Dolly Varden Cake Part 2

Here is the cake with the doll inside of it....waiting to be iced.

I made my own fondant icing using the following recipe:

2 egg whites
1 kg icing sugar
3 tablespoons of glucose.

Combine the egg whites and glucose in a bowl. Start mixing in the icing sugar until it becomes to hard to stir. Turn this onto a bench dusted with cornflour and continue to knead in the rest of the icing sugar.

Let me tell you - you will want to have eaten your Wheaties that morning. it take a long time and is hard yakka but worth the effort.

i then divided mine and coloured them by kneading in food dye. I made some yellow and some pink.

I used a mixture of jam and water mixed together to make a syrupy liquid as the "glue".

And here is what I ended up with....




I love it - I am sooo happy with it and whilst it was fiddly it is so worth it.

Happy Birthday my darling girl.
