Thank you Anne, I was taught in RI, infact I used to ice the whole cake in RI!!!!!!!!!!!!! that was much harder then covering cakes in fondant, that was 30 years ago.  I started making my own fondant 20 years ago and never looked back, but I must say alot of cake decorators shy away from piping in RI, which is very sad as it is so versitile.

Your piping is just awesome, I am terrified of RI.

Thanks for the tip. I haven't used royal icing much so I'll remember that. This is a beautiful job. I will definitely try this method.

Hi Veronica, yes it is, This is quite a stiff mix, not too stiff that you get hand ache when squeezing your piping bag (this should never happen), When I teach royal icing techniques it's very important to mix royal icing on the slowest speed on your mixer, never rush a royalicing mix, if you do you will have air bubbles and when piping the above detail or similar thats when the icing will break off due to the air bubbles. Hope you give it a go.

Is this royal icing? How did you get it to hang without falling off.

I wouldn't mind at all Rosemary. infact I'd be honoured.

What is the OSSAS? And you'll have to let me know how you get on.

I need the pearls for this cake actually, this is a dummy and the one I'm doing in a few weeks is a real cake!!!!!!!!!!!. I'm having to get there very early in the morning and assemble and ice it on site. (in a marque) I am hoping it's not too hot. 

Wish me luck , I think I'm going to need every little ounce of luck!!! and good luck with your cake

Ann, I absolutely adore this border. I've been looking for something just like this for a OSSAS entry I am doing. Your design would be perfect and formal balance appeals to my OCD! Would you mind if I used your design?
