Attention seeking

Cheers. I was going to make the stripes in separate batches. One blue, one white, and then lay them on the cake separately. Hopefully that should stop any colour bleeding.

Yep never paint food colouring straight onto ready to roll - it'll bleed continually...

There really isn't a quick way around it using ready to roll instead of kneading up batches of colour first...you can dampen the icing with a light spray of water and sprinkle on colour dust, but thats pretty tricky too as it can bleed as well, but does make a nice different style if you're practiced at it...

Wow you two put me to shame.










I usually do the white stripes with Tippex.

I'm not sure how safe tippex is on a cake. Isn't it toxic?

Christ you're easy, been a while between drinks at the fountain of flesh my dear?

A long while.

No, not if you mix it with white dog poo first. Neutralises it.

I'm impressed your tippex is still liquid - mine dried up many years ago on the account of no-use (my tippex that is..)

I may be guessing here, but I am not sure she was being serious!

Oh. I think I'm a bit gullible sometimes.
