So, I made this blog to post my "doings" of over the summer to keep me entertained and track of my stuff. Also so I can practice since I won't be taking any classes over the summer.
I found this tutorial on how to to gum paste train cake topper that I wanted to give it a try. Also since my lovely,almost 2 year old, spoiled nephew birthday theme is Thomas the Train.
I've worked with gum paste briefly in my cake decorating class, but it was safe to save it was my actual first time since the Chief didn't really teach us much.
I didn't make myself a batch of gum paste. I actually bought the ready to use one from michael since you have to make it a day in advance, according to the recipe my Chief gave us. this took me about 2 hours to make, which it quite a lot for the size it is. It was pretty easy working with gum paste, especially in comparison to fondant.
