Right so now came the one! this is the one that sparked everything off! i decided to really go for something different for my friend jennys cake!
she's such a girly girl..she loves pink, she loves bright and she loves disco! so there was only one type of cake i could make! a sparkly disco diva cake! i knew it still had to be simple because i was not great and knew NOTHING! but i wanted it to have wow factor!! i browsed through hundreds of pics on google image and knew that when i saw this one http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/2736583670059975774cpZdqS
i had to come up with my own version! i didnt have a star pan so just rounded off the corners on a square cake! i wanted that bright pink and stupidly..(as i knew no better!) bought a liquid pink food colour! this is a no no..please note...DO NOT USE PINK LIQUID FOOD COLOUR! it gets every where..and its messy..very very messy!! however finally i had a colour i liked (which was also the colour of my hands, arms, ears..dont ask!) i got phill to trace a pic of disco dudes and then by hand cut out the pic in black flower paste. this was the first time i had used flower paste and unsuprisingly had no idea how to use it! i didnt knead it enough..i didnt roll it out enough and an hour later i had my people!! i learnt alot on this cake!
- first..dont use liquid colour..use colour pastes or dusts
- second..knead flower paste well and use trex to grease your hands up!
- third...you can never have enough silver balls with kids around!
Any way the result was this..and if im honest i loved it! and so did jenny(i think!..i hope!) and we loved eating it while sipping sex on the beach cocktails!!!
