I simply bake the cake in rectangular pan (or square) and cut it with 3" cake ring or you can use cookie cutter too. Then, stack them, fill and frost with buttercream.

Unfortunately, I think it is the best icing for piping. buttercream will not have the same consistency. You won't feel like chewing a crunchy candy, it will melt once it's in your mouth. Plus, with RI, you won't have to worry that the decor would be ruin because someone accidentally touch it because it will be dry.Berthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17476612651848560216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912304086398265028.post-2761801496885740562010-04-07T17:41:27.828-07:002010-04-07T17:41:27.828-07:00Hi Bertha,

However, some website mentioned that it will dry hard? Is there a way to keep the icing stiff, but not completely hardened (so it won't be like chewing crunchy candy)? Do you have a preferred recipe for royal icing? Thanks so much! :)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16762975085509950850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912304086398265028.post-29667653756337061672010-04-07T13:26:52.018-07:002010-04-07T13:26:52.018-07:00Hi Christine: thanks! the best icing to use if you...Hi Christine: thanks! the best icing to use if you don't want to use fondant is royal icing. In fact, Peggy used royal icing to pipe her cake, but you will need a really steady hand to make it straight. That's why I preferred fondant :). But yeah, you can use RI and you can make it as thick or as thin as you like. let me know if you're not familiar with RI, then I can share what I know with you :)Berthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17476612651848560216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912304086398265028.post-69010934787866151912010-04-07T12:19:15.667-07:002010-04-07T12:19:15.667-07:00Hi!

I don't have time to knead and roll fondant, so I was wondering what kind of icing I can use to pipe the stripes. All of the icings I have made in the past come out too runny and would not hold its shape when piped. Do you have any icing recipes you can share with me?

It's not cheddar cheese, it's processed cheese that taste really creamy and slightly sweet. I guess it's a nostalgic thing :)Berthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17476612651848560216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912304086398265028.post-4270536333093496802010-03-09T07:14:34.897-08:002010-03-09T07:14:34.897-08:00It's very beautiful !!!It's very beautiful !!!Svetlanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03386218297396020160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912304086398265028.post-65658914639131214092010-03-09T04:28:47.830-08:002010-03-09T04:28:47.830-08:00I have difficuly with PP's work too.
