I know there a few people on here who can give me some advice, im making a 6inch top tier cake in chocolate with ganache in the middle, can i use it fir the crumb coat?( would it show through the white fondant) or do i just put it in the middle and keep to buttercream for the crumb coat? I need an answer by wed if poss from anyone.

Your campervan is so cute, Nannycook - so neat and precise Envy

It's really annoying when you forget to take photos - I have a few bags I have done that with (winter I bake, summer I sew...) but the one I have just finished is not going anywhere without pictures because I am so damned pleased with it - only it got so grubby and sweaty in the making that I had to wash it, and it is still drying... (sometimes I wish I could do that with finished cakes, just to smarten them up Grin)

I love that bag! You should sell them stealth

As with all these things, Mike, cakes included, of I were to price them based on how long they take, no one would buy them Sad. Actually, that's not true of all the bags that I make, bit definitely of that one (I got a little carried away Wink)

i agree if we charged for all the time spent making our cakes they'd cost a fortune, no one would buy them .

Thanks to inspiration from you guys I bought myself an easy icing book so now I can practice icing my very own cakes from dinosaurs to pony stables and 48 other designs in between!

Hoping that once I get a feel for it I'll be able to improvise my own. I've got the icing tools sitting in my amazon basket waiting for payday.
