Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

hello I have been asked to make a xmas cake which has what looks like led lights in its windows and does anyone know how to do this and still be able to give a smooth finish thank you x

Hi annabel

Have a look at this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Battery-Operate-LED-Lights-LED-bulbs-paper-lanterns-wedding-party-decoration-/150833372497 It’s a single bulb battery operated led light which could be fixed into a pastilage or gumpaste window frame without touching the cake. If you need to see other forums just google ‘ lights inside cakes’ to view discussions on this topic. I used a small light which looked like a stud on a phone cake I made a couple of years ago. I bought it here http://www.glow-sticks.org/Bohemia-String-Lights.html they may still have them, might be an idea to give them a phone call. Hope other members can help out too. x

Hi Annabel. Iv just come across a cake site that sells LED lights for cakes if thats any use to you. Bakesfromheaven.co.uk. You can also contact them on their facebook page. Haven bought from them myself but will be keeping it in mind for the future. Hope this helps
