Ohhhh wow! Leanne....how do you get your buttercream two-tone like that?

you put the main colour u want in the piping bag first then which ever other colour u want

What sparkles do you use Leanne? Love the thick piping...reminds me of a big yummy whippy ice cream

Im sure I read somewhere about using sandwich bags for an icing bag? I bought a tala icing bag kit from argos and it split last night.....

Ok promise not to laugh this is my first attempt at using fondant EVER! It's so emabarrasingly shocking but it was fun its a chocie cake just experimenting before lilly's birthday next week so need lots of practice little elephant on the top if you can make that out very rough just wanted to practice with fondant and put some m&ms and ribbon on at the end just to add some colour as we had no colouring in lol.
Oh yeah, also put my thumb through the fondant so you can see that at the bottom don't ask! Shall i bother carrying on? haha
