Back in Oct 2009, I made a birthday cake for a very adorable little girl (she was & is still my favourite as she has long curly hair, so pretty like a little princess....). It was a fruit cake baked by myself.
I made some sugar frangipani & butterflies as decorations on the cake. The butterflies were made using the help of patchwork cutter & I painted some colour on the top. Not perfect, as it was my very first time to use those cutters.
The cake was iced perfectly; however, when I used the butterfly patchwork cutter to get the pattern imprinted on the cake, the shape of the cake went funny.... :-O. I was told to put the pattern on while the icing was still soft.... but when I pressed the cutter onto the cake, the perfect icing was ruined.... Until now, I've no idea why it went like that, perhaps I pressed it too much?? But if I didn't press the cutter hard enough, the patterns wouldn't show up clearly on the icing... anyway, weird. Since then, I haven't got another chance to try using patchwork cutter again.
