OMG it looks fab. I had a giant cupcake baking tin delivered today ready for Sunday. I cant wait to try it out tomorrow hope I can decorate it as well as you have yours!

it must be a good photo cause it wasnt great! lol.. but if i can manage to roll it out without cracking, you can do!
my book said to roll the icing to 1 and half inchs thick, but personally i thought this was far to much and did mine at 1 inch.. maybe even less. x

This is such a good thing to do Fern. I'm a firm believer in having your real cake and eating it. None of this splenda stuff!!

You can eat 10 of these babies!!

1.5 inches thick? Blimey! Half an inch is fine, about quarter of an inch is better, and usually standard. That will get easier with practise though!

I think it looks fab! When you start out the key is to keep it simple, when you start going overboard it can look cluttered. if you ever think 'should I just add...?' the answer is no, always no!!!

It's a great hobby, looks like you have a natural talent!

(oh and piping isn't the be all and end all - I've been doing it for a few years and I just suck at piping! there's always ways round it )

Looking forward to seeing more pics as they come!!
