Hi Suzi
It really depends on the type of cake you have baked. If you’ve made a madeira it will last up to 2 weeks

How long will this cake last if covered with buttercream and sugarpaste? I made a 12″ one with glycerin on Tuesday night and have found out it won’t be eaten until Saturday.

Hi Emma
I once made a wedding bed cake, see below. The headboard was made from pastillage which I coloured and then painted once the shape was complete. Pastillage is very strong so ideal for a headboard, however it is also very brittle so you have to be carefull when putting it together. You could try using gum trag in sugarpaste but it is susceptable to moisture so may not retain it’s shape, I would recommend pastillage – recipe in my books.
good luck
Lindy

Hello Sarah,
Black icing is always a problem, but using Extra Black paste would be the best way.
