colored and
chocolate vermicelli, wafers and chocolate sticks
sweets
3 12-egg egg
boxes foil
Method:
Make the
stands for the cakes by turning the egg boxes
upside down and pressing three balls of marzipan
into evenly spaced holes in each box. Wrap the
boxes in foil. Pierce the foil above the
marzipan balls and insert the cones, pressing
them in gently.
Gently push a
fairy cake into each cone. If the bases of the
cakes are too large, trim them down with a
small, sharp knife. The cakes should be quite
secure in the cones.
Divide the butter
icing into three bowls and tint them pale red, green
and brown.
Using a small
palette knife, spread each cake with some of one of
the icings, making sure that the finish on the icing
is a little textured so it looks like ice cream.
To insert a wafer
or chocolate stick into an ice cream, use a small,
sharp knife to make a hole through the icing and
into the cake, then insert the wafer or stick. Add
the finishing touches to the cakes by sprinkling
over some colored and chocolate vermicelli. Arrange
sweets around the cones.
