Cake School

My brother enrolled me on a cake decorating course at the local college for a Christmas present so I've been doing that every Thursday evening for the last few weeks.

There's been two practical sessions so far as the first week was an induction session, and here's the results of my labours:

Buttercream icing and piping.

Marzipan covering and modeling. This one got a bit bashed up on the back of my bike when I hit a couple of potholes so the penguins have a bit of a flat head. I might need to rethink my Friday morning transport arrangements...

Incidentally, did you know that marzipan has the same consistency and smell as Semtex? (see http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4161/is_/ai_n14530173)
