No, I haven't joined the boy scouts. But I am taking a leaf out of their book... well, using their motto, actually. Be prepared!
So, to that end, I've made three ikkle flower pots from modelling paste, for one of the cakes this weekend (gardening theme). I've also made part of the hand-fork and the trowel that are going on it.
My niece's cake is baked. I learnt, today, that you can actually freeze a fully decorated cake. The trick is to let it defrost slowly, and not touch it at all whilst it's defrosting - so that the condensation is re-absorbed back into the cake and won't mark it. So I may decorate it tomorrow, wrap it well, then bung it in the freezer. Or I may just fill it and marzipan it, then freeze it. I'm not sure yet. It would be good to try, as an experiment... and as it's "only" family. ;o) As I may have said before, I'd never ever freeze a customer's cake. But this is for my niece. LOL!!
The tendonitis in my feet is still agony. It's been about 4 weeks now. I think a trip to the doctor might be in order. But let's get these cake orders out of the way first, eh?
