Hi Nanamia
Love this cake did you do the writing free hand and how did you make the thistle
Thanks

Nanamia

Aaw thanks Awesome the lettering is FME tappits using florists paste and painted over with light silver powders mixed with vodka. The thistle is just coloured sugar paste I played with ! Ha x

I normally bake for my friends' birthday but one of my friends is doing Slimming World - does anyone have any recipes that would accommodate this diet plan?

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering how you all use the fondant on sponge cakes. I have seen where people but a layer of butter cream underneath it. Is that how you all do it ?

I am doing a wedding cake in August and have only ever put fondant on to marzipan .

Thanks in advance
