Thank you Meera, Anne and Mandy, I have been working with royal icing for 32 years now!!!  I feel very privaleged to have the most wonderful pastry chef when I was 19.

I have seen many changes in the world of cake making. When I first started the whole cake was covered in royal icing and to get it straight was a nightmare. I first made my own sugar paste  (an Australian recipe  I think) about 20 years ago because you couldn't buy it in the uk!!!!! anywhere. I haven't looked back since and still make my own paste.

Good luck on your mission Mandy.

This is just absolutely beautiful!  I am now on a mission to perfect my use of royal icing and hope to someday be able to do something as wow as this - thank you for the inspiration.  Like I said - you are a very talented cake artist :-)

Thanks everyone, Anne and Meera, yep, all free hand, I googled 'henna designs' and drew some on paper, played around with it a bit until I was happy with the design and then copied it onto the cake. no template, honest ;)

Truly beautiful!  I love the designs, and yes did you free hand it? If so, did you still have a template that you put on the cake to work with?  Would love to know!
