Welcome
to our Winter issue
It’s that time of year again when our thoughts start to turn to the Winter holiday seasons. The fun of Halloween that brightens up the dark nights and the anticipation of the wonder of Christmas always help to bring family and friends together. In this issue look out for the Toffee Apples and Marzipan Fruits plus if you really want to have fun in the kitchen then the Rock Sugar is simply amazing and full of surprises.

Scallop
Comb
This is sometimes known as the Smiley Face but is also great for a whole host of facial features simply emboss into the paste to create, mouths, eyebrows and ears.
Embossed textures Hold the modelling tool either at an angle or straight up and press down to emboss or draw lines in the paste.
Serrated Cone
Tapered Cone
Flower Centres
Hollow Cones
Mould a piece of paste into a ball or cone shape and holding the modelling tool up right press down firmly to create an eight pointed star. Move the modelling tool backwards and forwards to widen the shape into a trumpet.
Serrated & Tapered Cone PME 5 Although both ends are cone shaped they are both very different designs.
Mould a small piece of paste into a cone shape and insert the modelling tool to create a hollow centre. Embossed Shapes Hold the modelling tool either up right or at angle and press into the paste.
Embossing Use to emboss simple but effective designs. Stars - Emboss the tip into the paste. Fans - Roll or press the side of the tool into the paste.
Scriber Needle PME 6 & 6T
Removing Cutout Shapes
A scriber is one of those basic tools that once you have one you wondered how you managed without.
A scriber is ideal for removing all those cut-out and moulded shapes that just need a helping hand.
PME 6 is a fine needle and PME6T a thick needle.
Insert the tip of the scriber into the paste and gently ease the shape out. Cutters with high detail may benefit from teasing out the shape in more than one area.
Scribing Patterns, Guidelines and Designs Place the pattern, template or divider onto the cake. Then use the scriber to mark or draw the required detail. Remove the pattern and complete the design following the fine lines or dots as your guide.
