Tracy, Thank you for your input on the rice crispy treats, I had no idea you and Alison were so far a way and it would never acure to me that RCT would be called somethng different. ? You asked me about how I got the cobble stone look on the cake. Yes, it is a mold I pressed into the fondant, than I hand rolled the fondant to make lots of extra "stones" to give it the demention. They also covered up where the mold left any lines ! ; )  Happy baking...

Hi Tracy,

Thank you for the Tesco suggestion, I'll get some after work (trying to diet though so will have to avoid eating them!). :0)

HI Alison,

a fellow UK-er here. If you don't know what a rice crispie treat should be like just have a look in Tesco and in the cereal aisle where the oat bars are you will find some in a bright blue pack made by Kellogs. Proper snap, crackle and pop ones :) This will give you an idea of the consistancy your home made version will need to be. It molds really easily. Can't wait to see your dragon.

Best wishes, Tracy

Genevieve, your cake is awesome ! Like you, I'm also new to this cake stuff and it's just a hobby. It's just too much fun.. Keep up the beautiful work and I'm looking forward to seeing all these new cakes you are all making...

thanx for the compliment too alison, if me can do why can't you right?, i am new to cake decorating too and not even a licensed one, it's just a hobby for me and a self taught coz i don't have enough time and money to take lessons with three young kids almost everything for me is very expensive LOL!, i just  always wait if one of family and friends got a special occassion and have chance to do cake, it will be another chance for me to learn more and get better :)

Genevieve, you're New year's Dragon cake is absolutely beautiful! I am sure mine will not be anywhere near as good as I do not have your artistic flair. Thankyou so much for sharing the picture with me, you have inspired me!

hi alison,

i hope this tip can help you, if you look at my tiered winter dragon new year' cake here, i made the head and feet in advance but not the body, i put the body which is made of rice krispies after i stacked my cake and then just covered it with impressioned cut-out in oval fondant. then attached the head and feet and backbone scale if you want, coz if you make the body in advance out fo fondant for sure it will dry up and harden and it might not fit into your cake and you will end up doing it again, so instead of spending time to do it again, just take your time doing it while your cake is already stacked and finished.
