Thanks. I wanna make little pigs at the weekend so this is probably a good tip for them! Will have a go.

 

[Glitterfairy]

I made pigs last year,really easy but look really effective.

 

[Laura2919]

Yeah a friend of mine did them and I wanna try them out!

 

[Elpis_x]

Yeah i'd love to see your Blog

I've been playing around a bit tonight......

Wow, those are absolutely stunning!

This is my blog: clicky. It hasn't been updated in quite a while though, hopefully I'll get round to putting my newer stuff on there soon My OH tends to eat a lot of it before I can take picture though normally

I hate those stupid tappit letter cutters! I've tried loads of times cutting them out with flowerpaste and they still break. Grrr, lol.

Chewy - Roll your icing out into strips ready to be used for cutting the letters out and let it go slightly hard. Make sure your tappits are completely dry I dust them in icing sugar then whack really hard first time...my trick is the going hard slightly works a treat for me hope that helps X

Hi ladies hope your all ok

Quick question about christening cake toppers - some i have seen are little play cubes with letters on them with a teddy in either blue or pink.

Are these made out of fondant or gumtrag/modelling paste? Any ideas?

Thankyou

 

[Arlandria]

I make mine out of icing (fondant with tylo) currently making some for this weekend xx

Oh and dont have your icing too thick, if it bulges through the letters on the top they'll be hard to get out x

Quick Q, Has anyone made a giant cupcake before? I cant remember?

I wanna ice it like swirls. like a small cupcake. Do you use a 1m on it?

 

[mummytobe]

Help !

Ive made a cake and didnt put in any baking paper at the bottom of the tin, i did grease it well tho, anyhoo the bottom of my cake tin is stuck on the bottom of the cake. How do i get it off

 

[Arlandria]

Use a cake cutter?? Or knife if you dont have one?

Laura > Never made one hun XX But I'd try the 1m - its not like its small and you know it looks nice! x

 

[Whoppy-pop]

Laura have a look on Cake Baker's fan page on FB, there are some great pics of giants covered with 1M swirls x

How did you get on? x

 

[mummytobe]

I couldn't do it with the knife , but I waited till it was cool enough to touch and coaxed it off !! I managed to put icing on the cake my first attention ever and I must say it was easier than I expected. I didn't think it through though cause when the icing was on didn't know what to do next so I ended up putting a small heart in the middle and a couple of red balls lol. Tastes great though!!
