The fourth card of amazing & wonderful things

Elevate your cakes to new heights using these invaluable techniques/ recipes.  Almost every cake you make will benefit from one or more of these.

• The crackle technique - this is a very pretty, effective way of adding texture and colour to your cakes.  Perfect for icing boards (drums), for making cupcake toppers or decorations such as cut out shapes or a bow.  Clear step by step instructions with plenty of colour pictures.
• Seaweed - this includes how to make a two-tone paste perfect not only for seaweed but also streamers/ banners, curling ribbons and more
• Woodgrain - instructions for using a texture mat and also modelling tools.  Use for cupcake toppers, a novelty cake such as a shed - or make an edible tabletop to adorn with realistic favourite food & drink items (see the second card of amazing & wonderful things)
• Snow/ snow scenes - an array of different ideas which could be used individuallly or combined for greater effect.  Includes making snow balls.  Ideal not just at Christmas but also for skiing cakes
• Fluffy clouds - two different techniques.  Perfect as an extra detail on so many cakes for children and adults.
• Rice paper sails - beautiful and perfect as an abstract decoration, these add height, interest and a different dimension - or use them as an integral part of a design; flames for a bonfire cake, waves in a sea-themed cake or faiy wings for example.

Everything is explained step by step with lots of colour pictures.  Be inspired!
