Another way of strengthening normal royal icing is with good old gum trag or tylo.

Nauseen I've put on my pink tablecloth cake again as it was finished with drop line work. If you're doing the one on couturecakes (looks lovely), remember it's done with the cake upside down. I used to practice this with a dummy on top of a pringle tube and doing the drop lines round the outside of the dummy. Leave until set and turn up the right way. You can make fabulous tiara-type cake toppers using this technique simply by piping a second row of loops between the first ones, then a third row and so on - particularly if you make the rows with different coloured icing. Hope that makes sense. In the meantime, Orchard Products book 8 page 31 have some examples of drop line extension work - I'll try and get it scanned at work tomorrow. Marjorie  Marjorie |
