Thanks Taperjeangirl, is that how to stick the fondant onto the cake then..with buttercream? Mybe thats another thing I did wrong last time..I just stuck it down with jam..that will have shown lumps n bumps up more? Well done on getting more cake orders are you advertising or is it purely word of mouth? Good luck, your cakes look beautiful, I'm sure you'll manage them! x

Thanks

yeah you cover your cake in buttercream, set it in the fridge, then add your fondant

It is all word of mouth with mine!

Wow, that cake looks so cute. You must be so proud!

Today I managed to make some fluff doh, no idea of the exact english name but it is used for sausage rolls etc. I always thought it would be really hard so never tried it but in fact it is a piece of cake!!!

I was just wondering, do you all draw out your cakes before you make them - like a design?

I have my ideas for Emmas 1st birthday cake and I want a plan this time rather than just seeing what happens.

 

[taperjeangirl]

i usually plan it in my head mostly!

the first couple I did I drew a sketch but after that its all in my head! I lay awake some nights planning cakes

Ok ladies can anyone help?

The recipe asked for white chocolate to be melted with a tablespoon of milk.When i did this it went into a hard gooey lump and clumped together...looked like scrambled egg!
So i just melted some more without milk and used that.What am i doing wrong?
