2nd Experiment with mushrooms

This is the 2nd experiment for the mushrooms. 

For this experiment I used button mushrooms, royal icing, red food colouring and writing icing. 

I wrapped a button mushroom in royal icing and painted it with red food colouring... then left it to dry over night. 

Once again this experiment did not work, this time it was because the mushroom is smooth and slippery therefore the icing slipped off into a heap underneath the mushroom. 

I then had a quick experiment that I thought would fix the problem... with a button mushroom I gave it a small coating of jam to try and make it sticky, something for the icing to stick to.. but sadly it failed and the icing slid off again.
