princesswoo. Nice cake. I bake as well. The presents are a hastle to make when you have long nails I find. In fact I ALWAYS stab my nails through fondant which is why I try to not use it so much otherwise I am forced to cut my nails off if I am making it for something else.
Mary Berry would be proud :-)

I made these for a mate of mine:
they were cupcake toppers. luckily they shipped well!:-)

These look lovely too - you are all just so clever :T:T:T

I guess we can also presume someone from HO is lurking ?? :(

Alarm bells must have been blaring at HO, with so many OEP products going through the tills in the hundreds Then it only takes one or two eagle eyed SA to notice the discounts then they alert their duty manager, whom I suspect alert HO.

Just my thoughts :rotfl:It was running for 2 days, we really were not going to get much more from this glitch.

Here it is, its the first time I have ever made a christmas cake,
first time I ever marzipanned one,
and the first time I have ever iced & decorated one,
I usually just stick with simple cupcakes.

Im so pleased with myself.

Absolutely beautiful ... well done ... and so you should be proud.

Can I ask a numpty question? I've never iced a cake before ... did you use coloured icing or a food colour with white icing? Gonna try icing ours this w/e ... you'll have no competition tho cos with 2yo twins it'll look nothing like yours :rotfl:

I'm amazed it lasted into the second day, they must have been aware of it and tried to correct it hence the extra discount that kicked in yesterday :j

Fixed you say? NOOOO!

Was thinking of the best way to use the oep stuff up, I mainly went for jars as they keep longer and I'm more likely to use them. Got a few packs of wraps, but not many. I love chilli lasagne, make it quite often. Just make a normal chilli and use like bolognaise, mix garlic and herbs into the white sauce, and put salsa and nachos on top with the cheese. I started thinking about using sour cream instead, not sure how much but mix some in with the white sauce. Nachos/salsa/jalapenos are sorted for the topping, but could you use tortillas instead of pasta? Thinking the corn ones would work better, but only got flour ones. Someone earlier mentioned using them as canneloni, so should be possible?

I use icing colouring but use the paste kind as the liquid kind (great for butter icing) makes the fondant icing too wet
