that really made me smile , its lovely.
and dont be worried people thinking your showing off, its good to get appreciation for all the effort we put in

Thank you both. I know it technically shouldn't be in the cake section because you can't eat it but the entire thing did start life as a bag of icing sugar. I'm having confidence issues at the moment as hubby is away and I have no one home to ask if it's ok

It is fantastic! Its great to upload pics to this thread where people who understand the work that goes in to cakes can admire and congratulate on a good job!

Finished the topper now. Will post the full cake when it's done next week.



I've no idea why it's so big. I've resized it but it's still massive. Sorry

*Oh, it's small now lol*

I made cupcakes for a tea party yesterday - I wanted to practice my decorating technique. The buttercream wasn't really stiff enough (that's what you get for rushing!), but they didn't turn out too bad!!!

Sprinkled them with lemon sparkle dust and topped with handmade flowers Might do something similar in pink and green for DD Tinkerbell party....

This is the cake I made for my DD's birthday, I admit I stole the idea from one I saw on the web but it was relatively simple to do and I'm really pleased with the result

Hi can anyone help,
I read on here about frosting made using mallow fluff, are there any shops that sell it, I have only been able to find it online,
or could i melt ordinary marshmallows and mix that with the butter. Help please

most supermarkets sell it

no, you couldnt melt marshmallows, as they just turn into a sticky glob

mallowfluff looks more like shaving foam, or the inside of a tunnocks snowball - so just creamy, bubbly marshmallow, rather than the solid stuff like flumps

There is a recipe somewhere on the net that uses melted marshmallows, couldn't find it last night though when I googled. It's an american website I think.
