Hey guys, ive had a friend of a friend ask me if i would do her a cupcake tower for her wedding. She wants ivory cupcases (easy enough to find) with gold buttercream on some and red on the other with thier initials on some and hearts on the others. Now i can manage the red but can you get gold colouring for buttercream?? Can i ask your opinion on what you would do or give me tips please. Ive said ill practice this weekend and get some to her for next week to try out and see if she likes them. Help!!!

thanks guys, i think i might go with the spray or maybe just get some gold sprinkles as its proving quite hard to find something to turn buttercream gold.

I know this forum is for cakes but can anyone help me with a recipe for a freezable chocolate tart? My sons christening is coming up and I want to prepare them so they just need to defrost. Thanks
