[@theresaparnell3977]

Thank you so much, going to try your design on one of my cakes. Was very impressed. What do you call the thingy you used to flatten the marzipan and the icing and make them smooth? Many thanks. 💐💐💐

[@cavellwalton2476]

Hi Katie, the video was brilliant thank you. I have seen those glitter sprays in B&M in gold as wèll. Im just baking my cakes now so was looking for ideas to decorate them. I would have liked to see the sides of the square cake as well. X

[@KatieHomeCook]

Thanks so much! I don’t make many square cakes but I’ll see what I can do x

[@jasmine4347]

I was actually looking at these snowflake cutters on amazon wondering if they were any good i will now go and buy some :)

[@KatieHomeCook]

Fab!!! 👏

[@lindaforrester464]

Hi there I made a christmas cake and for the decoration I made a wreath out of these cutters I started with the large one then the medium one and the smaller ones over lapping as you went round then a bow from ribbon I was quiet pleased with it then I gave it to a frend for Christmas a good little investment

[@KatieHomeCook]

@@lindaforrester464 sounds lovely c

[@lindaforrester464]

@@KatieHomeCook thank you I loved the way you decorated the snowflake cake simple cutters but as you said you can go mad why not and the tin as a guide line for the top in marzipan and the fondant great idear I will watch your clips hope you have a great Christmas and keep safe katie

@@lindaforrester464 thanks so much! You too xxx

[@carlarountree]

hi katie great job , how do you get your frosting so smooth

[@KatieHomeCook]

It’s fondant… so it comes pretty smooth 😊

[@charliegreenway9760]

Hi Katie, thank you for a fab decorating idea that I can do with my daughter 🤞. Can I ask, did you leave fruitcake showing at the sides where you did the snowdrift effect icing? Many thanks.

[@KatieHomeCook]

Hi! Thanks so much! Yes I leave the sides uncovered... I decorate my cake just a few week before Christmas x

[@geminil2415]

I dodn't quite catch what kind of fondant you were using.

[@KatieHomeCook]

@@geminil2415 any will do… for something like this a supermarket brand will be fine

[@michellenorton2698]

Hi Katie, this is the first time I have ever done a fruit cake for Christmas, I have just a question to ask, can I use the jam to stick the ribbon onto the cake or do I have to use the glue, I have bought the snowflake plungers and will definitely be using them to decorate my cake love your cake turned out beautifully thank you 🙏🏻 for sharing

[@KatieHomeCook]

So glad you liked my cake... I’d love to see yours when it’s made... What ribbon are you adding and where? X

[@michellenorton2698]

@@KatieHomeCook I was going to add a satin ribbon just around the base

[@KatieHomeCook]

@@michellenorton2698 oh ok, personally I would add it then fix with with a pin, but if you use material it might soak up some of the grease x

[@michellenorton2698]

@@KatieHomeCook thank you 🙏🏻 so much for you help I will definitely take your advice on the pin 📍 ❤️

[@michellenorton2698]

@@KatieHomeCook I might also try and find some floristry ribbon and that might help with the grease will definitely take some photos for you of my first attempt hope it turns ❤️

[@geminil2415]

Katie, I can't catch the name of the fondant you have switched to.

[@KatieHomeCook]

It’s Massa Tacino, but I also like Couture 😊

[@trishsandoz4373]

How do you store the decorated cake to keep until Christmas?

[@KatieHomeCook]

I usually decorate mine a week or two before Christmas and keep it under a clean dome 😊

[@bowler8]

you need to leave the marzipan to dry before putting the icing on, or it will bleed through

[@KatieHomeCook]

I’ve never had that problem!! 😊 perhaps your icing is too thin?
