This crazy Irish sunshine is absolutely incredible. 30
degrees today, did the Irish ever even think this possible?! Sunbathing at lunch time, ice-creams everyday
and an acceptable ‘get out’ clause on all mundane chores which need to be done
because ‘ah sure the sun is shining better get out in it before the rain comes’.
In light of all this new found heat, this evenings cake is a somewhat welcome
reminder of the chill factor! Molly’s Mam, my future mother in law’s birthday
was at the weekend and to celebrate I put together this ‘frosty’ lemon drizzle
cake.
Although I used a basic lemon drizzle cake recipe (recipe to
follow in the coming days) this cake could of course be made with any type of
delicious centre. I used Tesco white roll out fondant icing to cover the main
cake, using a wheel tool to add the ice cube detail on the sides.
The penguins are also made of solid fondant icing, using a
combination of black white and yellow to form the bodies, with some striking
orange to build the legs and feet. All
the coloured fondant was coloured by hand (using Wilton gel food colourings)
with the exception of the black which I always buy pre-coloured. I created the couch using fondant shaped into rectangles,
and again using the wheel tool to add the little details which make it look a
little more realistic.
E-D’s Notes
When it comes to sugar craft and creating memorable cake toppers,
often opting to put a character of animal sitting down cuts out a lot of heart
ache. You don’t need to be quite as accurate with proportions and size as a sitting figure hides a multitude! If your figure is sitting it also means you
don’t have to worry about how to support your figure in a standing position.
