    I've tried microwaving them too, but they just get hot. Unmeltable chocolate - who'd have thought it eh?

    jackie, do you just mean mix some icing sugar with milk? And jam - not sure if that would set enough, and I only have some damson jam that my mum made in about 2006. :o
    What kind of chocolate is this? The whole point about chocolate chips is that they're generally easier to melt!

    You can make up some buttercream to stick things together with (butter, icing sugar) and make it an unpleasant colour to add to the impact if you like. Or use the 2006 damson jam... it'll probably set like concrete by now :p

    Morrisons milk chocolate chips. Useless! :(

    So I went and bought Cadburys. :)

    I'm not liking this icing though.... :undecided
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    No, the ghosts from post #73.

    Here we go then. Not as neat as MummyOfTwo's, but I'm quite happy with these. :D

    That fondant icing is foul. It's sticky, fragile, and seems to sweat (glycerine?). It tastes revolting too. Good job I've got 4 undecorated cakes left over for me. :j
