DevianTART by claremanson on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Happy New Year and thank you to everyone at DA for all the inspiration, tips and advice i have received over the years and in particular over the past year since i really got into baking, photography and polymer clay making, i love you all and would not have come so far without you all

strawberry conserve and custard tart. I have been asked a few times why i made it red and not green, well a few reasons really. Firstly i am new to piping frosting so did not want to ruin it. Secondly i thought red would stand out better. Thirdly, my kids were going to eat it so i did not want to add too much sugar to it as a sugar high 4 year old and almost 2 year old is not so fun to deal with

As for the design, I don't have a printer so could not print off a stencil for this which would have been so handy. Instead i had to shape it by hand with a very sharp knife using the poster tube i received from deviantart (i bought a print for a friends christmas present) that has the DA symbol on as a reference.

Oh and thank you DA for completely embarrassing me by posting this on both Facebook and Twitter! not used to all the attention!
