You will need: 30g red, 30g grey (white paste with a dot of black fondant), 30g green, 15g blue, 15g yellow and leave 10g white for the lettering. Roll the green paste to 2mm thick and cut a 68mm circle. For the studs, you can use either use a 4mm circle plunger or a plain piping tube. Victoria likes to use the plunger as its much faster than the piping tube. Roll the green fondant out to 3mm thick and brush the underside with a touch of water, this helps the studs stick when you plunge them on to the disc. Line them evenly all over the disc until it�s full up. Use the 58mm circle cutter to cut a disc. This gives you a cleaner edge. Roll the red paste to 8mm thick and cut rectangles with a sharp knife. Use a Lego brick to guide the size. Use a 4mm circle plunger to add the studs onto the tops of the bricks. Cut small squares from the yellow paste and add the studs. To make a name decoration, roll the paste out to 2mm thick and cut a 58mm disc. For the lettering, print out your chosen font and text from your computer and cut the letters out to make templates.
Roll the white paste out to 2mm thick and using the alphabet templates, cut around with a sharp knife. Dust the counter with a touch of cornflour, black fondant can be quite sticky so this will help it not stick to the counter. Roll it out to 2mm thick and with a brush of water stick the letters onto the top and trim around the edge with a sharp knife. Repeat with the yellow paste and then stick to the red disc with a brush of water. Ideally these could do with drying overnight. Cardboard cake boxes are good but nothing airtight or they will go soggy. The next day, use a dot of royal icing to stick the bricks to the toppers and then place the finished toppers on to your cakes.If you're in the Nottingham area, we'd love to see you at the Sweet Success cake decorating and sugarcraft shop!

I mean if you check out my first post on it there are over 200 comments! So I shouldn’t have been surprised by the response to last weeks post on how to adapt ingredient amounts for different sized cake tins with a 10″ recipe along side. But there you have it. As promised in last weeks post, here is the chart with all the ingredients you need to make a Madeira cake from a 6″ all the way up to a 12″.
I can’t fit a 14″ in my oven so I don’t possess a tin that size so if anyone needs the ingredients for that you’ll have to measure the volume in ml so that it is 3″ deep and let me know what it is! Then I can work out the rest. This chart is for ROUND Madeira cakes that are 3″ deep so you can slice them in half to fill if you want to. (Buttercream measurements for different size cakes are being calculated now after a reader requested them. So, no more leftovers to devour for me then! I wish I had £1 for every time I misspelt Madeira!!! Here’s the link for the instructions on how to make the Madeira cake. P.P.S.I’ve been re-testing these cakes for the timings which have been taking much longer than originally stated – sorry guys. I’ve just got the 10″ left to test so if you’re baking that size just keep an eye on it after an hour. I’ll be testing the 10″ just as soon as I have more room in my freezer!
