I know a plasterer who really is great at icing cakes.Friend of mine's daughter had her 3 tiered wedding cake iced by him..............hands Kitty a trowel.......steady hand now ;O)

LOL..................now that IS a good plan:)))))

*wonders if white tac would be better* LOL

Of course it was a packet Claire!! You know me so well:)))

Mmmmmm..................I might making the icing, *asks OH*

I will be using ready made by the sound of it!! lol

Susan..........thanks......I think!?!?!?

xx

sorry Kitty....can't help you with your dilema

George Cloony.....Sigh.....he's calling to me.....must go watch

one tip before I go though.....don't use nails...use screws, you may want to re-ajust the position of the icing

Kitty, if your oh is any good at plastering let him ice the cake....same thing just smaller trowel ;-)))

A week if you've made the marzipan yourself. I take it your's is from a packet so just a day or so

How long does it take to dry.................*peeps in to see how the crazy paving is going*

Not looking too bad:))

Kitty you need to let the marzipan dry before you attempt the cement oops sorry icing

LOL Jill I remember offering to make my own yorkshires one day and he looked at me and said "please don't"

I bought Aunt Bessies

Amanda...........................is it really easy??

Only recipe books lie all the time you know..............they say do this and do that, then just turn the cake onto a cooling tray. What about when the middle bit falls out and the rest is welded to the cake tin??

Where are the instructions for that????

Nowhere in sight!! *tuts*

its not my cake.....like Claire I buy mine from M & S...lol

NO - buy it. In a roll. It's easy - promise. Please Kitty - don't make your own icing - ask your OH - he'll say no. Or at least he'll look really really worried!

Buy it!

Jill

PMSL @ Amanda

PMSL @ Claire.....

*panics* I didn't seive it!!!!!!

Should I keep quiet??? *worries*

OH says it's sort of sticking...........but I don't like the looks he's giving me!!

"To stick the marzipan to the cake use apricot jam which has been sieved and boiled. The boiling makes sure no mould is present. "

RIP Kitty's saucepans, cooker & maybe the entire kitchen

Right......................that's the jam on, oh is trying to crazypave the marzipan on it.

I hope it tastes alright...............its a bit on the heavy side, but I have been wartering it with brandy every other day:))

Now do I try to make Royal icing...............or do they sell ready made stuff??

*sighs heavily*

** shakes head at Amanda ...toooooooooo late see what you have done ..**

'ere I have some nail glue ...
