September is the month when college courses traditionally
start up in the UK, and many of the cake decorators
around today made their first ventures in to our art as part
of a formal course working towards a cake decorating
qualification. Whilst there are still some excellent courses
on offer, over recent years funding subsidy has dried up,
and for many this is no longer a viable option. To fill the
void more and more shops and sugarcraft schools run
courses throughout the year, and there will be one near you.
If you look at our Course Listing on page 48-49 you can
get an idea of some of the many courses available.
Many of you are also self taught, and each week I receive
many messages telling me how continues to develop
your skills, and this month’s projects will be sure to deliver
more of the same. Amongst the many contributions this
month I am delighted to welcome Helen Scott Reese from
the Netherlands to our pages with her delightful baby
accessory bag.
And when you have finished looking at the magazine, do
take a moment to have a look at our recently upgraded
website (www.cake-craft.com) where you can find so much
more information.

Place the lovebirds stencil on the side of the coated cake and hold it firmly in position. Spread pink royal icing over the stencil using a palette knife. Scrape away the excess and carefully remove the stencil. Repeat 3 times around the side of the cake.
Attach the cake to the prepared cake board with royal icing, offsetting it towards the back to allow room for the cookies to be placed at the front. Attach a 15mm (5/8in) blue ribbon
around the base of the cake.
Dust the top of the saucer with cornflour. Roll out pastillage thinly and cut out a circle to fit your saucer. Place on the saucer and mould carefully to shape. Trim the edge to neaten if necessary then leave to dry removing when firm to allow the underside to dry.
Dust the inside the cup with cornflour. Fit the pastillage inside the cup and trim any overlap. Glue the two sides together, avoiding glue touching the china cup. Gently mould to shape. Leave to dry for about 36 hours, remove from the cup once firm to allow both sides to dry.
Make the plate in the same way and allow to dry. When all the pastillage pieces are thoroughly dry, smooth down any rough edges or tidy with a craft knife/emery board.
Cut out the paper template for the cup, adjust it to fit your cup if necessary, before rolling out the pastillage. Roll out pastillage on a non-stick board dusted with cornflour and use a pizza wheel, or craft knife, to cut out the cup shape.
Coat the cake with marzipan and white sugarpaste in the usual way. Cover the round cake drum in white sugarpaste and leave to dry. Transfer the cookie template onto card. Pastillage requires drying time so it is important to start this project well before it is actually needed. 1 3 2 4 6 5
Note
Preparation
Wrap unused pastillage well and keep it in a polythene bag.Tip
Cut out a 2.5cm (1in) pastillage circle and attach inside the bottom of the cup smoothing the edges. Cut out a 3cm (1¼in) circle as a base and attach the cup on top. (You may need to adjust the size of the circles to fit your own cup).
Roll a thin sausage of pastillage for the handle of the cup and using the template as a guide bend to shape. Trim the ends straight with a sharp knife and glue to the side of the cup. Support in position until dry.
Birthday
Working one petal at a time complete the blue flowers with a No.1 tube. Work the back petals first using the larger No.1.5 tube and pink royal icing. Brush embroider the central flower by drawing the icing into the centre with a damp paintbrush before working the next petal inwards.
With soft peak red royal icing in a No.1 tube pipe in the centres for the pink flowers. Pipe in the centres of the blue flowers using a No.1 tube and soft peak yellow icing.
7 9 8 10 12 11 For brush embroidery you can add ½tsp of piping gel to a cupful of royal icing. This extends the working life of the icing to give you more time to brush the embroidery design.
Tip
Scribe the larger brush embroidery design three times around the edge of the dried pastillage plate. Using the smaller pattern scribe this design carefully three times around the saucer and twice onto the cup.
Add a small amount of piping gel to the royal icing for brush embroidery. Pipe the branches with brown using a No.1 tube. In green royal icing and a No.1 tube pipe the outline of the leaf furthest away in the design. Draw the icing into the centre with a damp paintbrush.
Birthday
Place white royal icing in a No.1 tube and pipe a line and dot pattern in between the brush embroidery. When dry paint over the top of the line work with edible gold paint and a fine paintbrush.
Spread piping gel over the top of the cookie and carefully lift the cut sugarpaste onto the cookie with a palette knife. Repeat for the other pink and white cookies.
Colour a small amount of flower paste with baby blue and claret paste colours. Make a couple of different shades. Cut out a selection of different sized blossoms using the plunger cutters and indent the centres onto a soft food grade sponge.
Roll out a small piece of pink flower paste and fold over the top edge. Roll up loosely and then pinch the bottom to make a rose style miniature flower. Trim off base. Repeat in blue flower paste. For the cookies colour sugarpaste two shades of pink using claret paste colour. Roll out pink sugarpaste to about 3mm thick and cut out the same arch shape as your cookie using the template.
Allow the sugarpaste to firm and then with white royal icing use a No.1 tube to pipe the birdcage outline onto the top of the pink cookies. Pipe in the scroll design. Repeat using gold coloured icing on the white cookie.
13 15 14 16 18 17
Extra cookies can be made to serve to your guests.
Tip
Birthday
Attach the flowers to the top of the cookies using royal icing. I have varied the design on each of the different cookies.
Place the plate stand on the cake with the plate in position. This will help position the other items. Secure the cup and saucer to the top of the cake. Attach the cookies with royal icing to the cake and board. Finish the edge of the board with pink ribbon.
With soft peak yellow royal icing pipe in the centres. Add leaves in green royal icing using a piping bag cut to a ‘V’ shape.
To transport the cake keep the plate separate from the cake and attach it at the venue. 19 21 20

