Yesterday was my nephew's birthday and this was his cake. I am not usually a sugar paste cake kind of girl as I find it really difficult to work with but with the hints and tips I was given at Fitzbillies, I finally took the plunge and was so pleased with the result. Finished off with edible glitter (that sadly doesn't really show in the photo) he looked quite magical! My nephew asked why had I bought him a cake from a shop - which I took as a compliment!
He doesn't only look magical, he looks very friendly too.
ReplyDeleteLol, that is a fantastic compliment !
That is great fun.
ReplyDeleteTell me Hannah - where do you get edible glitter from. I like to decorate fairy cakes and I see Konditor and Cook are always using this glitter...
Oh I love Konditor and Cook. You can get edible glitter from www.fairyproducts.co.uk - £2 a pot if you buy two which is the cheapest I have found it on line. I used disco hologram which is the really sparkly one although am sorely tempted to buy all of the colours as a girl can never own too much glitter!
ReplyDeleteSorry should have said www.fairygoodies.co.uk
ReplyDeleteYou can just see the glitter barely, but it's there. I think it's a gorgeous cake. I wish my grandsons lived close enough so that I could do something like this for them. Thanks for the link! You are completely right when you say a gal can't have too much glitter and bling! Cake bling that is!
ReplyDeleteThis cake looks sooo great Hannah, I bet your nephew 'whooped' for joy when his little eyes saw it, he's a lucky little boy - to have such a talented Auntie.
ReplyDeleteHow did you attatch the edible glitter Hannah?
ReplyDeleteI'm just about to decorate a cake using it, and I'm a bit confused, water? edible glue? sugar syrup?
Great cake by the way!
I just sprinkle the edible glitter over the cake - just like a dusting - so it isn't attached as such.
ReplyDeleteAh :)
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for replying,that helps a lot(I was worrying about it!).
