1 Make cookie dough of your choice, cutting

out the desiredshapes. Bake andleave tocool. I useda simple oval shape.

2 Roll out some fondant to cover the cookie.The fondant shouldbe rolleda little thicker

than 1mm, as it will go thinner when rollingover the embossingmould.

3 Place the embossingmouldon the worksurface anddust with a light coveringof

the top andwith one motion push therollingpin over to make an impression in the fondant. Usingpipinggel or sugar syrup,

dampen the cookie andstick the embossedfondant on top.

4

–I have usedwhite andblue –andpop thedesign out of the mould.

5 Place the mouldedfondant onto somepreviously cut white fondant, with somepipinggel to make i t stick. Stick this on the

embossedsurface on the cookie with somemore pipinggel.

hut templates

CARV ING THE CAK ES

1 Make two paper templates for each hut –arectangle with a triangle on top, as you seefor each hut front.

2 Level the cake to a height of 6cm (238in)andplace one of the templates on top,

securing it in place with cocktail sticks(toothpicks). Take a carving knife andcutvertically aroundthe template.

3 Attach the secondtemplate to the other

side of the cake with cocktail sticks, ensuringthe templates are perfectly aligned, anduseit to adjust your carvedshape to ensurethat it is perfectly symmetrical. Repeat to

create as many huts as you wish. You should

be able to cut all three huts from the 15cm

(6in)square cake.

4 Attach each cake hut to a hardboardbaseusing buttercream.

COV ERING THE HU T

5 Kneadthe navy blue sugarpaste to warm,then roll out to a depth of 5mm (¼in)using spacers. Cut two straight edges at

right angles to each other, then, using a setsquare anda craft knife , mark5mm (¼in)intervals. Take a straight edge –I use my1mm spacers –andindent vertical lines on

the paste to create the vertical cladding.

6 Carefully pickup the paste andplace it

paste over so the underside is uppermost.

7 Cover the backof the cake hut with athin layer of buttercream, then carefully

place the buttercreamedsurface on top ofthe rolledout sugarpaste. Using a paletteknife, cut the navy blue sugarpaste to size,

the cake to achieve a straight cut.

8 Place the cake upright on its base and, ifnecessary, adjust the embossedvertical

cladding using the set square. Next cover
