Hi guys, sorry been MIA recently! Not really been making anything just cupcakes and cookies. I have a blossom cake to do by fri and ive left things a bit late. When making gum paste, after ive added the gum tragacanth do I need to leave it overnight or can i use it right away?

 

[Arlandria]

Blah > Not used gum trag but have used tylo and you have to use the sugar paste straight away if you've mixed it in. I would assume you'd have to do same with gum trag but not 100% sure

Shiv > Those cakes look scrum!

pics of my Choc Mocha GIANT CUPCAKE as promised..

https://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s51/tsia977/Image0934.jpg

we iced it when it was still a little warm and it made the icing trickle down.. it makes it look so yummy and scrumptious.. and tastes devine. Has coffee sponge and milk and dark choc frosting. topped off with decorations similar to a rocky road.





and a few cupcakes that me and my little sister decorated while shes visiting in the school holidays.

omg that giant cupcake looks delish!

I've just made and iced my mums bday cake ready to fondant and decorate tomorrow! I was doing my blossoms and read a tip online to eject them onto a sponge so you dont need to round them by hand saved loads of time!

 

[Arlandria]

Yeah ive seen a sponge used a few times but not got one! thing that'll be my new purchase this w/end

 

[KrisKitten]

Mmmm yummy cupcakes and giant cupcake.
Yeh blah thats what i do, but i use the little sponge that comes in the pot with the cutters. Saves on tons of time.
When i use flowerpaste to cut out my letters I always go over the left overs with my blossom/heart cutters so iv now got a nice box of them ready to be used if and when x
