Today I put the Regalice Icing on the Christmas Cake. So far so good. It was a lot easier to do than I thought. Getting a smooth finished took a little time, but with it being my first time I don't think I did too bad.
Next came the decorating. I bought some green Regalice and a pack of white. I needed yellow and black colours as well but the shop I use doesn't stock a great supply of colours unfortunately. I was left with having to colour the Regalice myself. I did the yellow first by adding some yellow food colouring to half the white. All went well with that and I placed it in a food bag to keep it soft.
The black however required a lot of food colouring and went very sticky. I tried adding icing sugar like the Internet said I should but this didn't seem to make much difference. At this point I decided to put the black to one side and let it dry out a little in the open air while I started on the cake.
To begin with I took the green Regalice and split it into four different sized balls. I then took each ball and rolled them into cone shapes. Once done I took my scissors and snipped into the icing trying to make each of the four cones look like Christmas Trees. It worked in a fashion but still looked better than plastic trees so I ain't complaining.
Next came the Penguin I wanted to do but gave up because the black Regalice I coloured was way too sticky. I had no option but to use the plastic Xmas cake decorations Lel had gotten for me. Still the end product didn't turn out to bad =].
