hi all this is my first post hope its in the right place ha ha

I have deorated a few cake but im doing this one for a family member for there 21st birthday and i am stuggling with what she wants its really just the line do i cover the cake first with sugarpaste then put the cut out lines on top or do them straight onto the cake, i hope this makes sense im cconusing myself ha ha [/img]

many thanks Lyndsey

Lyndsey, make it as easy for you as you can. Cover both cakes in the white/cream sugarpaste, cut the colored strips and put it on the bottom tier. Make the colored strips quite thin and nobody will see the difference in height.
Remember, nobody will inspect the cake as closely as you. Most people will look at it from some distance and won't notice such details.

There is a tutorial somewhere. Hopefully someone will chime in and post the link.

Thank you so much for your help im going to have a practices before i do it for real thanks again xxx

I cant thank you enough thank you

comma's and period's, that's all I hafta say

i was not aware this was a site to have perfect english writing. petty!!!!

I have not started them yet ive got a 30th cake for a friend and a christening cake for my nephew for this weekend, so if i survive that il have a practice on monday ha ha

Thanks for asking

Yep, that's the link I was going to post. Great tutorial. I think what cakeroach meant by "commas and periods..." is that it's kinda hard to read sentences without them. I had to go back and re-read your post a couple of times as well. No worries though and welcome to CC!!
Happy caking!

Just strolling through with a bump. Thanks

Thank you all for taking the time to read my post, i sort of new what she ment it was just the it was said, i hsve dyslexia and thought this would be the last place i was judged it took me a while to come on the site
oh well thanks for welcoming me and for all your help

Don't forget to post a pic of your cake when you're done!! It looks like a fun one to do! (okay, see?? I just had to go back and correct several of MY typing errors ) It happens to the best of us...

Any updates on how your cakes went linzimh?
We'd love to see photos.

And as a teacher, I'd like to say well done for putting yourself out there in such a public way.

Welcome to CC.

Howz the cake comming? And I second emcm51. I typo all the time. My brain can spell most of the time, but my fingers don't always listen.

Any one that is going to make an issue out of typoes just has their nose in the air trying not to smell their own stink. Pish-posh! Ain't none of us in here perfect!
