I have to admit I love making these little chocolate models, this year I’ve come up with these cutie pie little chocolate penguins, I’m sure you know someone who’d love one of these!
2 – Quilted Christmas Cake
If you’re short of time it’s good to have a quick and easy idea up your sleeve for your Christmas cake.
Ice White Snowflakes Cake
This is a stunningly simple cake and can be adapted to suit your own selection of cutters and kitchen implements! The snowflakes are made from modelling paste instead of a regular sugarpaste as it dries harder much more quickly and can be rolled extremely thinly.
Festive Lights Cake
You will need:
1 x 8” Christmas cake, marzipanned and covered in white sugarpaste
A black edible ink pen (available from Lakeland, Amazon here or your local Hobbycraft)
Sugarpaste in festive colours (red, blue, yellow and green)
A little royal icing
A piping tip or a small round cutter.
Purple & Snowflakes Christmas Cake
This cake will work in all sorts of colour combinations – this year I’m drawn to all things purple but go with your own colour scheme if you’d prefer.
You will need:-
Modelling paste – purple and white
Snowflake sugarpaste cutters – large, medium and small
Cake Decorating – Top Tips #5
Get yourself a good Sugarpaste Rolling Pin!
This one may seems a bit daft, but how many of you are covering cakes with a regular old rolling pin? Chances are its a wooden one and you’re finding it a bit on the short side?
Cake Decorating – Top Tips #4
Make your own Modelling Paste
This will save you a fortune. Using a modelling paste for most cake decorations, flowers and bits and pieces is much much easier than using sugarpaste (fondant). It dries out quicker so will hold the shape you want it to with ease.