Pink Chocolate Cigarellos
As any cake maker or decorator knows, chocolate cigarellos are one of the easiest ways to transform a simple sponge into a celebration cake. But until recently there has only been milk, dark and white chocolate cigarellos available. Now in a world first, thanks to the Chocolate

Made in Belgium from the finest white chocolate, the cigarellos are a delicate shade of dusky pink that will enhance almost any style of cake from birthdays to weddings.
They can be used to finish the top of a cake and look fantastic on either cream or ivory icing but are equally impressive on an indulgent dark chocolate ganache. Or position up-right pink cigarellos using buttercream around the edge of a cake and top with fresh roses for a dramatically different but simple celebration cake.
Pink chocolate cigarellos are available exclusively from the Chocolate Trading Company and prices start from £7.95 for a small box of 50. To order visit: www.chocolatetradingco.com

Rose Wedding Cake
Wedding
Marion Frost Ph oto graph y: C lar k S mith -S tan leyWedding
Place the cake board onto a sheet of paper and use this as a guide to draw a circle. Cut out the paper circle and fold into 16.
Open the paper circle and place it onto a freshly iced board. Use a pin to mark a small hole at the edge of the board through the paper into the icing using the folds as a guide. Continue around the board marking all 16 holes. Remove the paper circle.
Place the left side of the largest size embosser onto the pinhole and keeping it level roll the embosser into the sugarpaste to emboss the pattern. Repeat around the cake. This will create even spacing of the pattern and will leave a gap between each section.
Take the 6cm deep paper strip and cut it to the exact circumference of the cake, fold it in half widthways and then fold it into 6 lenthways. Undo the paper strip and place it around the freshly covered cake securing with a small piece of sticky tape. Use a pin and the centre fold line to accurately mark a small hole halfway up each of the six upright foldlines.
Use the same embosser as used around the board to emboss above the side design to fill the gaps. Leave to dry overnight. Place the end of the small flower embosser onto the icing so the
left side is just touching a pinhole. Press the embosser into the icing. Remove the embosser and replace it onto the next pinhole. This will create even spacing of the embossing around the board. 1 3 2 4 6 5
Place the cake onto the embossed board and attach the 3mm ribbon around the base of the cake. Leave enough ribbon to overlap, and secure with a small piece of double-sided sticky tape.
Mix isopropyl alcohol with green dust colour to make a liquid and paint the pattern around the board, change to pink and finally use a fine paintbrush to paint the gold and blue blossoms. Repeat around the side of the cake in the same order.
Wedding
Attach the ribbon around the side of the cake. Moisten the cut-out embossed piece with water and attach onto the cake side. Repeat around the cake leaving approximately 1cm space between.
Mix alcohol and dust colours and paint the design in the same sequence as for the bottom and top tiers. Dowel the bottom and middle tiers making certain that each piece of dowel is the same length for each tier. Spread softened sugarpaste onto the centre of both tiers and then stack all three tiers. Should the ribbon on the middle tier slip, then re-position it.

Write the cake board size onto the paper circle and keep for future use. When piping with royal icing use a damp paintbrush to push down any points on the icing.
Tips
Use royal icing and a No.2 piping tube to over-pipe the embossed side design. Repeat these instructions for the top tier placing the cake on a thin cake board the same size as the cake before icing. Also ice the middle tier and leave to dry.
Mix 175g of flower paste and 175g of sugarpaste together and roll out a small piece of this paste on a lightly greased non-stick board. Grease the centre of the ‘0’ cutter, place onto the paste and press firmly. Remove the cutter and the paste from around the centre of the number. Emboss the piece with the same embosser used on the bottom tier.

