Hi all!
I was asked at the last minute for a cake for this Friday... Ideally I'd like to make a biplane to sit atop a carved 8-10in or so cake (too look like the plane is climbing through the clouds). Since I don't have much time, does anyone have suggestions on how to go about creating the biplane? Since gumpaste drying time is an issue, I don't mind cheating a bit on using nonedible parts, i just want it to at least look edible.
Suggestions?
TIA
Here are some Google images........ I think I would use styrofoam for the wings, and probably sucker sticks for the supports.......

Hope this helps....... GOOD LUCK...... show us what you come up with.....
Well, I found this:

It is a very long page, so keep scrolling down to the plane. Of course, yours would be much smaller than that one.
I know nothing about pastillage, but there are recipes on the web.
