Pathway Slice

Moving away from cakes this is a chocolate carrot cake with cream cheese icing. The design is a tribute to a recent project ending and represents a key diagram we produced. The colours are muted (as with the real diagram) but that means the icing-writing isn't very visible. Lesson learned - homage shouldn't be slavish. But loving working with royal icing - piping if you will. I want to be like Mary Smith - Ace of Cakes!

 

Plus: discovered that Aussie has Icing sugar - which is easy to clumping and icing mixture. The sugar is less sweet but clumpy. The icing mixture is soft but too sweet and dense (see previous cake comments).

 

Shout out to bubble writing at the bottom right. Apparently there are two types - keeping it real and fancy (i.e. with the ._ reflections)
