No worries Emma - also another thing - if you are wanting to tint the white stuff it is best to use what is called colour gels - you buy them from specialist cake shops, they don't change the consistency of the icing - (disaster - too much colour = sloppy icing) or morph into the 'wrong' colour - (if you use food colouring you cannot get red, instead you get pink). They can be pricey, but if you use them often (and think of the number of birthdays you have coming up, in say, the next 20 years)...it's not that bad!]]> Thu, 11 Oct 2007 19:26:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11441&PID=228111&title=does-this-look-ok#228111 <![CDATA[Does this look OK? : that looks cool Emma!! ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11441&PID=228110&title=does-this-look-ok#228110 Author: lizzle

Yep, you can buy it in the supermarket, and you can buy it in chocolate, white or almond, and you can tint the white or almond with food coloring.

Do you just buy rolled icing at the supermarket? Is it just white or chocolate and can you get coloured? I think this looks fantastic!

I make royal icing for my Xmas cakes, and wonder if I might try rolled icing this year, might be less time consuming!

Looks awesome Emma! You'd NEVER guess it was your first attempt.
Just for future reference, when you are using that kind of icing and have 'rolling dust' (cocoa for choc and icing sugar for white/cream) you just rub your hands over the cake gently (works better if your hands are warm) and the sugar in the icing slightly melts and absorbs the dust - it can take a few mins of rubbing. Sounds gross, but that's what the cake makers do! Just make sure you wash your hands I guess!! ]]> Thu, 11 Oct 2007 13:18:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11441&PID=227896&title=does-this-look-ok#227896 <![CDATA[Does this look OK? : You are very clever!

No the icing was really easy, I just kneaded it then rolled it out using a glass coz I don't have a rolling pin. It said to use cocoa powder to stop it sticking to the board but after it was finished you could still see bits of the cocoa powder so I brushed the whole thing with apricot jam melted in boiling water to even the color out and it also made the pebbles stick. Way easier that using the butter cream icing, and looks much better too.]]> Thu, 11 Oct 2007 11:06:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11441&PID=227805&title=does-this-look-ok#227805 <![CDATA[Does this look OK? : Do you want it taste tested too,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11441&PID=227804&title=does-this-look-ok#227804 Author: cuppatea

I've just made a 'test cake' of the cake I am making for the gremlins. I am making them one each and the cakes won't be chocolate, one will be pale pink and one will be lime, and the pebbles will all be the same color (green on the lime cake and pink on the pink cake). But does this look OK? I've never used ready to roll icing before so this is a practise run...
