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 fantastic and I want to know if the 'rolled icing' you used is the same stuff as 'white icing' that you buy in the supermarket. I wants to get me some!

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.
Thanks for the tip re: dusting powder Surfergirl!

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!
