I am envious of anyone who lives in America! Cake decorating supplies there seem to be at a level way beyond what we have here in the UK. With cake decorating, I often find that all you need is the perfect decoration to transform a
very plain cake into something very special. I have recently discovered Fancy Flours
website and their products are just STUNNING (I am not on commission honest but this is just the nicest cake decorating website I have seen in a long time). Postage to the UK is a lot but luckily with my brother in New York I was able to send the items to him to forward on to me. My parcel arrived the other day and these were just a few of the delights - Rainbow candies, Edible coloured paper seed packets and birthdays cakes,
cupcake wrappers (I just love this idea!!!). Everything wrapped in lovely brown and white stripy tissue paper! So nice. I also took delivery of edible clear gel that can be used to decorate the wafer paper pictures with edible glitter to give a 3-D effect. I can't wait to try these all out soon! Since placing my order the site now has Barley Sugar birds - so I am just itching to place another order - it is a good job my brother is coming to the UK soon!

Hi Hannah--wow, I am a historian doing research on 19th c. seeds and gardening, so I really loved seeing the decorative seed packets for cake! Now I can do 'research' while I am baking! I must order some!
ReplyDeleteThanks!! Marina
Wow! Don't forget to post the photographs of those cakes!
ReplyDeleteI fully agree with you that America is way beyond in cake supplies than here in the U.K.
ReplyDeleteI wish we could get hold of PB chips - mint chips, just to name two items on my every growing long list.
Wow how cool are those rainbows! I love them. Do you know anywhere which does do pretty cake decorations in London? I'm hoping to make pretty cupcakes for my birthday. Perhaps I should just add some funky rainbows like yours to my wishlist ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the cake decorations, so beautiful!Haven´t come across any myself apart from the usual in the supermarkets in the US. At least the UK has more to offer than Spain in the cake decorating dept!
ReplyDeleteThanks Hannah for recipe.. :-)
