Cakes R Us

Last week was week Five of our icing classes, only one week to go. We iced our fruit cakes with plastic icing, working quickly and smoothing and polishing it as we worked. We sliced around the edge carefully with our special tools pressing and smoothing and the end results were quite good. Next we put our spray of flowers and ribbons on: we were delighted with the result – our cakes look quite professional.
I plan to take mine to my son’s house for Christmas lunch. I don’t know if I’ll let them eat it; we may just have to look and admire.
We have had a lot of fun decorating the cakes and are considering continuing next term, especially now we have purchased such a lot of equipment.
Like many hobbies it is expensive but the right tools are essential for a professional look.
