Sugarpaste is a staple of cake decorating. Used both for covering the cake and making decorations for putting on the cake. White as standard, easily coloured, and dries hard enough to be resilient without being too hard to eat.


Royal icing is the hard, white icing you'll see piped into beautiful curls and shells on a wedding cake. It can also be plastered onto a cake to provide a solid base. This does take more skill than using sugarpaste, but gives you a rock hard surface to work on. When set, hard royal icing allows you to make the most delicate decorations for your cakes.


Japanese cheese cake is a beautiful cross between a baked cheesecake and a normal sponge. It's light, moist and simply delicious.
