fairyprincess76

hello

i'm new on here and need all the advice i can get.

i do lots of cakes for family just for fun but i have been asked to do a christening cake and although i am honered i am also really nervous.

she wants little booties on the top which i am practising and just wondered what the best thing is to use?

i am using regalice at the moment but want to use something abit stronger and have never done anything to this standard before so lots of advice greatfully accepted

thankyou

hiya

get yourself along to an icing shop and chat to the people there, they can advise you properly and normally will give you more suggestions than you know what to do with

you need flower paste which you mix 50/50 with the sugarpaste (the regalice) and that gives you a stronger paste but one with which you can model (and hence its called modelling paste!)

also if you want to colour the paste you need to use colour paste rather than liquid colours so that the consistancy of the icing isn't affected.

I love decorating cakes, its absolutely fab and handing them over is always the best bit

good luck
