YAY!! not a bad attempt Jan but I agree you need to practise a bit more. Get yourself a turntable or borrow a lazy susan one of those spinny things roll your icing thicker, the thicker it is the better chance you will have of making a good job. Also after you filled your layers form a long sugarpaste sausage and push into the cuts smoothing on the outside of the cake, this will stop the cream bulging out and making your icing look untidy. To smooth everything break a big lump of sugarpaste in your palm rub on your work surface in some icing sugar to flatten it then rub gently over the cake this will smooth it out really really well, keep adding icing sugar if it starts to resist. Hope this helps

Hi thanks, it tasted amazing so more pleased about that , it's only family and friends so not too fussed about it looking shop made I have few months left to make it less bumpy but as I said I was too busy and harassed to take the time needed to make it smoother.

All round I was pleased it looks bumpier in the picture and not a crumb left lol

Going for a run tonight to clear my head so looking forward to that ....

NOT lol

Tadaaaaa!!!! Lol little bit bumpy but it was my first attempt and my tasters said it tastes delish!! So at least it's edible I have few months to perfect my smoothing skills.

To be fair I probably could have got it smoother but I lost the will to live at the end running about getting messages, visiting the wrinkles so that's my excuse lol

Xx

mmmmm cake!!!!

It looks divine!!

 

[jan9209]
