madrobinsTonight we got to work with Royal Icing: it's a thick, meringue-y icing that dries hard--not great for all-over cake decorations, but good for pictures that you put on top of cakes, and things like butterflies or escutcheons or things like that. Heraldic crests! Police badges! Superheroes! Or, in the case of tonight's class, zodiacal signs. You can do this with any outlined pattern: take a picture from a coloring book, lie some cellophane over it, and pipe the outline in Royal Icing, then dilute the icing until it flows and pipe that in around the outline. This ain't terrible for a first time, but it's not a thing of delicacy and beauty. Maybe next time.
Next week is the last class of the intermediate course. It's tiered cakes. I have to design a multi-tiered cake and decide what I want to put on it--escutcheons, flowers, butterflies... you name it. Or I will, and will report back.
Already thinking about the advanced class.
