could use?

!!!

I can't think of anything other than making a barbie figure out of fondant and toothpicks!

[saraendepity]

wow!!!!

 

[taperjeangirl]

aahhh thanks girls! I seen a pic somewhere they have made a 2 tier stack and put a barbie sitting on top with a fondant skirt.
Might give that a go! I was hoping to keep it quite straight forward and simple but that plan is going out the window!

It is for a 5 year old and she is having a huge party so ALOT of people will be seeing this cake, I am super nervous!

 

[saraendepity]

i'm sure you'll do a fab job..cant wait to see pix !!!

 

[katycam]

Here are my two most recent cakes

This is a picture of the cake I copied, I forgot to take a picture of it before we ate it, but it looked exactly like this except mine had a cocktail umbrella instead of palm trees and I put an inner tube in the water
