Would you do red, white & blue swirls round the bottom of a cake?

[KatyMac]

Or would you do red, white, blue & white swirls?

& what do I do on the top? I have limited icing experience and a cake to be auctioned by DD's dance school tomorrow

Anyone?

Id do red white blue white - because it would look nicer?

Not that Im an expert - I dont do swirls...........

I bake cakes and use a slap the icing on the top approach :o

red white blue white red white blue white....

I would do white icing around with union flag on top and blend the join with the corelating coloured swirls.

Cutting the flag out of ready roll?

I wondered about a yellow/gold crown too?

I'm fairly good with playdough

I used to be able to do swirls - well sort of mini waves maybe

ThreadWatcher I prefer a light dusting of icing sugar it's less likely to go wrong

I like the crown rather than the flag actually. or smaller crowns around the side, but i wouldnt overdo it with too much detail

i wouldnt overdo it with too much detail I like that idea!

I have a ballet/dancing one to do too

Any ideas for that?

i like the shape of the crowns on the biscuits on the homepage of MN I copied the shap of those crowns to paint on dds face for school on friday.

They are lovely (can't find the recipe tho')

It look amateur - bugger
