Today was another busy day in Melissa's Kitchen.  I have been working on decorations for 3 different cakes  I have made the champagne bottle for the 18th birthday cake, all I need to do now is put gold sugar paste around the top of the bottle to make the foil, and then it's finished.  I also cut out individual strands of icing to make the mane on a horse cake. I have also attempted to make sugar tulips, these did not work so well because the icing was too soft, I'll try again tomorrow and make some thicker icing, the technique is simple to do but the icing does need to be quite strong.  April is proving to be a busy month for Melissa's Kitchen, so far I have 4 cake orders in (the cake decorations I'm working on now) and I also have a marmalade order.
