I need to decorate a cake - there is another thread on this. It seems I am out of time to buy one from M&S, or indeed anywhere else, sadly. My Leiths bible suggests that sugar paste icing is simple and easy to mould. Would that be true? I am not too worried about anything apart from the cake being smooth on top.
Delia suggests smoothing the icing with a ruler when making a christmas cake, but she does that with royal icing. Leiths seem to think one would need to have a couple of dummy runs with royal icing before presenting anything which might actually look half decent, and I do not think I am that motivated for this particular cake. I've never done royal icing before. Do you think the ruler trick would work with sugar paste icing?
