We then experimented painting our runouts (I did butterflies), we used metallic paints and paint made with paste colours and rejuventator spirit for the swan.
When the collar was dry we lifted it carefully off the cellaphane using a tiny palette knife. Mine came of without breaking which was a relief!
The collar was secured to the cake with royal icing as it is very important the cake is level or the collar doesn't stick.
Once secured we used our piping tubes to make side designs. I chose branches with leaves and flowers and has time to paint them with metallic paint.
Finally we made some lace designs for use next week. This was done using soft peak royal icing with a small amount of gum tragacanth to make it stronger. After a while this made it difficult to pipe with. I also made some butterflies and painted them for next week.
