A day or two before Auntie went home, my mum popped round. "Are you busy?" she asked. "No. Why?" "Can you do something with this? They didn't have much at all to choose from. We're having a little birthday get-together for your aunt tonight. I don't know what you use... maybe some spray or something? But it needs some colour, don't you think?"
I hadn't started dinner yet. Matthew had club that night. I didn't have a chance to do much. This is the best I could come up with, under the circumstances! I 'painted' the scrolls already on the cake. I already had the hearts and stars on wires, so I lightly brushed them with confectioner's glaze and then dipped them in edible glitter. I piped the inscription in white and then painted over that, so that it would match the scrolls. And the whole thing had a light spray with the spray on pearly stuff!
It was a bl**dy horrible thing to work on. The first 'posy pick' I used (that's a little plastic thing that you put the wires into, then you put that into the cake... you mustn't put wires directly into a cake!) was deeper than the flippin' cake was! I had to use a teeny-weeny one.
