Hmm yeah I did have to smooth it lots and lots to get the lines out...haha maybe ill just leave it half an hour l,ike your sposed to.

I didnt think of a ruler Good idea!

I need to make cerise pink icing, i dont think you can buy it can you?

 

[taperjeangirl]

yeah you can, its M&B that make it, you can buy it here..... https://www.blueribbons.co.uk/shop/7/41/80/index.htm

 

[xxxjacxxx]

oh wow! Thanks Andrea. Have you ever used it?

 

[taperjeangirl]

yeah, its a really good icing!

 

[nuttymummy]

lol andrea, im not sure how u get it straight, i was going to ask u how u got yours ruffly LOL and mines a wilton 1m too!

ive used M&B in the past, used to be my 'usual' icing, but certain colours can be a nightmare, some packs can be soft as hell, and other packs be like bricks. they are really inconsistent some times. but its the only one that does hot pink....smells abit funny though LOL

i buttercream my cake, then cover it straight away

ooo youve done it andrea? how did u find it?

only cakes ive got are for a farm cake on saturday, and england theme birthday cupcakes on sunday

xxx

 

[xxxjacxxx]

I think you meant me there Tracey lol!

Oh, I'm not sure how I get them ruffley, haha, I think I go a bit slower with the swirls iykwim....do you go pretty quick with yours?

 

[pinkmummy]

I have used the M&B colours before I used them for the cake I made with a gun and they were quite good xx

 

[taperjeangirl]

erm found it ok, lining up the coloured numbers was a bit of a nightmare! I liked doing the mahogany effect though!!

 

[xxxjacxxx]

Ohhh I cant wait to see it!

Did you see the roulette table they did on cake boss? OMG I love that program, Andrea they did something from cereal bars too...I tghought of you and your trainer when I saw it

Does it spin?

 

[taperjeangirl]

haha im not that good!!!! i keep wanting to make it spin though!!!

yeah theirs was amazing!!!! Neila dn i were talking about how they always carry cake downstairs and never drop them..... Then they dropped that massive one th eother night!!!

Did you see the platter of pastries they did for the pregnant women?! YUM!!!!

 

[nuttymummy]

LMAo jac yeah i meant u.....my brain is elsewhere this morning, didnt get back from A&E till 2.30 this morning LOL

o yeah, did u paint the mahogany effect on? the only thing i dont like about painting, is that it was abit of a shiny effect, and the rest of the fondant on the cake is matte. i cant remember which cake i painted now....but i know ive done abit of painting before!

 

[taperjeangirl]

yeah and it looks really good! It has a shiny wooden effect..... like a glaze! Looks more like wood than I thought it would!

Hope your Dad is ok! x

 

[nuttymummy]

great stuff!!

ha ha yeah my dad has 3 big stitches on his mouth, took hours for them to see us though. it happened at about 10pm n didnt get back till about 2.30am! hes a bloody nutter!

 

[xxxjacxxx]

AWW Tracey glad your dad is ok!

Andrea, I know I was gutted for them when they dropped it! But then, that big dinosaur one went down in a lift thing...makes me wonder why they dont all go down that way eliminates the possibility of being dropped But, hell they make it look sooooooo easy! I want a cake shop like that some day, with people who bake, make me flowers etc and i'll just run around giving orders!

 

[taperjeangirl]

Alot of it is staged I think!


i just want someone to do all the baking!! I like all the other bits!

Hmmm maybe someone to mix up coloured fondant too!

 

[Jo]

I luuuurve Cake boss, I was wondering about the lift thing as well.
They spent hours/days making Lexi's cake then managed to re do it in 1 1/2 hours, that is dodgy to me
Big guy blatently tipped it, I paused it and rewound to show Anthony

 

[xxxjacxxx]

Jo, my Anthony sits and watches it with me, he loves it!
does anyone know what i can use instead of b/cream to cover a polystyrene cake?

 

[taperjeangirl]
