Isomalt Snowflakes with Cake Lace
Whether you are making snowflakes for a Frozen cake, or for a Northern Hemisphere inspired Christmas cake, Cake lace trapped inside isomalt is just so pretty!.
The photos speak for themselves, however if you're wondering how it was done
(1) spread cake lace on to snowflake lace mat and allow to dry
(2) Pour melted isomalt over lace snowflake slowly, so that your snowflakes don't join together. Allow to cool
(3) spritz with glitter if desired
(4) peel away from mat - spray with edible glaze, to help fight the humidity

Cookies for a Cat Lover
A friend who is a great cat lover was having a birthday what better than cat cookies. Here at Kiwicakes we have a great range of items for animal lovers including lots of cat cookie cutters
A dilemma which one to choose I finally settled on this one a Sitting Cat
I used this biscuit mix we stock, it keeps its shape very well and doesn't spread during baking.
All directions are on the packet and it is very easy to use.
I used half a packet and that made a full oven tray of biscuits . I cut the biscuits out as instructions and thought I knew better and shifted some of my biscuits to fit more on the tray which distorted my shape slightly.I would not recommend this, I would use two trays next time .
The biscuits are baked at a low temperature and hold their shape well. Instead of Icing I used Renshaws Marzipan. I put this on while the biscuits were still warm to help it stick.
I chose this cat wafer paper. We have an extensive range of wafer paper printed designs at Kiwicakes
I traced round the cutter and stuck the wafer paper down using Sugar Glue
All bagged up and ready to go with the cutter tied round the neck of the bag as an extra gift should the birthday girl like to make more cookies for herself.
I think they got the seal of approval from the birthday girl's cat Phoebe, here she is keeping warm on this cold Winter day.
I hope this inspires you to try your own cookies We have over 600 cutters etc click here for our full range
