A firm, moist batter such as butter cake, carrot cake, or gingerbread works well in intricate moulded pans. These batters capture fine details and unmould cleanly. Grease and flour each cavity thoroughly before filling, or use a baking spray with flour for the best results. How do I decorate the bug cakes after baking? Once unmoulded and cooled, brush the cakes with a thin glaze or dusting of icing sugar to highlight the detail. For a more colourful result, use coloured fondant or royal icing to paint or pipe features on each insect. Edible dusting powders are great for adding wing shimmer.
