I couldn't say at the time, but I used your tutorials to help make a 3 tier Harry Potter cake with the sorting hat/wand for a themed wedding yesterday (fortunate to live in the IOM). So helpful, thanks again x x
Thanks so much Rhianydd, this tutorial and the wand came at a great time! I've made them previously, but not in so much detail and I didn't realise there was a ribbon & patch on the hat (I haven't see the films.....!!!!). I usually cover my RKT with a little ganache as it always ends up lumpy and the shape of the rice krispies show through the sugarpaste. I'll try your knife technique in future, thanks. Can't wait to see the cake, your creations are fabulous x x
I adore the films so much lol I am so pleased you like it. Yes, ganache is great for covering rice krispies, but I find that I can rub a rolling pin or smoother over my shapes and the lumps and bumps go away if the rkt is still soft. If it is firm, then I sculpt them with a serrated knife. Hope that helps :D
Hi caitlyn, yes they will keep for quite a while if kept away from damp conditions (although a little egg cup of rice where you store them will take away the moisture) and also out of direct sunlight to stop fading They sadly won’t keep forever as all food eventually breaks down but I usually keep my teaching subjects for at least a year on display 😊

Hi, how long can you keep it before putting it on the cake?