Wedding
On a lightly greased non-stick board roll out white flower paste. Grease the small heart cutter and place onto the paste. Cut out small hearts and use a piping tube to cut out small circles. Moisten and attach onto the middle tier.
On a lightly greased non-stick board roll out pink flower paste, grease the rose cutter and cut out one flower.
Moisten all five petals with water, position the cocktail stick into the centre of the flower and slide the flower up behind the dried cone.
Wrap the first petal tightly around the cone. Wrap the opposite petal around tightly. The petals will overlap and must be the same height.
Roses: Roll a small ball of flower paste into a cone shape and push onto a dampened cocktail stick making certain it is firmly attached. Leave to dry overnight.
Place the flower onto a sponge pad and, using a bone tool, soften around the edge of each petal to create movement. 13 15 14 16 18 17
Use leftover pieces of paste to make cones. Leave to dry and store for future use.
Tip
Wedding
Follow with the third, fourth and fifth petals. These petals can also overlap. Press around the base of the flower to create a rounded shape.
The second layer of petals are attached in the same sequence as the first but once attached curl back the edges of the petals to open the flower slightly.
This first layer of petals should be tight with no curled back edges, and the cone should not be seen when viewed from above.
Push a cup of foil up the stick to support the rose until it is dry. This can be held in place with a paper clip. Make 16 roses. Use double-sided sticky tape to attach ribbon around boards. The top tier can be a dummy cake for the bride to keep. 19
21
Cut out the third layer of petals and soften on the sponge pad. Turn the flower over, moisten with water and slide up behind the flower on the cocktail stick. Turn the flower upside down to let the petals fall naturally and whilst holding the stick in one hand curl the petals back. Allow to dry - see tip.
22
When dry dust the centre of the flower with a darker shade of pink and paint a calyx onto the back with a mixture of dark green dust colour and alcohol. Place a ball of sugarpaste onto the top tier add the bottom layer of roses by pushing the cocktail stick of each rose into the sugarpaste ball. Add a second row and a single rose for the top. Spaces can be filled with pearls, bow loops or filler flowers.

Sense Of Achievement
I’m new to cake decorating, more of a home baker really and a keen crafter. The main reason I do these hobbies is because of mental illness, which I’ve suffered with from a young age, I’m now in my forties and currently suffering with anorexia which is a living
nightmare - but to try and ‘escape’ I turn to baking, crafting and now cake decorating.
These are two of my cakes, one was for my
nephew and the other a friend’s engagement, both were first attempts at shaping a cake and tiering a cake.
I just want to send a little hope to anyone else who is suffering with any type of illness, to have a go if
possible. Even if it just gives you a small and brief feeling of relief and escape, it’s worth it. Stephanie Short, email.
Congratulations Stephanie, you are our winner of message of the month.
SkyLanders Cake
I’ve always loved baking and studied food technology at secondary school but that was nearly 20 years ago now. I work as a store manager at Hobbycraft, and being surrounded by such wonderful products inspired me to start making cakes beginning with a few cupcakes. My first big project was our wedding cake last October. I embarked on three tiers of 6 inch deep cakes, not an easy project at all but was delighted with the end result.
The Tree-Rex SkyLanders cake was probably the most challenging cake that I’ve done, I am still learning modelling and it was not liking all the weight of the icing on top of its legs! So much detail on this one too with the shading to try and make him look like a tree trunk!

Over To You
Too Good to Cut?
When I was asked to make a totally bespoke cake for my 2nd cousin’s christening this idea sprung to mind. Not knowing how this would turn out, I was shocked at how totally realistic the cake was. The cake was delivered to the christening which I also attended. I’ve never received so many super comments and as of yet I believe it has still not been cut?
This is my hobby! And I’ve been making cakes for family and friends for just over a year and I love to try and make my cakes look as realistic as possible! I’ve made many realistic cakes from Sunday roasts to Macdonald meals but I think the baby one has to be the most lifelike; its almost scary!

