Royal Icing Diploma Week 1

This was my first day of the royal icing diploma done intensively over 5 days.

We had to bring  a round and a square cake with us.  We started by marzipanning both cakes. This was done differently to sugarpaste in that we covered the sides then the top to ensure a sharp finish.

We then practiced royal icing a square and round dummy using the different scrapers. This was quite tough to get a smooth line.

 Due to snow we didn’t get time to pipe but I’m looking forward to that next week.
