Ornamental Icing

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut out pieces of cake in desired shapes and set aside.

  2. Cover the base with colored jelly using a spatula.

  3. Place the cut pieces on the jelly to hold them in place.

  4. Pipe and decorate the cake as desired, adding flowers or leaves on top.

  5. Alternatively, cut the base from a solid piece of cake, fill with cream, and cover with a thin layer of cake.

  6. Pipe cream in a pyramid shape on top and secure with icing.

  7. Cover the whole with jelly or leave plain, then decorate.
