Icing was more like modeling chocolate. It was not spreadable, and I had to MOLD IT ON BY HAND. I have no idea what I did to eff it up! I made a full batch, when I typically make a half batch. Perhaps that was it. But, in the spirit of Tim Gunn, I "made it work."
These are my first gum paste babies. I made a simple flower and center, and simple leaves for my maiden voyage. Gum paste dries fast, folks, so work fast, or place the extra under a glass to keep it moist! Cake decorators make it look so easy.
Happy Birthday, Sonya!!!
