Lay your mat on a flat board as it will be easier to move to leave it somewhere to dry. When you are ready give the sugarveil a bit of a stir as it goes sort of “marshmallowy” once its been sitting.

These are a few of my new toys. The scales were an in expected Xmas present, I hadn’t even got around to looking for a new pair myself.

Bodice Tutorial

165 days ago by Callicious Cakes | 34 comments »

I have had some interest in “how to” on this cake, so here is a tutorial to help along the way.
