Print and cut out the Jemima template listed above onto A4 paper. To make the frosting, beat the butter until pale and smooth. Beat in the vanilla, then slowly add in the icing sugar on a low setting. Add in the heavy cream to make it easier to mix. Add more cream if necessary. Colour ½ a cup of frosting blue, ½ a cup of frosting with the sifted cocoa, ¼ cup of frosting dark grey and leave the remaining frosting uncoloured.
Tip: You only need to add in a tiny amount of food colouring gel when colouring frosting
