This tutorial shows you how to get the hand-painted leopard print look as seen here and in my cake photos. I’m sure I’m not the first or the only one to do it this way, but after being asked by several people for tips I decided to put my method in writing. Feel free to credit or link to any other tutorials on this subject.
This technique begins with a fondant covered cake. I first brush the cake with vodka to get rid of any excess cornstarch and to ensure a smooth and flawle...

In March I made my youngest daughter Jasmine, a very special little guy to sit on both her ‘at home’ family cake and then her special ‘party’ cake later in the week.
Elmo rules her world, or should I say MoMo! At the Christmas parade in our main street the only man in red she was interested in was Elmo, as you can imagine, Santa was devastated and I have heard he is seeking professional counselling :( However, I digress, so Elmo HAD to be on her birthday cake! Now those of you who are Mums...

This a tutorial on using a pasta maker to create perfect horizontal stripes on fondant or modeling chocolate.
1. Take your chosen base colour of fondant or modelling chocolate and pass it several times through the pasta maker set to its widest setting, until you have a nicely formed, regular shape band of fondant.
2. Take pieces of fondant in your chosen colours for the strips and press each of them into thin bands. It does not matter if they are not quite as long as the base band.

Crystallizing flowers will give your cakes that special touch all bakers long for – although it takes a little bit of work, the end result is well worth it. Here’s how:
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp. gelatin (Knox can be used, but it tends to lump)
6 Tbsp. Water at room temperature
Sprinkle the gelatin over water and mix right away – if bubbles form, skim them off the top. Allow mixture to rest for 2-3 minutes until it reaches a sponge-like consistency. Take hardened gelat...

First, you’ll need to gather your resources! So, rummage through your goodies and accumulate your loot! Here you go:
A clay extruder (we used the Makin’s Professional Clay Extruder) with the largest circle diskFondant in all of your favorite colors! Now, if you grab your trusty set of real crayons, take a look at them. Do you notice that those pesky wrappers are actually a different color than the crayon? Yeah, I sighed too. So–make sure when you grab your red fondant, take a b...

You will need
Silicone Spatula
Giant cupcake mould (silicone)
White Chocolate – 300gms
A fridge LOL
Colouring to your desired choice
A little patience
Firstly bake your Giant cupcake, allow to cool and set to one side.
I use a silicone mould for my giant cupcakes, I find them much more versatile than the metal tins and much easier.
I also dont use Candy melts because a few people say that they are far too sweet, I stick with White chocolate and providing tha...
