Sometimes you don't have time. Sometimes you just have to improvise. Recently I put together a cake decoration inside 5 minutes. The day before I had made an angel food cake ready to decorate it elaborately but another job came in at the last minute and the decoration of the cake (which was for a friend) had to take second place. To be honest I love what I managed. It certainly looks as if it too longer and had a lot more thought to it but sometimes gut instinct works better on personalised cakes. I thought of the person the cake was for and the colour pink bounced out at me. She reminds me of a bit of a hippy. Someone more esoteric than logical. Someone who still believed in the desire to believe in fairies and a perfect sweet dreamy world and I think I achieved it. She certainly loved it.
