It's f...Yes - you definitely need an audience! It's fairly easy to colour the paste, although time consuming, and you need to make sure to use paste colourin rather than liquid colouring. I'd practise with white first maybe, or a readymade colour. Look at one of Lindy Smith's books if you want some good instructions on how to do it....verityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01645380186218270629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-45139499194528921572011-09-05T22:28:37.875+01:002011-09-05T22:28:37.875+01:00Verity, looking forward to seeing what you bake.

How difficult is it to colour the paste?<br />the Sachertorte is great despite the washing up, very pleased wit it.<br /><br />Relish, love red velvet cake but it doesn't love me - I find a little goes a long way. I think I need more people to bake for.Desperate Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708411387912078122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-62592226666981221222011-09-05T20:42:06.034+01:002011-09-05T20:42:06.034+01:00These look amazing oh my god mmm.

I got in the habit of baking every time I go home to my parents - make them them fatty instead of me :-D Ventured into some traditional red velvet cake it was gorgeous.<br /><br />We were off to Burghley but got sidetracked by a BBQ in the rain..I'm not sure is worse!

I have banoffee muffins baking though, my adaption of her banoffee pie cake. I shan't make them into dice though! <br /><br />I can't believe you haven't sugarpasted! It's really not too hard, you just need a decent rolling pin and a bit of courgae<br /><br />I made exactly that sachertorte back in Februiary and must have made about that amount of washing up too - such a faff!verityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01645380186218270629noreply@blogger.com
