Well, Christmas is well and truly over now. We had a quiet new year's eve. Now it's back to work.
I've just covered 4 ice cream cones with really small circles of sugarpaste, to look like slates on turret tower roofs for the castle cake I've got later this week. I've made the towers - I made some pastillage and this is BY FAR the best medium I've used to make them. It's quick drying and strong enough that once it's dried I don't need an internal support (ie cardboard kitchen roll tube!) Tomorrow morning I'll bake the 8" square and 5" round cakes. I'll start to cover them tomorrow evening and then finish it off on Thursday, ready for delivery on Friday. There are at least 100 'tiles' on each tower roof!
I also need to make a Cinderella and Prince Charming for this cake. Hmmmm...... wish me luck. I don't know if there's time to make it - or even room for it on the cake board - but I bought some polystyrene ball things from Hobbycraft... they way they have grooves in them makes them perfect to cover and use as the base of Cinderella's pumpkin coach! :o)
Anyway, time to clear up the kitchen, me thinks!
