Hi Ladies
Need your help please. As it is Pudsey day on Friday we are having a fund raising few days at work so I thought of making some cakes. I am gooing to make some cupcakes and a large sponge cake covered with wihite sugarpaste and I thought of making small circles which are pudsey clours to put in the white icing. I wanted to make them out of Royal Icing but dont know what to put them in till they set. I thought of a pop bottle lid but then changed my mind as I probably will not get them out or they will comne out in pieces.

Any ideas??

Thanks

If you really wanted to use royal icing I would suggest using the 'flooding out' tecnique. Basically make uo your royal icing mix nice and thik then pipe an outline circle straight onto your iced cake. Once the outline is dry make the icing slightly runnier and fill in middle. This is really effective and you don't have to worry about the delicate royal icing breaking.

The Dr Oetker box of coloured icing has all the colours you need, well its got red black blue yellow and green and thats the colours on pudseys eye patch, and its only about 3ish quid in the supermarket so maybe that would be ok?

Right, this weekend I give making an iced cake a first go. It's going to take a lot of work (why oh why do I pick something as ambitious as the Alien from the Alien film for a first cake?) but if I can get to it, it'll be worth it. I have all the stuff, now all I have to do is make the thing! I shall supply pictures of the finished article.

Does anyone know where I can buy plastic Toy Story cake toppers from? I've searched online but only seem to find the printed rice paper ones and I'm supposed to be doing a cake for a friend with some!

Thanks!

You may be better off looking for small plastic figures in tesco/asda/toys-r-us etc
