BAKING PROJECT

Last night after watching ‘Return to River Cottage’ (I love that show!) I took out my fondant and started making this cute little make-ups. Actually, I followed the design from a book called ‘Perfect Party Cakes made easy’ by Carol Deacon. Making these little things will require your full concentration, sometimes I like doing it coz time really flies without me noticing it.

I left that to harden a bit overnight and this morning, attempted to make the make-up bag. For this I’m just using my cylindrical pot (to replace the actual cake, I didn’t bake any). First, roll the colored fondant, make some crisscross lines, and then wrap it around the cake.

At this stage, it looks like a total mess and I was confident this project is doom ! Quite difficult actually to wrap the whole thing, the fondant keeps breaking at some places. Anyway, somehow I did it..then I trim the upper part of the bag with my tiny knife.

Once all looks alright, make a few small balls and tuck it against the side of the bag, so it doesn’t collapse. (Oh yes, before that, remember to put a layer of black fondant on the base of the cake in the bag). Then start arranging the make-ups. Make some strings, twist it and attached to the bag.

Boleh la ye.. alright, signing off now. Have a good day ahead .
