Thanks Bashini I don't think I'll be making the gumpaste I just always thought that  flower paste and gumpaste were pretty much the same thing.

Nanny Love everything about the cake my partner said for you to make him one to and he doesn't even like fondant but loves star wars. 

AIf I manage to make my botties and maybe letteting for Sunday how do I store them please??

I usually just store stuff like that in a cardboard cake box or something similar not plastic containers though.

AThanks all, lovely comments.

Chasingmytail, your right I did do it in one go as took me so long to colour the icing I was afraid I'd run out, I dont normally, I used Renshaws SP, I used 1500grms, maybe abit more, got some left over, I surprised how well that actually went, hardly needed to smooth it over, was so happy with the finish, I did have a few creases but managed to smooth out with trex

Thanks Jean, think hubby likes it more!

Roxy, come on you can make that for him.

That is one big cake!!

ANanny do you mean board and cake covered together all in one go ie: no sp under cake ? Sorry if this sounds silly but just want to understand what you mean ??

I know Nanny he asks me all the time but says make it without fondant I want it all out of chocolate cake and ganache so I tell him to sod of and that I'm not wasting my time and money making it when he won't eat it. 

Plud I doubt if I did it would look as good as yours does Nanny.

AHa ha roxy you are funny! Of course yours would be the same, why wouldn't it be?

Yes this Time I covered it all in one go, for two reasons really, one obviously wasnt sure if I had enough coloured sp, ans secondly I wanted a continuation of space, if I did it in two then I would have had to cover the join which I didn't want to do,

ASorry I mean Jo,

ABarbara that cake is amazing!! Your Gandson is going to be one very happy chappy tomorrow. I'll have muscles to match yours tomorrow as I have to colour the paste for Oliver's cake and board. I decided not to play with the airbrush on his cake incase

AHope so Siany.

What colour are you doing? And what are you making?

AIt's going to be sky blue. It's got to cover a 10 inch and 14 inch board so going to need about 1.5kgs I think. I'm doing a minion avenger cake. I've been making the minions the last couple of nights. Got to finish Thor and iron man tonight and I'm going to do 5-6 normal minions too. I really need to learn how to do the rkt thing but just didn't have time to practice this week so had to make the minions smaller because of the weight of them. Need more to fill the 10 inches now :)

I have just finished my rosary beads, I used the cross of my daughter's rosary beads and made a mould with old fondant and I have just sprayed it silver with my airbrush. I was surprised the fondant mould picked up so much of the detail on the cross, I will be using that trick again.

Siany the cakes sound great can't wait to see them.

AThats sounds interesting Siany

That is very clever foxy roxy.

Roxy, that rosary looks real!

Thanks Nanny and Petitecat, I watched this video on you tube after my silicone mould didn't set think it has past its use by date but fondant one worked great, had to break the mould though to get the cross out in one piece but if I ever need another I can Just make a new one 

ARoxylee well done they are great you are so talented !!

Siany like roxy said can't wait to see, I have just spent 20 mins fixing pic to be able print bootie template - told you nothing goes right for me - arghh don't know why I bother sometimes !!

AFirst one ???[IMG]http://cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3242300/width/200/height/400[/IMG]

AThanks Roxy, They have cracked in places and stitching really not perfect but quite pleased... [IMG]http://cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3242308/width/200/height/400[/IMG]

AAw Jo they are so nice, much much nicer than mine have to be honest.

AThanks Nanny, just doing letters and bow for top of booties. Need to find a box then to store them in, and pray they hold up !

AI'm sure they will, got plenty of time to dry.

I had trouble making a girl on wire in a leotard, jumping on a trampoline, why do I get all the sh...y ones, well apart from Ioan.

Well the second elsa doesnt look like shes on the hard stuff but still not quite right :( will try again tomorrow or give up and do her in clay instead 

Nanny I did olaf too and he was a breeze :)

AFinished finally !! Now to decide does bow go on bootie strap or on round curve ??!!

Ha ha Tiddy I'm sure you'll get there, I'm just going to pour so hard stuff now - phew ! [IMG]http://cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3242345/width/200/height/400[/IMG]
