Hi,
So I am doing a tambourine cake, the tambourine being very similar to the one in the picture. I am having trouble with how I am going to stick the jingles (the little metal disks that make the sounds) around the edge of the cake. I plan on making these out of gumpaste (and removing before serving). I think I am going to make them a crescent shape so the inner edge fits flush with the outside of the 10" cake.
But, what do you think would be the best way to stick them on? I wonder if just regular gum glue...but I would need to support them somehow till the glue dries. If I put toothpicks under them I am going to end up with little holes all the way around the cake in the fondant!
Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance.
Man I didn't even think about putting the toothpicks IN the jingle. Thankyou!! And no, I don't care about the holes when its being served, but I didn't want them there while it's on display.
I'll post pics if it turns out any good, and if not it will go in the cake disaster section. I have to travel with the cake (stacked on a 12" round chocolate cake base) for 6 hours in the car, in Spain, this weekend, in 40ºC heat. Will have to jack the AC up and freeze on the journey.
Thanks again Doug.
