See Rural! We are on to you now so your weather predictions had better be right

Rural Hungary

Oh god, not more pressure - I'll have a breakdown at this rate!!! Making a cake for a clients, daughters birthday and realised I am out of glycerine for making fondant icing.... What do you think my chances are that the village shop will have it, none, none or none?

Pollypaprika

Hmmm, possibly none

Rural Hungary

Yep, that's what I reckoned. Going to try making it without and if all else fails........ a mad dash to Tesco's in the morning for a cake

Oh dear, you will have to go out in the snow/sleet/rain delete as appropriate to put the icing on the cake. Oh the irony.

Rural Hungary

No.... I will have to try and get out of the possibly snowed in village to get the cake to the party

Rural Hungary

Kids just got up and looked out the window at the couple of inches of snow and said, "oh mum, you said there wouldn't be anymore snow!" They have now banned me from mentioning the weather again as apparently I jinx it. In my defense (cough,cough) even last night, the three weather sites I use were all stating rain last night, not SNOW

Dear Rural
probably too late now, looked on line and found you can make a marshmallow fondant icing, www.allrecipes.co.uk, never tried it so no idea if it works or not
probability that your local shop might have marshmallows better than glycerine, but then again this is the mystery of Hungary.
Good luck with the cake

Rural Hungary

Thanks hen, I ended up doing a royal icing for the main cake and fondant for the decorations, made it with gelatine and ermmm pig fat instead of shortening but it worked

Can't do Monday as I am working, will send you an email.

I think its safe to say 'see you next year snow'....this time try not to stick around so long
