I did cover the whole board first with the giant cupcakes but with a normal shaped cake I place the cake on first then cut out a circle or square just smaller than the actual cake size the place it over the cake and down on to the board. I just rolled out the fondant to the size of the board brushed some water over it, placed the fondant on and ran a sharp knife around the edge xxx

Bindi What size is your cake does it give you the option to order smaller pictures
Thanks

Yeh I think you can tell them what siz you need. The dj decks were slighlty smaller than an a4 sheet and I made the cake to accomodate that.

wow theres some amazingly talented people on here :T
looking for a little advice
I usually make choc cakes but the kids have asked if I could make some character birthday cakes instead.looking at the cost of coloured icing ect for the amount I'd actually need works out expensive is there a cheaper way of doing it?

any tips on where to start? thanks

you can colour yourself with gel colourants but it is hard work. i would only do this with pastel type colours, would buy if the colour was bright red or navy blue or black

This are great! especially at such short notice could i ask how you cooled them so quickly for decoration, was it in the freezer?
