Sugar Paste Regalice Chocolate Flavoured 5KG

How was your Festive Season?

Now the cake's been eaten and there are smiles on everyone's faces....it's time to relax in your favourite comfy chair and dream up fantastic cake ideas for 2010.

Like any good Workman, Boy Scout or Girl Guide, Cake decorators should adhere to the motto "Be prepared".

Whilst you've time, and still in a tidying up mood, get out all your sugarcraft or Cake decorating equipment and make sure it's still all there, cleaned, sorted and ready to hand for the year ahead. There's nothing worse than come spring you open your draw or tool box and find red and green icing still clinging to your cutters and blocking up your icing tubes....

If you've been asked to create a Wedding cake for a Spring bride, then now is the time to check their design details...if you need to make Sugar flowers or Bride and Groom models then start them now whilst you're stuck indoors hiding from the weather...

Check your Edibles, colourings and flavourings, if they're out of date then you need to throw them away ...go on, empty right to the back of the kitchen cupboard, I bet there are things in there that are over five years old...If you don't like the thought of waste, then use them up now whilst you've time to practise your skills, but I wouldn't recommend eating any of them...

Tubes should pipe straight, Rolling pins be free of marks, smoothers smooth, Tins clean of any left over cake...etc..etc..

If there's something you always need to look for, find it now and put it somewhere ready to hand. Like a workshop, everything should have a home. Don't Just throw your equipment into a kitchen draw or tupaware container marked Sugarcraft/cake decorating.... make separate compartments or put things in resealable bags or small boxes with labels on them.

Make Life Easy, Knowledge is Power, if you know where your equipment is you'll not waste time looking for it....you'll have the time to decorate your cakes to the best of your ability...and enjoy the art of icing.

I hope the above advise is of use...

Here's to 2010!

Cheers!

Yours
