Hi everyone! Quick question… Does anyone have any recommendations for what brand to use for purchasing coloured dusts? What gauge florist wire should I use for modelling? (Sorry; I’ve realised that’s two questions 🤣) Thank you! X

A customer has booked in for this design at the end of September. I’m fairly confident with making the square cake itself, however, the thought of making the figures and standing lid is giving me a lot of anxiety. I’m going to study the videos on making the Toy Story figures which should be a massive help, but where on earth do I start with assembling the lid so it stays upright and secure? I’d appreciate any advice, tips or suggestions as this is by far my most complicated bake. Also, what size board would you recommend for this cake to sit on? I have been told she wants the cake rather large and I do have a very big square cake tin which I’ll attach to the this post (it’s bigger than A4 size); I was thinking of doing three layers? Again, thank you for any help, it will be very warmly received 😌☺️ Xx

Ok can you use buttercream for crumbing and then put gauche on top for the finish? OR Do you just use gauche for both crumbing and finish without any buttercream except in the middle of the cake. I am confusing myself!! Does not take much 😂

Is it this month that the little boy/footballer is released?

I am doing my good friend’s 70th birthday cake. Her birthday flowers are Asters. So if I do a ball with stamen in the middle. How would you do the petals? Do they all go on wire or something else. Please advise me how best.