Runouts
This is a method for creating motifs, lettering and other decorations for your cakes. The principle is very simple. First of all you pipe an outline then you flood the area inside the outline with watered down royal icing. The decoration is then left to harden before being attached to your cake.
You will need
Waxed paper or plastic folder Sticky tape
Royal icing Food colour pastes Paper piping bags No. 1, 2 or 3 nozzles Scissors
Small soft fine paintbrush
1
Choose your design and place it underneath some waxed paper or a clean plastic folder. It must be flat so if you’re using waxed paper you may find it helpful to hold the edges in place with a little sticky tape.2
Place some dark coloured royal icing into a piping bag fitted with a No. 1 or 2 piping nozzle. To avoid ‘tails’ forming when you stop piping stir a few drops of water into the icing first, so that when you lift the stirrer out of the icing the tip of the peak falls over. Then pipe over your outline.3
Now you need to infill the outline. First place a little royal icing into a small bowl and stir in the required colour. The icing then needs to be watered down so it can flow and flood the runout. Add the water gradually until the tail that forms when you lift out the stirrer disappears back into the icing on a count of 7.4
Pour the runny icing into a piping bag. You may find it best to make and use a paper piping bag as using a nozzle can damage the outline. Close the bag and snip a tiny triangle off the end. Alternatively you could use a smallplastic food bag. If you prefer to use a nozzle, use a No. 2 or 3 nozzle.
5
Squeeze and fill the area with the icing using a gentle side-to-side motion. Use the tip of a fine soft paintbrush to coax the icing into any awkward areas.6
Repeat using a different colour to fill a different section of the runout. Once completed, leave the runout where it is to dry thoroughly.TIP: In the olden days of incandescent light
bulbs that got hot, you could speed up the drying time by positioning an anglepoise lamp close to your runout. If you still have one – use it!

Royal Icing Techniques
For many people if you say the words royal icing it conjures up
an image of a cake with a rock hard covering and jokes about
needing a pick axe to cut it. However for an icing so famous for
its brittle qualities there are an incredible number of delicate
techniques with which you can create stunning and intricate
creations to adorn your cakes. Here are a few...
Runout Lettering
First of all you will need a lettering template. Lettering is easy to find in cake books or from the internet.
The method used is exactly the same as for making a decorative runout. Place a sheet of waxed paper or a plastic folder over the template. Trace over the template to create a royal icing outline with a No. 1 or 2 piping nozzle then infill with watered down royal icing.
TIP: Runouts are very fragile so it’s always worth
making a few extra decorations in case of breakages.
Pressure Piping
Pressure piping is a fairly quick way to create small smooth decorations and lettering that don’t have the outline ridge of a runout. As its name suggests, pressure piping is all about how much pressure you apply when squeezing the piping bag. Squeeze gently and the flow through the piping nozzle is thin. Squeeze harder and the icing will flow faster and produce a thicker finish. The royal icing itself needs to be fairly thin so that it can be piped into shapes but not so runny that it cannot hold its shape. It should be somewhere between the soft peak and run out consistency.
Pressure Piped Decorations
You will need
Template
Plastic sleeve/folder or flat sheet of waxed paper Piping bags
No. 2 and 3 or 4 piping nozzles Pink food colour
Royal icing
Small bowls for mixing Black food colour pen
Pressure Piped Pig
(Hah! Bet you can’t repeat that quickly after a few shandies!!)
1
Place the template under the waxed paper or plastic sleeve. Place some pink coloured royal icing into a piping bag fitted with a No. 2 piping nozzle and pipe the legs, ears and tail. Squeeze a small blob of icing out, release the pressure and allow the piping tail to taper away into the body or head area.2
Place some pink icing into another bag fitted with a No. 3 or 4 piping nozzle and squeezing harder than you did for the ears etc. Pipe a large blob for his body.3
When the body has hardened pipe a smaller blob for his head.4
When the pig’s face has set hard enough, pipe a small oval for his nose and allow to harden. Using a food colour pen, draw two dots for his eyes and nose and a curl on his tail.TIP: Royal Icing decorations can be kept for
months so it’s always worth making more than you need. Store them on sheets of waxed paper in a box somewhere cool.
Pressure Piped Puppy
Amazing to think that just a few piped circles can create something as cute as this. Remember the royal icing has to be watered down to the point where it will still hold its shape but not leave annoying tails and marks as it’s piped. Use a soft damp paintbrush to pat down anything annoying.
1
Using a No. 3 piping nozzle, pipe a large white disk for his body and leave to dry.2
Pipe a white oval for his head and four small circles for his feet and leave them to dry.Sugar Skills School
3
Place a No. 2 piping nozzle into a piping bag with a little watered down black food colour. Pipe two ears, a ball for his nose and a little string at the top of his head for his tail.4
When the dog’s head is completely dry, make two dots for his eyes using a food colour pen. Attach royal iced decorations onto royal iced or sugarpasted cakes with dots of royal icing. Don’t use water or they will start to dissolve. If you are using these for decorations on buttercream, put them on at the last moment as they will start to absorb oil from the buttercream after about a day although it could be faster depending upon humidity and temperatures.Brush Embroidery
You will need
Five petal flower cutter Piping bags
No. 2 piping nozzle
Pink, yellow and gooseberry green coloured royal icing
Small soft paintbrush Water
Clean cloth
This is a simple but effective way to create pretty flowers for your cakes. If you are working on a royal iced cake or a sugarpasted cake that has been allowed to harden you won’t be able to press a cutter into the icing to act as a guide so pipe the flower shapes onto the cake freehand one at a time instead.
1
Before your cake’s sugarpaste covering has had time to harden, carefully press a flower cutter into the icing. Don’t go right through, you simply need it to leave an impression that will act as a guide for you to pipe.2
Using a No. 2 piping nozzle, pipe over the outline of one of the flowers.3
Using a damp paintbrush, carefully draw the icing inwards towards the centre of the flower. Pipe and repeat on the other flowers.4
Pipe a leaf outline and brush the icing towards the centre of the leaf. Your brush must be damp not wet so keep a cloth handy to wipe your brush on if it gets too wet.5
To finish pipe a few little green fronds and dots around the leaves and a cluster of yellow dots in the centre of each flower.TIP: This technique works well on cookies or
cupcakes too. Cut out a sugarpaste disk, press the flower cutter into the sugarpaste and pipe the flowers as above, then pop onto a cake or cookie.
Collars
Collars are an impressive way to extend the edges of your cakes and create the illusion of gravity defying cake decorations. They are also extremely fragile!
The easiest way to make a collar is in sections so that if you break a bit you haven’t got to remake the entire collar. Here is a simple design to get you started.

