Tiara and pillow cake for Diana's 21st

I used marshmallow fondant to cover the cake and royal icing for the tiara.

How to make a tiara out of royal icing (needs a few days to finish!)

1. Print out sketch and sticky tape it to a cylindrical object. I used a hot chocolate tin.
2. Tape baking paper over the printout.
3. Prepare your royal icing and with a fine tip, pipe over the sketch and ensuring that all the adjacent bits are touching each other.
4. Let dry for a couple of hours and then repeat over the royal icing.
5. Repeat this a few times. More layer strengthens the integrity of the icing, but too many will make it look messy and bulky. I suggest about 3 layers should be fine.
6. Allow to dry completely over a day. The outside may look dry but the inside may still be wet.
7. Be very careful as you lift the tiara off the tin and peel the baking paper off. Or when you're placing it on your cake or transporting it. Basically, just be extra careful because it is extremely fragile!
   

n/b If your tiara breaks, you will able to join the broken edges together by applying some royal icing in between and allowing to set and dry. If there are too many pieces though, it might be easier to just start from scratch!
