- choclate and Strawberry cupcakes with Rice paper butterflies and pink hearts
A friend kindly asked me to do cakes for her fortieth, so I had my first attempts at fondant icing, with help from Youtube (GREAT resource).
The cake came out wobblier than I’d hoped, mostly due to oven trouble, hence lateness. But an overall good impression.
Sadly, a small niece poked it, I was told, so it didn’t make the big night

Children poking cakes just cracks me up. I remember being a little boy sticking my finger in the icing of a pristine new cake my mother had baked.

I don’t know what size they are, they’re just the biggest star tip and open one.
I need to get my nozzle vocab down!