Chocolate Cravings
Roll out ivory chocolate paste onto a light dusting of icing sugar to approximately 2mm thick. Using the endless garrett frill cutter, begin to cut strips of ivory paste out, each strip can vary in length.
Chocolate Wedding Cake
Gently start to frill the edge of the strip with a small rolling pin. Roll across the paste edge with the rolling pin half on and half off the strip.
Make ivory coloured white chocolate roses using a five petal cutter. Roll out ivory coloured chocolate paste and cut out three petals and assemble the rose around a cone.
Roll out ivory chocolate paste and use the daisy cutters to cut out tiny blossoms and attach these to the finished cake with a little sugar glue.
Leave to dry on a white former. Chocolate paste will stick to itself, however the addition of sugar glue on the outside of the petals may be required as the rose begins to dry, to hold them in position. Leave the roses to dry for a couple of hours before attaching to the cake with tempered chocolate.
1 2
Use the veining tool to frill the edge of the strip, make sure the paste and the tool have icing sugar on them to prevent the paste becoming sticky.

Place the three smaller cakes on to the same size cake board and the 10in cake on the 14in cake drum in the centre. Cover the top of each cake with a circle of ivory chocolate paste and leave the sides uncovered, attach to the cake with chocolate buttercream. Dowel and stack the four cakes and secure each cake with tempered chocolate or buttercream that contains melted Belgian chocolate.
Preparation
Gently press a row of holes just under the frill with the No. 3 nozzle to create an embroidery anglaise effect. Make sure the holes are evenly spaced to avoid tearing when lifting the strip onto the cake.
4
Carefully coat the back of the strip lightly with white chocolate buttercream, up as far as the holes, do not coat the frilled part. Lift the strip onto the cake starting at the top and position. Continue to add strips to the cake, covering each side as you go, allow the strips to overlap.

