Colouring
Various colours can be added to the icing to achieve a theme or
enhance the appearance of the cake
Colours come in gels, paste, liquid (not for buttercream), powder
or pre made fondants
Some paste and gel colours contain glycerine, so avoid using with royal icing as it will not set hard
When mixing powders it is a good idea to prepare a couple of days
before hand to ensure there are no colour changes as they can be
quite strong and if possible avoid purple as it is unstable and can fade.
Oil based colours are suitable for chocolate
Flower Moulding Paste 250gm
A hard setting paste ideal for moulding petals and flower
modelling
Modelling Mix 500gm
A hard setting paste for plaques, cards and structural work
Albumen Powder
Powdered egg white used for making Royal icing
Cake dowels and pillars
These are used to support tiered cakes, the pillars are hollow to
allow the dowel to pass through and support the next layer
Cutters
Various shapes in metal and plastic. Can be used with moulding
paste and plastic icing to produce flowers and themes for your
cake
