diagonally across the cake board. Mix the cocoa
powder into the remaining butter icing I and spread
evenly over the top and sides of the boat.

rudder and tiller from short lengths of flake
and place them at the stem of the boat. Split
the rest of the flakes lengthways and press on
to the sides of the boat, horizontally, to
resemble planks of wood. Sprinkle the crumbs
over the top.
Cut two rice
paper rectangles, one 14 x 16cm and the
other 15 x 7.5cm/6 x 3in. Cut the bigger one in a
gentle curve to make the large sail and the smaller
one into a triangle. Brush a circle of blue powder

sails and stick on to the straw. Make a hole for the
straw 7.5cm/3in from the bow of the boat and push

Cut a rice paper
flag and brush with red powder Tint. Stick the flag
on to a cocktail stick and insert into the top of
the straw. Tint the royal icing blue and spread on
the board in waves. Place the small ornaments on the