Cover all three cakes with white sugarpaste, this can be done the day before you want to decorate the cake. Dowel and stack the cakes. Pipe royal icing around each tier to neaten any gaps between the cake and the boards.
Attach the strips at the bottom leaving half inch between each of the strips, using a damp paintbrush. Cut the stripes neatly with a craft knife at the top of the cake.
Roses: Make a cone for each of the 6 roses out of gumpaste. Roll out gumpaste and cut layers of rose petals with the five-petal cutter. Frill the edges of the five-petals. Use a cocktail stick to shape the petals.
Roll out white sugarpaste and cut strips with the ribbon cutter. Place these under plastic until you are ready to use them.
Lightly dust the moulds with cornflour to help release the finished shapes. Use gumpaste to make six round jewel shapes, nine square jewel shapes and six strips of lace. Using royal icing to stick the pieces in place attach the lace pieces around the bottom of the middle tier and the square jewel shapes around the bottom of the top tier.
Glue the petals around the buds. Make six roses, two large, two medium and two small roses.
Make six sponge cakes, 2 each of 6in, 8in and 10in. Cut each cake in half and using four same sized layers stick them together with buttercream. Then buttercream the outside. Cover 14in cakeboard with sugarpaste. 1 3 2 4 6 5

Dahlias: To make the dahlia flower cut out three sizes of daisy petals in gumpaste using the daisy cutters.
Cut out individual petals with the dahlia cutter and vein. Frill with the ball tool to thin the edges of the petals. Glue and fold the petals to make a fluted shape.
Attach the petals round the centre of the dahlia to the required size. You will need to make three dahlia flowers.
Make the centre of the dahlias by rolling a small half-inch ball. Thin the daisy petals with a ball tool on a firm sponge pad. Glue the petals around the ball.
Cut out more petals with the individual dahlia petal cutters. Shape the edges of these petals as shown.
Use the petunia cutter and veiner set to cut out a flower. Place the cut out piece of paste between the double sided veiner and squash to imprint the veins. Repeat using other blossom cutters to make a selection of small flowers with the petunia veiner. 7 9 8 10 12 11

110g (4oz) self-raising flour ½ teaspoon baking powder 1 dessertspoon cocoa powder
Topping
110g (4oz) icing sugar green food colouring 110g (4oz) sugarpaste Food colourings of you choice
Method
1
Heat the oven to Gas 4/180°C/350°F. Grease the moulds and place them on a baking tray.2
In a bowl beat together all the cake ingredients. Divide between the moulds, stand them on a baking tray and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until firm on the top. Leave them in the moulds. Trim the tops if necessary.3
Divide the sugarpaste in three and colour each with your chosen colours. Roll out each thinly and cut out with the blossom cutter, shape on a piece of sponge and put a small ball of white in the centre.4
Mix the icing sugar with only enough water to make a coating consistency and colour it green. Spread some on the cakes and stick he blossoms on top.Choose your own flowers to put on the cake tops.
These cakes in the plant pot cases are so unusual and great

easy and quick. The decoration of flowers and colours can
be made to suit any occasion. Here I have just made a
simple easy finish.
You will need the Lakeland plant pot cake moulds
and a small blossom cutter.

Blackberry and Apple Cheesecake
This has such a lovely strong flavour of the fruits and a beautiful colour. If you are able to
pick your own blackberries this is one of the best ways of using them and teaming them
with apples deepens the flavour. The mousse sits on a crunchy biscuit base.
You will need a 20cm/8in spring form or loose base sandwich cake tin,
also a piping bag and star tube.
Ingredients
Base
110g (4oz) ginger biscuits 50g (2oz) butter 25g (1oz) demerara sugar
Cheesecake
450g (1lb) blackberries 225g (8oz) cooking apples 75g (3oz) granulated sugar 15g (1 sachet) powdered gelatine 225g (8oz) cream cheese 150ml (5fl oz) double cream 1 egg white
Method
1
With Bake-O-Glide or baking parchment paper line the base of the tin and put a strip around the inside sides. (This prevents discolouration).2
Base: Crush the biscuits finely, mix in the sugar.In a pan melt the butter and stir in the biscuit mixture.
3
Press into the base of the tin and put into the refrigerator.4
Cheesecake: Wash the blackberries if necessary,reserve 8 for decoration. Peel, core and chop the apples, cook with the blackberries over a gentle heat with 25g (1oz) of the sugar until soft.
5
Strain off the liquid and reserve it. Rub the fruit through a sieve to remove the seeds. Taste and add more sugar if required. Make up to 300ml6
Put 4 tablespoons of juice in a small pan, sprinkle on the gelatine, leave it to swell then melt it over very gentle heat but do not boil.7
In a bowl soften the cream cheese, beat in the blackberry purée and the melted gelatine.8
Half whip the cream and fold two thirds into the mixture. Whip the egg white to a peak and carefully fold it in.9
Pour onto the biscuit base and put into the refrigerator until set (about 2 hours).10
When required remove from the tin.11
With the remaining cream pipe 8 rosettes around the top edge and place the reserved blackberries on top.Frozen blackberries can be used when fresh are unavailable.
