Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows- Week 14

The week that we'd all been waiting for- Gingerbread and Festive Cake decorating. To explain- we got to make a gingerbread house and decorate it any way we liked, and in the same light, create a cake with any design we liked, providing that the cake was round.

Let me take you on the journey.

Constructed.

Decorated. 

Roof and chimney.

Out the back. 

The other creation of the week was decorating our fruit cake that we made way back when. To begin the process, we plugged up any holes that had appeared from sinking fruit, and then covered it with a thin layer of marzipan. Next up was a layer of ready-to-roll icing. 

My blank canvas.

Next came some royal icing piping, and a bow.

 All wrapped up.

Marzipan Macarons.

To finish it off, some gold and a label.

And a handy link so you can all be inspired, just as I was.
