KEY TO THE DOOR RECIPE | GOOD FOOD
Gold-edged filigree work gives an interesting finish to this 18th or 21st birthday celebration cake. Filigree work is piped with royal icing but is a random pattern and not difficult practise on paper or spare icing before you start.

Steps:
Cover the cake with marzipan and secure to the cake board with a little royal icing. Dust the top, to within 2.5 cm (1 inch) of the edges, with cornflour. Brush the rest of the cake with egg white or clear alcohol as usual before covering it. Cut out a 23 cm (9 inch) square of non-stick baking paper.
Removing the centre panel
Cover the cake with sugarpaste, reserving the trimmings. Once the sugarpaste is completely smoothed around the edges and sides of the cake, lay the square of non-stick baking paper over the top, securing it at the corners with pins. Using a sharp knife, cut right through the sugarpaste around the paper. Lift out the central square of white sugarpaste. Remove the paper and pins.
Knead the white sugarpaste square and trimmings together and colour with equal quantities of blue and green colourings. Roll out and cut out a 23 cm (9 inch) square, reserving the trimmings. Brush the empty panel on top of the cake with clear alcohol and lay the square of coloured sugarpaste over the top of the cake, so that it fits neatly into the space. Smooth the edges lightly.
Use the coloured sugarpaste trimmings to make the key using the template, right, to cut out the shape. Leave overnight to harden.
Piping filigree
Put a little royal icing in a paper piping bag fitted with a number 1 piping tube and pipe thin wavy lines over two-thirds of the coloured sugarpaste. Pipe long, continuous, curvy lines, keeping the tube about 1 cm (½ inch) above the cake and breaking off frequently to rest your hand and change position.
Using more royal icing and a medium star tube, pipe a shell border around the edge of the coloured paste and around the base of the cake. Leave overnight to harden.
Finishing touches
Using gold food colouring and a fine paintbrush, carefully paint over the piped icing. Paint the edges of the key with a little gold colouring. Leave to dry for several hours.
Wrap the ribbon around the sides of the cake, cutting off the excess and securing with a dot of royal icing. Shape the remaining ribbon into a bow and secure to the top of the cake with a dab of royal icing. Lay the key over the bow, securing with a small dot of royal icing.
