| Gift Parcel Cake | ||
|
 A great thing about this design is that you can use a combination of three different cakes if you like and turn each parcel into a surprise parcel.
You will need 5x500g packs Orchard White Icing, red, orange, yellow and blue food
colouring, 2 or 3 sizes of star cutters, a piping bag, 3 baseboards and 8
skewers. |

Method:
To create effect as per middle parcel, make royal icing and mix with orange food colouring. Pipe through a fine nozzle randomly over yellow iced parcel. TIP: To ensure stability, each parcel should rest on its own baseboard. Use 4 skewers between each 'parcel' at the corners of the bottom and middle cake to hold the parcel up. Now stack cakes on top of one another and arrange a ribbon and bow to finish. Superb! |

Working with the largest cake, roll out the
blue and lay over cake and trim off excess. Set aside. Repeat with the middle cake and ice, then the smallest
cake. Divide the remaining white kneaded icing into 2 equal portions. Roll out one piece
and using a daisy cutter, cut out as many white daisies as icing allows. Coat one side with

yellow colouring into remaining white icing and roll out to cut stars from.
